    Was it Tom Sharkey? - something about one of Jeffries gloves coming off in a close quarters tussle/struggle and Jeffries getting that hand free and giving it to Tom with the bare fist as hard as he could go - ouch :!:

    Larry Donald? Depending on whether you think the psychological build up to a title fight is part of the fight itself.

    Give that man a cigar first time! :good
    The glove came off and Sharkey charged in, Jeffries cracked him.

    Cheers for the smoke McVey :good :hat (and cool name too - McVey was a badass)

    and I bet Sharkey just spat out a couple of teeth and kept charging too?! - that fight was dark ages stuff!! maybe only Dempsey-Willard was worse brutality? :dead
