The mere fact that Dempsey is
hitting harder than he has been
isn't OF great importance. He always
has been able TO hit plenty hard
enough TO win a fight.
Has Spoetcd Up
But the important fact learned
In donning the mitts with him IL
that he Is speeding up his punches
and that he Is far faster on his feet
than when he won the title. He
strikes from the body. without wait
ing to draw back his arm, and he
gets an amazing amount OF steam
into these short blows. Few open
ings ever appear these days with
out the champion being able 70 get
his fist into them.
This speed is going to be a won
