During 1881 , Peter Jackson worked at Killara Greengate Hotel & the fruit orchards nearby , in Sydney Australia and had his first pro fights in Bert Oldfield Park in Killara in 1882. You can visit these places today in 2019..
No he did not ....it was a draw after 61 rounds..considering white fighters we're always given the benefit of the doubt in close matches by the judges in 1882..one would have to assume Jackson more than likely got the better of Corbett (who by the way was a great champion) for the judges to call it a draw. Jackson dominated the early rounds, Corbett in the 25th round mounted a vicious assault and almost had Jackson out..but Jackson rallied back, at this point each warrior had figured out the others style and neither got the best of the other the rest of the fight. each fighter had there moments but nobody whipped anybody...after 61 rounds...the judges decided to call it a draw.Which speaks very highly of Jim Corbett..who when most fighters like Sullivan refused to fight black fighters..Corbett stepped up, and like the champion he was and fought a great fight..I enjoy a robust debate over legendary boxing greats but you should at least get your facts straight...if your comments are to be taken seriously
@@FighterGlory No credible boxing historian supports your false claim that Corbett whupped Jackson.....but they all support my facts that it was a draw evenly matched.. which is historically documented..by experts Corbett from what I understand did however break Jacksons ribs ...and in my opinion Corbett was the better, more craftier boxer, while Jackson's style was more aggressive....less tactical..but its pointless to continue discussing this with someone who doesn't know shit about boxing..just rambling and trolling seeking to serve their fantasy agenda
@@FighterGlory Show me proof.of your claims .I'll wait..and the only thing petty was you watching a video that honors a Black fighter and try to discredit his achievements with false claims... You could have said something positive about Jackson and Corbett both but you chose to push your supremacy initiative..with a false narrative..that you know is not true....I see thru you
