Jeffries Admits Munroe Did Not Merit Title Chance

Interesting read if it's legit.

Regardless, the fact that Jeffries chewed gum during the Monroe challenge probably says enough about how Jeffries regarded him. The fight was, I think, mainly motivated by vendetta, and because all the media rumours regarding his previous meeting with Munroe gave Jeffries hopes a defense would prove lucrative.

 

Jeffries hated Munro.

Munro was a pioneer in the art of trash talking for unmerited publicity, and Jeffries had little or no sense of humour.

Actualy, Jeffries likley had his sense of humor surgicaly removed at birth.

While the media bought into Munro's trash talking, Jeffries was the only person talking him down, despite his financial interest in the fight.

When the opening bell rang, Munro could no longer hide from the truth.

Any of this sound familiar?

Simple answer: Nope.

 

Any tenured champion has easy marks on his resume. This includes Ali, Holmes, Louis, etc. However it should be noted that Jeffries destroyed Munore in 2 brutal rounds. It was the lone stoppage loss in Munroe's career and he was in there with guys who can hit like Maher, and Sharkey. The destruction of Munroe is a fine example of Jeffries hitting power.

This fight happened partly because Munroe's camp lied to the press about a match where Munroe was floored a few times in a four round fight, and claimed that knocked Jeffries down, which according the primary source ( Bute Miner ) never happened.
