    The Wikipedia entry says 185 pounds. Jeffries would’ve gotten his face ripped off.

    It was in 1925 too so Jeffries was well past his prime too.

    A good win for boxing and a hard “L” for PETA.

    I believe you meant to say a grilla.

    Jeffries vs. the Ape is nothing compared to Granny vs. the Giant Jackrabbit (which some misguided people in Australia refer to as a kangaroo). Sixty percent of all TV sets in the U.S. tuned in and it’s still considered the highest-rated 30-minute TV episode ever.
