Seeing as it's Xmas! Willard of the Johnson fight facing off against SMOKIN Bert Cooper of the Mercer brawl.? 12 rounds. 1915 rules and gloves.
Cooper rocks and hurts Jess in the first few rounds,keeps plugging away at his man. But durable and game, Jess percivies and rattles him with clubbing rights and uppercut s. Willard gets a decision but not with out being left slightly battered and bruised.
One thing for sure: If Cooper rocks him, he won't need 48 free shots punching down on his man getting up....
Cooper would be looking for a place to lie down as soon as he got in the ring. Jess too big, too strong. Cooper quits.
Let me tell you something son, Big Jess Willard never quit a fight in his LIFE!!! Except that one time...and that other time.
