    Difficult one to predict, since Jeffries is a matter of opinion, but I will have a go.

    I suspect that the Jeffries of the second Corbett fight, would have worn Charles down with jios sustained body attack, and his "new found cleverness".

    I suspect Charles would have whipped Jeffries like a red headed stepchild.

    So in a year ,from fighting Fitz and being hit at will and looking like a novice,Jeffries discovered this new found cleverness?
    You don't think the fact that Corbett was totally washed up , and hadn't fought in 3 years,flattered Jeffries a bit?

    Nothing but a guess, Jeffries by TKO 14th round, behind on the cards
