    Sooooo

    I'm studying Jefferies and came across the article "inside those ropes" from the Saturday evening post and Jefferies states "that first fight don't show in the record books either" when referring to the fighter named "hank griffins" which is obviously a well known fighter.

    On box rec, it sates Hank Lorraine was his first fight? And Hank Griffin being his 3rd?

    He fought Griffin twice, so it must be accurate? What I'm saying is, according to Jefferies, he fought Griffin as his first fight, but the other 2 documented Griffin fights would have been a trilogy. Which means he wouldn't have, because he would have said he fought him 3 times. Its would be very hard for a boxer to forget any trilogy of fights.

    Do you think in the article Jefferies himself got it wrong? That actually it was Hank Lorraine?

    Also, does anyone know how many fights of Jefferies were filmed?
