How Close Was The Choynski V Jeffries Draw?

Watched this fight a good few times was very close could have gone either way

 

I had read that Jeffries should have edged the match and that the draw was maintained for gambling purposes. Now on this site I see conflicting reports on who won. What does Adam Pollock's book say on the matter?

 

Draw seems to have been a fair verdict in a close fight. Off my notes on the newspapers--

W. W. McNaughton--"Bout ended in a draw and Referee McDonald's decision was a just one."

Tom Sharkey--"Referee McDonald rendered a just decision."

Joe Goddard--"The Decision was just."

SF Call--"Choynski most assuredly scored the most points . . . and certainly had the better of the night's work."

I have no notes naming Jeff as getting the best of it, but I'm sure there must have been some.

Seems it was probably a pretty even fight.

 

I scored it even. There were loads of close rounds that could have gone either way.

 

Choynski has some good credentials for the lb4lb list

 

I just turn the sound down.
