"Kennedy was in fair shape, but pretty fat," the newspaper stated, "and it seemed as though he might have been better fit to fight the champion of the world had he weighed about fifteen pounds less."
	*In the ~~first round~~, Kennedy ~~didn~~'~~t run but stood~~ and ~~fought~~. Jeffries ~~landed some hard body shots~~ and Kennedy ~~landed a number~~ of ~~good jabs.

			:When Jeffries signed for his fight with [[Gus Ruhlin\|(Gus) Ruhlin]], it was with the understanding that he might engage in a series of four-round contests with aspiring pugilists who wanted the privilege of standing up before the champion of the world. These contests were limited to four rounds each and Jeffries said he would meet a few candidates for ring honors and would endeavor to stop them in four rounds (or forfeit $100).
			*The ''San Francisco Call'' reported the following on September 25, 1901:
			:A championship fight In miniature was the battle between Jeffries and Kennedy last night in the Reliance Club ring, Oakland. From the sound of the gong which sent the men together in the first round until the end came unexpectedly in the second round it was one of the prettiest exhibitions of boxing ever seen here.

			:Jeffries was in superb physical condition and fought throughout like a champion. Kennedy proved a great surprise to all the spectators. He stood his ground and gave blow for blow. In fact, he was the aggressor for the greater part, of the fight. The pity of it was there was no steam behind the blows he landed, and when Jeffries learned there was no sting in them he changed his style of fighting at once.

			:The crouching attitude was cast aside and he stood up, advancing quickly, irresistibly upon his opponent. Kennedy landed four hard blows on Jeffries' head in the first round, but the champion did not seem to mind them. He kept coming ail the time and for every blow he received he landed two. His favorite was a right to the body, each time just before they clinched. This seemed propelled as if by the force of a battering ram and looked as though it would go through Kennedy.

	The second in the ~~series~~ of ~~boxing contests between James J~~. ~~Jeffries, the champion of~~ the ~~world,~~ and ~~heavyweights of lesser importance will be decided at~~ the ~~Reliance Club, Oakland, tomorrow night~~. ~~Joe Kennedy will~~ be ~~the big fellow's opponent~~.		:The knockout blow was a wonderful one. It was give and take for two minutes of the second round, when for an instant the vulnerable point of Kennedy's chin was exposed. Jeftries saw his opportunity. His left glove hardly traveled three inches when it came in contact with Kennedy's chin. Kennedy was lifted clean off the floor and fell half outside the ropes. He was completely out while the ten seconds were tolled off and had to be assisted to his corner.

JEFFRIES MEETS KENNEDY NEXT
(San Francisco Call - Sept 23, 1901)

The second in the series of boxing contests
between James J. Jeffries, the
champion of the world, and heavyweights
of lesser importance will be decided
at the Reliance Club, Oakland, tomorrow
night. Joe Kennedy will be the
big fellow's opponent.

When Jeffries signed for his fight with
(Gus)Ruhlin It was with the understanding
that he might engage in a series of four round
contests with aspiring pugilists
who wanted the privilege of standing up
before the champion of the world. These
contests were limited to four rounds each
and Jeffries said he would meet a few
candidates for ring honors and would
endeavor to stop them In four rounds.

Under this agreement Jeffries met
"Hank" Griffin in Los Angeles last week.
He failed to stop him in the stipulated
time. As Kennedy is a clever boxer it
will require aggressive work on the part
of Jeffries to make him stop.
