Please do not put words in my mouth, I have no trouble speaking for myself. I have NOT stated AT ANY TIME that there was NO LOW BLOW, what I have done is produce a primary source that states there were conflicting opinions on whether a low blow was landed,and if there was ,that it was intentional. Now, to WHAT YOU DID, YOU ORIGINALLY STATED THAT JOHNSON FOULED OUT WITH MULTIPLE LOW BLOWS , BECAUSE HE WAS IN TROUBLE AND IN DANGER OF DEFEAT. NO POINT IN YOU DENYING THIS ,BECAUSE I WILL TAKE THE TROUBLE TO TRAWL YOUR POSTS AND PROVE IT. That is cynical manipulation of facts ,and worse ,it is intentional LYING . Anyone interested in finding the truth of this can easily go back through both our posts and see who is telling the truth ,and who is mendaciously twisting facts for his own warped, hate agenda. 1. I have shown ,via primary sources that Johnson won the first round handily and was in control of the second when the alleged foul occurred. 2. I have shown, via a primary source, that if the foul occurred it was accidental. 3. I have shown via primary source that IF there was a low blow it was a SINGLE BLOW ,and not ,as you contend, multiple low blows. To refute this , you now need to produce a PRIMARY SOURCE that contradicts this. N. B. Jeannette's " enhanced account" of this fight ,whilst he was angling for a title shot against Johnson is NOT A PRIMARY SOURCE. . I've put most of the relevant bits of my reply in caps because I know you have difficulty grasping responses. I await your response with interest.
I would always go with the primary source nearest to the event, but then you don't exactly have a good track record when it comes to accepting the most direct source.
Every source i've read indicates johnson was battering jeannette before knocking him out at which point it was deemed the punch could have been a foul. It seems like a fitz v sharkey type fight to me as there's more evidence to suggest it was a ko than vice versa.
Even if one were to give credibilty to this report,and the assertion that Jeannette was fully 4 inches shorter that Johnson , [5'8 1/4 " ] rather casts doubts on it's veracity, the report says Johnson delivered A FOUL BLOW NOT MULTIPLE FOUL BLOWS, as you originally stated. You also originally stated Johnson fouled Jeannette deliberately because he was in dnager of losing. Since Johnson had never lost to Jeannette in multiple fights, what would have been his motive for deliberatedly fouling Jeannette? He was surely in no danger of defeat as it was only the middle of the second round and your report states he was busily raining blows on Jeannette whom he had trapped in a corner. Jeannette by the way ,was involved in another similar controversy against McVey , McVey dropped him ,but Jeannette claimed a foul which McVey disputed vociferously, opinion was again divided, some said there was a foul, some said Mcvey should have been awarded the fight by a stoppage win. I've allready posted a ringside report that directly contradicts this offering, so no need to do so again. Please produce your source for these "quotes"
