UNDEFEATED LIGHTWEIGHT
CHAMPION

NEW YORK. Sept. f4.-Taking !,
~ for granted that Luis Angel Fir
20 is game. pick him to win the
heavyweight championship OF the
world
Previously ] have expressed this
opinion and my friends hare told me
that ! am crazy. am entitled OF
course. to deny that. but ] will adj
NIT that am decidedly lonesome
and perhaps alone among 'the ex-
perts," who are few in even giving
the South American a chance.
My prediction is based upon what
I saw in both training camps. what
I observed In tho previous fights OF
both men and what I have learned
from long experience in the boxing
game as n worlds champion.
Frpo Is big and strong and he can
hit He has done everything that
was asked OF him and he did Just as
much in working himself Zip 20 tho
bout for the worlds championship as
Jack Dempsey did.
The only thing doubtful about Fir
20 Is bis heart" Everything de-
Ponds upon his willingness TO take
what he will have 10 take and come
back for more.
Dempsey blows quickly. He hasn't
the staying power that Firpo should
have. and, whilo the South American
may not outgame the champion. he
should be able 20 outlast him.
do not think that Firpo will quit

as Willard and Carpenter quit wher
they got the idea that they couldn'i
beat Dempsey. II he keeps on COM
Ing II will break UP Dempsey's game
and Firpe will win.
Dempsey is not the puncfer thai
he used TO be. He has sacrificed
power for speed and / still think that
he trained wrong. altho / hear that
he has done lot OF work in private
since ! saw him at White Sulphur
Springs
Dempsey Topped Willard seven
times In the first round OF the To-
ledo fight. and Willard was bigger
and heavier than Firpo, but am not
SO sure that he will put Firpo down
with the first punch that he lands
II he shoots his right hand a
couple OF times and Firpo does mol
fall. Dempsey will be up aaginst Il as
he will have TO wear down the South
American and in long fight Firpc
win have all the advantage.
Dempsey may win. but he will find
that Firpo's crude ways and his I'M
orthodox manner OF fighting may
turn out to be an asset instead OF the
fatal liability that 1t is being pointed
out to be.
Regardless OF the outcome. do not
think It will be a short fight. Firpo
Is not quick flnlsher. He depends
upon the slow process of beating
down an opponent. and, while Demp-
sey is a sudden stopper. do not be-
lieve that he will be able to bring
down Ffrpo with his best punching
In three or four rounds--if Ffrpo Is
game.
