You're the liar. Now we know you make up stuff just to get a reaction. Shame on you. I'm not surprised, it's in your character.
I told two posters what I had done. You don't have a character, you are just a cipher, now get back to your reading and writing lessons. You sure need them!
My source is is James J Jeffries http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=348287 It is under Clay Moyles post with the heading of Part II. Note that this biography does seem to talk about Ketchell hitting Corbett rather than Farmer Burns. I think this may just be poor wording of the story, because i am pretty sure i have read elsewhere (also in slightly more detail) that it was Farmer Burns who was the one who was hit rather than Corbett. Of course, my memory is not always as good as it should be.
Ketchel was barred from the camp, it was Burns and Papke and after Papke took a swing at the 47 years old Burns, the wrestler got him in a hold and made him submit ,this was in front of over 400 spectators gathered to see Jeffries work out. It's in THE GREAT WHITE HOPES by Graeme Kent page 80. Corbett and Choynski got into a blazing row and Jeffries had to be called to break them up too.
So, is McGrain for fake information here? You shame the forum yet again, and I for one never bought it. Shame on you. But we know you have little shame.:deal
Interesting story. But not anything id take to heart and certainly not anything I'd use to make a prediction in a fight.. When two guys are drunk and one of them takes a shot before the other guy expects it, anyone can get knocked down or even out.
McGrain suggested I tell the forum which I've done and intended to do anyway.Shame the Forum. You really are priceless! You never bought it? How's the Harry Greb film doing?
