the nOlucr OF the heavyweight cndUl- |
pionship title, is Fitzsimmons, says |
On Eastern exchange. 1t is the ambl-
tion of the lanky fellow to once again |
sign himself champion of the world. |
He hopes to accomplish his purpose by |
a victory over Rubin and another |
match with Jeffries, believing that he |
will surely beat the California her
cules if they ever come together again.
It certainly behooves Fitzslmmons
to win over Kuhlin if he expects to
cut a prominent figure in future prize
ring events. Defeat to him will mean
his relegation to the ranks of the has
beens."
The training of Rubin, who is looked
upon as possible heavyweight cham
pion, is interesting. The big akron
giant" who has always shown more
or less nervousness in fight, displays
none of this timidness in his exercise
bouts. Since he has ben in training
at Bath Beach Rubin mas spared con-
siderably with Tommy West, Matty
Matthews and George McFadden. AL
though the three men mentioned are
smaller In statute and lighter in weight
than the Ohio boxer, all are hard hit
ters, and in their several bouts with
Rubin have tried hard to place Gus
in the land OF dreams and shadows.
None of them have succeeded in ac-
complishing his purpose and few of
them have been able to get by Rublin's
guard with effect.
In sizing UP the two fighters and
their chances experts have come to the
conclusion that Rubin is the more
scientific fighter, "Fitz" the better
slugger and harder hitter. They think
that victory will be determined very
largely on the amount of confidence
Rubin displays when he faces the
former heavywcght champion If
Rubin Is ut all nervous they predict
n quick victory for Fitzsimmons who
Is one OF the most cunning and exper-
fenced fighters In the ring today, but
should Rubin put mp II steady battle
the experts believe that Rubin will
win after n protracted contest.
