jim Jeffrics needed only two
rounds to dispose Of Jack Munroc ut
San Francisco, August 20, 1904. Al
though Munroc more nearly approx
mated the champions poundage
than any opponent encountered up
to that time, he was helpless from
the outset Munroc weighed .l0 to
Jcffries' 2l9.
Referee Grancy was quoted as say
ing Jcffries had Munroc at his
mercy and could easily have killed
him.
Munroc picked out a hazardous
resting place in the first round when
he had sat down ON the lower rope
Of the ring. He slid from this un-
certain vantage point to the canvas
where he took count of six. Only
the bell permitted him to weather
stormy first round.
Strange TO say the challenger was
confident and even enthusiastic-bc-
fore the fight.

ed challenge with reservations. He
declared himself willing to fight any
one in the world except Jeffries.
