We know who won their 1909 exhibition match. Smith knocked Johnson's down and made him see stars to the point where Johnson's manager had to halt the match. Smith was green where this happened. In 1912 he would a lot better and more experienced where Johnson would fatter, slower, and older.
Smith via TKO. Check who he beat in 1912 and 1913. That's why Johnson avoided him.

Before you were calling it an "execution match" or something like that.
Can you confirm that it was only sparring and Johnson was down for no longer than 4 seconds...? Sparring.Ivich likes this.

I picked Smith's best year on purpose.

I posted the match many times. You pick and choose what you like. He was down and dazed. The match was halted. Got it?

I don't remember "down and dazed." I remember Smith saying he was down a few seconds.

What you have is ONE report.I could produce 3 other ringside reports of the spar that do not even mention a KD,in fact I did just that this very week!
I also named the sparring partners and how many rounds they worked with Johnson.
But you continue with your hate campaign,it damages nobody but yourself!travestyny likes this.
