    And Corbett. It is known Jeffries broke Sharkeys ribs, but did he do simliar to other opponents. this has been claimed but has it ever been verified, at all.

    Jeffries had a great short hook to the body. He bashed Corbett's side in in the 2nd fight, and did break Sharkey's Ribs. Not sure about Ruhlin, though he did hurt and floor him with a body shot.

    thanks mendoza. still alittle skeptical about corbetts ribs as i have heard for decades about sharkeys ribs as he reported this, but only relatively recently have i heard about corbett and ruhlins damage. did corbett or his manager report this ? again thanks

    If Jeffries were Adam, there would have been no Eve.
