Jim Jeffries Say's He Was Behind Against Corbett

This is plain bull**** because Jeffries bet on himself to stop Corbett inside 10rounds something he admitted to in that link. Brady getting up on the ring apron and throwing Ryan out of the corner telling Jeffries he needed a ko to win isn't biased its an emphatic confirmation that Jeffries was behind in the scoring, something he himself freely admitted to .
Your'e full of it.

 

Your premise is that Jeffries took his time in the fight and that had it been scheduled for a shorter distance he would have upped the tempo.This is exposed as rubbish because Jeffries backers and himself bet heavily that he would stop Corbett inside 10rounds.Therefore he had a vested financial interest in stopping Corbett as early as he could it isn't rocket science.

Let's compare the fighters:

Jeffries was 25 years old having his 16th fight he weighed 218lbs.
Corbett was 33 years old having his 19th fight he weighed 188lbs.
Jeffries had fought a month earlier,a mis- match against John Finnegan.

Corbett hadn't had a fight for a year and a half.
Jeffries was unbeaten.
Corbett had lost his last 2 fights, being kod in one and on the verge of being stopped in the other when his second deliberately entered the ring causing his DSQ to save him from a stoppage defeat.
Corbett had not won a fight for 6 years, yes that's right SIX YEARS!
That was over a past it middleweight whose best weight was in the 150lbs's range , a middleweight who would have one more abortive fight after and then retire.
So Corbett is conceding 30lbs in weight,and 8 years in age plus he is coming out of a year and a half's retirement after 2 inside the distance defeats ,not having won a fight for 6 years, yet by Jeffries own admission
this man is in front at the time of the stoppage.

And this is one of Jeffries most celebrated victories?

Oh on Corbett taking Choynski and Jackson's punches without being stopped.
Choynski was a novice when he fought Corbett,whilst Corbett was sparring and training nightly as the instructor of the local AC.
Corbett was in his prime when he fought Jackson in a fight that occurred NINE YEARS EARLIER .
Corbett was 23 and unbeaten when he fought Jackson.
He was 33 had lost his 2 previous fights ,and was coming out of extended retirement when he faced Jeffries.
Spot the difference?

It's also likely that Jackson was slightly past his prime .

Iv'e produced Jeffries own testimony,and several contemporary fight reports.
You have produced JACK ****.As per usual.

Have I missed anything?

 

Mendoza has never provided a primary source to back up his statements since he has been here.

Prove I'm wrong? :huh The onus is on him to prove everyone else wrong,and that he will not do.:-(

 

Yes I know M, just reiterating how he thinks.:good

 

They didnt give Jeffries credit actually, he was panned for not finishing off Corbett earlier.As Jeffries says in the link I provided ,the press didnt take into account the fight that Corbett put up.
Corbett couldn't help but look better than he had against Sharkey who was all over him in their bout. Bottom line, Corbett had not won a fight in 6 years! Nor fought for a year and a half.

 

Never heard of a racehorse called Secrateriat, but I'm familiar with one called SECRETARIAT he won the triple crown in 1973.

I've shown links in which Jim jeffries himself says he was behind in the fight and that if he had not kod Corbett he would have lost his crown,a position that his manager William Brady agreed with .
Jeffries said Corbett was 2 rounds away from being champion.

I produced several papers that say the same thing.

Now you are implying with your race horse analogy, that though Jeffries was behind he was going to close with a rush .

You dont think Corbett's ****iness had something to do with the outcome?
Jeffries states so easily was Corbett outboxing him that he began to taunt Jeffries,and went for the ko.

Along with this we have to factor in that Corbett had not fought for a year and a half and was 9 years the older man he was probably slowing in the later stages.

Do you think Jeffries planned to be behind after 20 rounds?

If so,why would he have bet heavily on himself to win by stoppage in ten rounds if he did?
You have no answers ,only a ridiculous horse racing analogy about a thoroughbred whose name you can't even spell correctly.


Anyone else's argument would be totally discredited now, but yours isn't because you've never had any credibility to lose.

How desperately ridiculous are you?atsch
NB How you finish matters? Secretariat lost a couple, Sham beat him in the Wood Memorial,when he had an abcess on his lip ,[a defeat avenged in the Preakness when Secretariat broke the world record running a time of 2min and 24 seconds and winning by 31 lengths].Possibly the greatest race a thoroughbred ever put up.

Secretariat was also beaten at Saratoga.

Secretariat won:
Kentucky Derby 1973
Preakness Stakes 1973
Belmont Stakes 1973
Man O 'War Stakes 1973
Canadian International Stakes1973
Champagne Stakes1972
Laurel Futurity 1972
The Garden State 1972
Hopeful Stakes 1972
The Futurity1972
Sixteen races in total for $1,316,808 in prize money



In retirement the horse was put out to stud but was found to be afflicted with spermatogonia [immature sperm].The condition later righted itself.

I have a couple of his races on tape and two books with passages dedicated to him.
So Rainman , that's another subject I know more about than you do .:good
