fight with a short-arm jolt to the jaw
Jeff's next fight of any importance
was with his old opponent Rubin.
After five rounds Rubin quit jeff
had learned too much for Rubin be-

Probably the greatest amount Of
punishment jeff ever took-and he
took a lot of it first and last-was in
his second fight with Fitzsimmons.
The fight took place in 1902. and Fitz
threw all his cleverness and strength
into the first three rounds Jeff's face
was badly cut by his blows. and while
Fitz was fresh, the champion looked
like a novice beside him. But he could

Just prior to his retirement JEFF
bought a four-round draw with Jack
Munroe at Butte. 1t was a stay-four-
rounds offer and Munroe stayed by
clinging to JEFF all the time. Munroe,
after the fight, claimed he had
knocked jeff down. AS matter Of
