JACK BRITTON
MADE FAV0R|TE
Benny Leonard Picks VEL
ter Champ to Trim Mike
O'Dowd on Friday.

Jack Butlon Will o1Ipo.ui Nike
O'Dowd in their eigat-round bout at
the Newark Sportsmen' Clug on
August -. writes Benny Leonard. the
lightweight king. He bases his opin-
ion on the fact that Brit,on Is d
clever, caEey boxer. one who knows
every angle OF the game and is 81
the top Of his rorm right now. even
though he has been actively engaged
in boxing for many years.
1t has always been my opinion
said Leonard, that barring aCCiden;s
really clever. scientific boxer will
triumph over the rugged. powerful
haTd-hitting but more slowly moving
fighter in bout OF this dura ton
Eight rounds isn't such a terribly
long time FOR a clever man like brI,-
ton to keep away from g fellow like
O.Dowd. Naturally. JACK Will have
TO do more than that IN order TO win.
He'll have TO pile UP points for him
self
'Britton is a snappy hitter. His
blows don't stun. but they 90 sting.
And he's the hardest kind OF a man TO
hit. He's always poised. ready TO
strike even a fraction Of a seconu
after he has parried, side-stepped OF
duCked a blow.
In my opinion. O'Dowd's only
chance to win is by a knockout. OF
course, one Of Mikes blows might
slow up BritIon to such an extent
that the wclter-weight champion
would prove easy for a wallop that
he could evade II he weren't hurt.
but from NY own experience 7 be
lieve that O'Dowd will be unable 70
get over a really telling punch in
eight rounds"
