Corbett KO'd Jeffries.

As a response to Mendoza's oft repeated assertion ,that Gunboat Smith tko'd Jack Johnson, here is a link that shows Jim Corbett knocked out Jim Jeffries in a set -to in his training camp.


This was kindly sent to me by another poster, who may reveal himself later,thanks again to him.

It should be interesting watching Mendoza try and wriggle out of this one.

Impressive.:good

 

Actually it's a primary source. I've read that Corbett dazed Jeffries several times ,but never been able to get any detail.

This not only supplies it, it names the day, time , and place.
Those who were present, and gives a blow by blow account.
Jeffries , out of it for three minutes ,and being lifted to his feet, by Corbett and Charlie White

Ko'd by perhaps the lightest hitting heavyweight champion of all time,who weighed in the low 180's at the time.atsch
You will just have to learn to live with it.

For the record ,Smith NEVER floored Johnson ,he put him halfway through the ropes, in sparring .he did NOT KO or TKO him either.This is verified by Smith's own taped interview.

Smith was a heavy duty banger with his right hand. Corbett was perhaps the lightest hitting Champ of the heavies.

YOU ARE NOW THE BITER BIT .
HOISTED WELL AND TRULY ,ON YOUR OWN MENDACIOUS , AGENDA DRIVEN ,PETARD.

It couldn't happen to a more suitable person.

 

I know someone who would rather it had remained undiscovered.:rofl

 

If he had said good find, you would be.

 

That's good confirming info H.E.

It flies in the face of Mendoza's assertions , but hey, no surprise there .Thanks again.:good

 

A contract has just been taken out on you.atsch
