Sharkey had two ribs broken in that light
and Vas taken e. hospital. while Jeurtes

and adherpnts
When Referee Silsr gave the fight &
Jefries there was - howl ~ protest, q

bounced the ruling a. rolbcry.
This fight took place eleven years agn.

and IL a better ring general. For that
reason they ara prsdiCting that Jehrte-
will not be able 70 score a Knockout, II he
wins that way. until long after twenty
Ave rounds have ELAPSED. in which event
johnson may have a chance IL win be-
cause of greater endurance.
An important fact that must not be
overlooked ~ that Jefries has beaten
every man that has come T. MIN. His
strongest point has been patience. He
has set himself as opponents lke fitz-
simmons, SllRrkey, Corbett. Rubin and
others have bored in and has beaten
them down with tremendous counters.
