However, by one of the witnesses, 2. auccessfully defending his title as champion heavyweight of the world, John His Lordship-Have you any members Arthur Johnson, to give him his full hame, has clearly proved that he is a fine of the family hero! and fearless fighter. Since the days of Corbett no henryweight has shown any- thing like the boring ability of Johnson. He is a natural boxer and many think him the greatest defensive fighter the heavyweight class has ever known. As is known, Johnson is a giant of a an, and many bald the view prior to this Latest fight that it was the immense advantage which he had in weight and reach that had won him his previcus battles. It was therefore thought that when he found dimself up against as big a man as himself, such as Jeffries is, that he would meet his match. But such has not turned out to be the case.
It would appear that all along the coloured man has fancied his chance, for he recently stated that he would be surprised if Jeffries went more than twenty rounds. "I think," he said, I'll be able to put him out in less than a full score of rounds. No one has ever knocked Jeffries off his feet. I expect to win that honour and win before fifteen rounds are reached. Strange to say, it was in the fifteenth round that the white man was knocked out.
Jeffries, however, appears to have put up a stiffer fight than Tommy Burns, who, it will be remembered, went groggy in the 11th round against Johnson at Sydney last year and was knocked out by the nigger in the 13th round. Burns proved himself a scientific fighter but the coloured man had the advantage in height, weight and reach-so says a gentleman who witnessed the big fight in Australia-Es. C.M.]
