Jeanette really leans right back at times. Then he's also pushing that jab out and effectively ties Sam up.
Great footage.

First time I have seen Jeannette....very impressive hand speed and boxing ability.

This is worth a bump.
These are two very skilled fighters. Both victims of Johnson...though he didn't fight them once he had the title I hear you cry.

When I watch footage from this era it always makes me think the mythical match ups between fighters from Langford's time and those from say the 40s onward don't really make sense. That's not a criticism either, just that the sport is too different.
