More Information

Drew 'Bundini' Brown was Jeff Merritt's 'advisor' for 1973 and 1974.

Bundini came to Oakland on February 22nd ~ with Jeff, Don King and Richie Giachetti
for the March 4, 1974 bout against Henry Clark.

Don King wanted Bundini Brown along for inspiration, and to watch Jeff and 'stall' his late night
activities.

As Bundini Brown stated
"Jeff is his own worst enemy. He has all the talent in the World, as long as he keeps his head straight.
He has the potential to be a Heavyweight Champion."
