  1. jack was one of the greatest champions in the ring and one greatest American out of the ring.a real F*"$ing American Johnson my personal opinion the best black champion ever

  2. When the narrator said, "25 rounds…" I almost had a heart attack, thinking these guys were monsters to even sign up for a fight that could potentially last that long.
    I wasn't sure I heard right. 25 is one hell of a large number. So I rewound it, and he said FORTY-FIVE ROUNDS, for the lubbagawd, not twenty-five!!! My jaw slapped my chest so hard that I'm now sitting here with a broken jaw and a collapsed sternum. I'm no expert, but maybe I should seek medical help now.

  3. I love how when Jack Johnson starts to maul Jefferies the camera never picks up on it. BWAAAHAHAHA

  4. this was fake as pro wrestling. that uppercut didn't even hit him… it was setup to cause race riots…

  5. When men were men!! That was supposed to be 45 rounds and you were allowed to hit your opponent as he was getting up. And that was the 15th round. Beasts both of them.

  6. These fuckers was so hateful and racist they couldn’t stand to see a black man Ko a white man 😂

  7. Jack Johnson pulverized wht boy. So much for the great white hope Lol. And at that time if Jeffries was only wht man that gave white ppl hope then they in trouble now. Jeffries fought like some one saw him on a corner trying to make money doin tricks. And a voice say hey kid you wanna a 100 bucks. (Sure) what I have to do. Just get in the ring with this big blk man and fight him. You won't get hurt. Few hours later Jeffries getting knocked through the ropes. Not once but twice.

  8. The white man had considered himself superior in EVERY WAY. This fight shattered that myth and sent racist whites into a wild eyed frenzy. And things haven't changed much today. Just look at the Capitol riots on January 6th. Not much has changed.👀 So sad. 🤦🏾‍♂️

  9. The fact that "journalist" Chris Lamb wrote some garbage piece on Yahoo regarding this story screams to me : "Let's keep up the racial divide" The fact that we keep digging up the racist past shows we have no intention on moving forward.
    Chris Lamb you should be publicly scorned for adding fuel to the never ending fire.

  10. Unfortunately, a segment of white people, perhaps with southern roots and DNA, still subscribe to the white superiority myth and entitlement to dictate how black people should act and think. We don't have to stand, bow down, roll over, show ID without cause, or explain why we're here and not there…leave us be.

  11. BETRAYER OF HIS RACE?!! JESUS! 😂😂😂

    Please, guys, NO ONE ASSOCIATE MY WHITENESS WITH PEOPLE LIKE THIS. I'm not from that disgraceful kind of "whiteness". They have their own kind of "white" 😂😂

  12. So, let's use common sense. One goes to Africa and brings back the strongest for labor and then let them only marry into the same gene pool of survivors. Jimmy the greek was correct, if you mix strong athletes together, you get strong offsprings. DNA. So, I am not surprised at all. This is an example that white people want to whitewash and say it never happened. Racism, is how America started. Maybe if the new generation knew the entire history, they might better understand the beginning how we got here. Start with the truth. Whites were never the majority in this country. Ask General Custer. I know a lot about the holocaust, and the nazi treasures that they stole from the jews was hunted down and returned. The slave masters stole our wages, this is what we are fighting for. The right to get our stuff back. I hope there is a God.

  13. Whenever these clowns claim they are the superior race, just ask them about Johnson vs Jeffries.

  14. Good for you my brother. You beat the breaks off that cracker😆💯
