Does make me want to search the AP channel for more boxing. Too bad they aren't better labeled.

Enjoy....

Thanks! Great Stuff !

I didn't realise that Jeff was declared 'brain dead' by his sister in 2014. Before that, nobody seemed to know where he had gone. Shavers and Holmes had some great stories about him. Jeff was a ferocious hitter but not too good at taking it. He didn't care for training too much either and often drank his favourite brand of cough medicine for breakfast!
