10 Years. Fighting
No *. O.=Gibbons

st. Paul, June l5.-(By y. P)-
When Tommy Gibbons of st. Paul
enters the ring at Shelby. Mont,
July !. TO meet Jack Dempsey in a
l3-round decision contest. he will
carry with him rare boast for 4
fighter of his eXperionce-he has
never been knocked off his feet.
In ten years of his professional ca
leer, the St. Paul challenger has sue
cessfully withstood all efforts to
knock him out, or even down, while
he in turn has counted 80 knockouts
in his last "a bouts.
1t was back in 1913 that Tommy
counted his first knockout. flooring
Johnny Shaw in the third round.
For several years. Gibbons was
merely a successful boxer. and it vas
not until 1921 that he began to show
ponent down for the count. II vas
the start of his successful march 90
ward a championship bout.
Gibbons won 20 straight contests
via the knockout route. then was
outpointed by Harry Greb in L.
round bout in New York. in March,
1922. which went to Greb on the ref
erees decision and with it the light
heavyweight title Gibbons was striV-
ing for.
In the list of knockouts that pre-
coded the Grcb affair, there We're
such names as Al Reich. Tony
Melchcr. Clay Turner. Jack Herman,
Willie Meehan. and others who lasted
less than one round. Paul Sampson.
Jack Clifford, and others succumbed
to his driving punch in few rounds.
Since the Greb bout, Gibbons has
come along again Wit" more knock
cuts and decision victories. In his
last encounter he met Chuck Wig
gins, no mean portion in the light
heavy division, and Gibbons tioored
him six times before the referee
stopped it in the tenth round.
Financial reward, at least imme
date, had little to do with Gibbons
eagerness in signing with Dempsey
The title bout has been his ambition
for three years. and before he comes
into the money at Shelby, the paid
attendance will have to climb beyond
the 100000 mark. For his end.
Dempsey is assured of 100000, re-
