Fighters Are Ready
Experts who have been watching
both Gibbons and Dempsey in train
ing have expressed the OPINION that
both the champio9 and the challenger
are in fine shape. Many of them say
Gibbons appears to be lighter and
less strong than the champion, and
many criticise Gibbons for not hav-
ing heavier sparring. partners.
Others give Gibbons a fine chance
on the ground that Dempsey, for
natural reasons, cannot be as good as
he was four years ago or two years
ago.
Shelby was deep in mud again to-
day, after a heavy rain, and the pro-
motors of two rival rodeos in town
