! champ would have gone 20 rounds
I as easily as r.
The original idea that the cham
Z pion could not travel the distance
route owing 70 his aggressiveness in
the first two rounds had its in
I cipiency In the battle with willard
Tor the heaTvw eight title Jack mt
on such burst Of speed in that
initial stanZa that the skeptics in
sisted he was given stimulants after
the first stanza by manager Jack
hearns and insist that he could not

shot ns Jack had the erchumpion
in such a bad condition at the
time that Willard could not have
gone another minute. II was a
job well done and that was
enough. In his match with

This contest alone is ample proof
that Dempsey was simply working
of the outcroppings Of enthusiasm in
the first round OF the Willard engage
ment and that his nervousness was
due to suppressed excitement To
win a Championship, hop out Of the

did Fancy a man inheriting a mill
lion dollars and then telling him a
minute later that he VIII have to
work some more for it. II has the Z
same effect imagine OF throwing a I
bucket Of ice water upon a marathon Z
racer and it is small wonder that he /

at Willard in an attempt TO end the /
bout
