Jack was a brother of the great Heavyweight Champion, Jim Jeffries; Mostly, he sparred with Jim and boxed exhibitions

Jim said that Jack was talented - fast and shifty - and could take punishment too; He could also dish it out when he wanted to; His real problem was that he didn't really take boxing seriously - his heart wasn't truly into it
