that I'm ''setup" for Dempsey.
If any one wishes to take past per

doing a bit of doping" then Dempsey
should prove to be a setup for me.
For didn't l knock out Gibbons, the
man Dempsey couldn't stop? | was
in front all the way in the fight; the
referee in the Dempsey.G Gibbons fight
has said that if the fight had gone
only ten rounds he would have been
forced to give the decision to Gibbons.
Dempsey has gained his reputation
as a ferocious young man because he
can slap over the big, slow giants.
That may be great stuff-hut l can't
string along with that idea. Jack
Dillon knocked out big men without
any more effort than Dempsey has
and nobody ever said he was a world =
champion. Tom Gibbons found the
giants easy: so did Bob F'itzsimmons,
Sam Langford and all the others. The
pigmy. Joe WOlcott. used to put his
l42 pounds into punches that knocked
out heavyweights.
SO Dempsey is not uniQue-nor
great-simply because he has knocked
out big men. It's about the easiest
thing a good hitter does in the prize
ring. I'm not a big giant. I'm just
about Dempsey's size and will be near
his weight. And that's going to make
all the difference in the world.
Dempsey can sock 'em into the big
men, but I say now he can't damage
men of his own size or men who are
smaller. And the reason is that his
style Of hitting makes it practically
impossible to do much damage with
his bows.
Dempsey hits upward with his
blows-not straight ahead. If the
target is high and the target is wide
and the target doesn't move. Dempsey
lands-and hurts.
But Jack Dempsey. with that pc
culiar hitting motion of his. Is not
great hitter. nor even an ordinary
hitter, if his target Is small and Is
inclined to shift out of range. Think
back over DempSey'S record and
you'll recall that when faced by men
Of his own size, or smaller. his swings
for the head generally have gone
over the top. And even his hody
leads have missed the mark, for in
stead of hitting into the stomach,
liver or heart sections, Dempsey has
landed on the chest.
Dempsey can whip big men-but he
can't beat those of his own size. I
haven't had much contact with big
men, but I've always whipped those
around or near to my own size and
weight. So long as that's been my
rule all through my fighting days. |
