New Book - In the Ring With James J. Jeffries

The front page of L'Aero 9th December , 1913 clearly states that the Jim Johnson fight was for ten rounds.
Hopefully the end of this old chestnut!

 

Do you have a scan or a place I can see it?

 

Thats a damn lie. I know for a fact that the full 20 rounds of Johnson-Moran DONT exist and neither does the complete version of Johnson-Willard. Nice try...

 

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

I was baiting Mcvey. He's a fool. This is why I said we have already been the fact that you have not seen the full 20 rounds of Johnson vs. Moran. I wanted to see him come back with junk, which is his MO.

I have seen almost all of the highlights of the rounds of Johnson vs. Moran, and its a close fight. There is a lot on Johnson vs. Willard. Most only see the early rounds and the ending, but in round 25 Willard really hurts Johnson with a body shot. Of Course Johnson can be seen vs. Kid Cutler in the legendary champions, landing his uppercut on cue vs a vs sloppy Cutler.

 

You were baiting me ,you coudn't bait a fish hook.

You have been caught out lying.

More grammatical errors , underlined ,no improvement there then.

Johnson was 35 years old when he defended against Moran,and 37 when he fought Willard,"Willard really hurts Johnson ",and it was only the 25th round.atsch

 

Hey dolt, you misspelled couldn't . I prove you wrong plenty, and as I explained we both know I have seen a lot more than you have. I laugh in your face. Now shut your pie hole or I'll crush your man love on Johnson by posting some of his fight reports.

 

Matt,

Mike of the CBZ says it was 20 rounds. Here's an article on the fight. By the looks of it, we should have had a new champion. There is no mention of the scheduled rounds.

CBZ had this to say about Johnson.
"possibly the best heavyweight who ever fought"
"a master of defence"
"allmost flawless in all other aspects of the art of pugilism" .
Should we accept this ,as you accept the Johnson fight was 20rds?
What do you say, Mendacity?
Got any more lies for us?

 

apollack leans to viewing Jeffries-Finnegan as a non-title fight. I've always thought Jeffries gets uncalled for guff, now days, for having a tune-up fight. He'd already met the outstanding challenger (Sharkey) and had contracted to fight Corbett. It's not like he was fighting Finnegan to duck anyone. Jeffries just wanted some work and a little spending money, and got steamed when Finnegan punked him about his gloves. Well, that's how I see it.

 

mattdonnellon thanks for the newspaper citation regarding Johnson-Johnson.

 

I wouldn't count on it .not with the Johnson hater on this forum .

 

Jeffries had fought Sharkey ,and would fight Corbett after Finnegan ,,he was entitled to an easy one , but this was a foregone walkover.
Has anyone had worse credentials when challenging for the heavyweight title?

 

The paper clearly states it was "a ten round affair".
If the fight was shortened as you have allways maintained ,why was no mention made of it?

 

Do you mean L'Auto?
