ton. however, is expected TO go through
a course of building PIP exercises which
will bring down the respective
weights near to an even balance. They
will therefore be the two heaviest
boxers who have ever fought for the
title.
In the matter OF reach the men are
practically evenly endowed. They are
both credited with reaches OF about
san inches. Through the body Will
lard shows larger than his rival, but
in chest expansion Fulton excels, be-
ing capable OF an increase of six inches
from normal, while Willard can ex-
pand four inches. In arm and leg
measurements the champion also has
the edge, but Fulton is of the deceiv-
ing type in these respects. and in his
sinewy build possesses great power
without accompanying bufges of mus
cles. The challenger will also have
an advantage in age, for he is at least
eight years younger than Wizard.
This advantage is expected to discount
many of the champions superior ply
steal dimensions.
The bout on July will marx Will
lard's first real battle since he gained
the championship from Johnson. The
Kansan, since acquiring the champion
ship, has consistently gone after the
fortune which goes with the title ana
has done no fighting In comparison to
others who held the title. His only
"a tive ring appearance was against
Frank Moran, the Pittsburg boxer, in
Madison Square Garden IN 1915, more
than a year after he won the title.
This bout was for ten rounds only,
and, as result showed, unequal. Will
lard's other boxing appearances have
been confined solely to exhibitions
with sparring partners as a part OF his
circus business.
Fulton, on the other hand. has been
boxing consistently. particularly in the
Last two years, when he has compiled
the greatest part OF his record. This,
II is expected, will give the Rochester
ptasterer an advantage over the cham
pion, for Fulton's competitive activity
will give him more than the average
share of CONFIDENCE enjoyed by a chal-
lenger against a CHAMPION. particular
ly II the champion has been active In
the ring.
1t will not be the first meeting be-
tween Willard and Fulton. They met
in a four-round exhibition in 1915 and
II has always been claimed since this
exhibition by Fulton and his admirers
that he scored n knockdown over VII
lard The champion steadfastly de-
MED this assertion whenever it was
brought to his attention.
