Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Battles of Jack Johnson, Champion Pugilist of the World: Together With the Complete Records of John L. Sullivan, James J. Corbett, Robert Fitzsimmons, James J. Jeffries, Tommy Burns, Peter Jackson and Jim Flynn
Choynski in his home town. This battle brought his name before the public and after winning several battles in the Southwest he was taken to Chicago, where he continued to win and to show signs of cleverness. In that year he had three knockouts to his credit, as follows: Charley Brooks, two rounds; Horace Miles, three rounds, and George Lawler, ten rounds. This showed that he had a punch. The next year, 1902, he added six knockouts to his credit, and one of the defeated men was Jack Jeffries, a brother of the then champion, who had begun to show promising signs as a boxer, but he only lasted five rounds with the black man.
