Long overdue - Well done Trump. Jack Johnson's story is one sad, sad indictment of the abhorrent manner in which White Power treat Black people back in those days. (Reuben 'The Hurricane' Carter's story is closer to today but equally as horrific. )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Johnson_(boxer)
He lived to the age 68 Born on March 1878 OLDER James J. Jeffries fights Jack Johnson in 1910 [The fight took place on July 4, 1910, in front of 20,000 people, at a ring built just for the occasion in downtown Reno, Nevada. Jeffries proved unable to impose his will on the younger champion and Johnson dominated the fight. By the 15th round, after Jeffries had been knocked down twice for the first time in his career, Jeffries' corner threw in the towel to end the fight and prevent Jeffries from having a knockout on his record. Johnson later remarked he knew the fight was over in the 4th round when he landed an uppercut and saw the look on Jeffries face,] [The "Fight of the Century" earned Johnson $65,000 (over $1.7 million in 2017 dollars) and silenced the critics] Last edited by arista; 24-05-2018 at 05:48 PM. |

Yes Real Proper Hard Boxing. Lennox Lewis was so happy with Actor Sylvester Stallone standing behind seated President Trump. Ref: CNN HD live https://edition.cnn.com/2018/05/24/p...ump/index.html Last edited by arista; 24-05-2018 at 06:36 PM. |
