that confidence
But there is always the chance"
and in Gibbons hands that prospect
brightens for many. And if there
is not confidence, there is hope, and
that alone will attract hundreds from
here to the fight. Victory for Glib
bons. however. would be a surprise
in his home town.
All of which does not detract from
the ability of the challenger, for the
homefolk hold the view that no one Is
better qualified to test the merit of
