    Not sure I ever saw this before but this 1926 clip at least shows we footage starved fans that in theory both fighters knew how to jab to the body ...

    That's funny clip. Jeffries wasn't in great form after retirement, especially compared to him in his prime :)

    Sharkey and Kid McCoy both said immediately after their fight, that Sharkey's work to the body won him the fight.

    what one should notice in that clip ,is how well parrying and cathing punches and having the other hand free to fire shots is a lot more effective than high guards and really show you do not need a lotta head movement for defense.
