    Mendoza has stated that Jim Jeffries was ,"likely tied or leading" in the first Corbett fight prior to the ko.
    Here in Jeffries OWN WORDS, are his recollections of the fight.

    His own manager ,William Brady sent him out for the ko, as he knew he was losing, he recounted this in his book.The Fighting Man ,shown below.
