Ffrpo may go to the floor several

punch and a lot of steam to keep
times. ss many as Willard did in
Toledo, Dempsey will become a very
tired young man.
Regardless of what experienced
SKIN and boxing he is said to lack.
Flrpo is a natural fighter with a pc
culiar and so far, a very effective
style. He has done everything that
was asked of him and has done 1t in
convincing style.
1t is n big assignment for him TO
go against the worlds champion and
the greatest fighter of the day with
out more experience. but. rs has
been pointed out. he is about as good
now as he will ever be.
Firpo has a good chance to beat
Dempsey. He has the BEST chance
of any of the fighters seeking the
championship. Willard quit cold
when he fought Dempsey in Toledo.
and his W density caused him to

Ffrpo is just as big as willard.
just as good as Willard, and no
doubt he has a better heart. He
at least. will fight back and he fights
his best when no is hurt and when
the going is bad against him.
In what they have shown in their
fights up to the present time, Demp-
sey iooks like he ought to win in
six rounds.
But Ftrpo can't be figured on what
has happened before, It's almost
sure that he will give Dempsey the
hardest fight the champion has ever
