81 900 900 to view the bout through a
pouring rain,
Tunney still is convinced that he is
the Man of Destiny" so far as the
heavyweight crown is concerned. The
handsome champion, pronounced by
experts at his camp to be boxing with
more speed and accuracy than a year
ago, when he mastered Dempsey in
every department of the game. hopes
to remove all doubt about his ruler.
ship by scoring a knockout.
Dempsey in Fine Form.
Dempsey. also declared to be at
the peak of condition. from 80 to 70
per cent improved over his 1926 form.
is equally as sure OF putting the
crowning touch to comeback that
no cX-champion of the heavyweights
ever has achieved. Dempsey and his
adherents are confident that he has
rcGained his old punch, and the
"crusher" of his Firpo battle. They
declare him on fighting edge, as
result of his victory over Jack Shark
as we'll as more accurate in his punch
ing, than he was against the Boston
heavyweight in New York.
There seems no question that
Dempsey mentally and physically, Is
in vastly better condition than In
1926. But whether at his age, he
has come back far enough TO battle
on even terms or turn the tables on
the man who whipped him so de-
cisively IL months ago remains to
be seen. If Dempsey has improved,
so has Tunney. many critics contend
Even though Gene has been out of
action, while Dempsey's form has
had the sharpening benefit of the
Sharkey fight, the champion has been
constantly in training, leaving moth
ing undone to be at his best.
1t will take the battle itself to de-
terlnine how far Dempsey has called
back the old smashing endurance, to
settle whether his surging rushes can
penetrate Tunney's shift defense or
retain their momentum and punlshlng
power in the face of a jabbing, coun-
ter-punching defense that continually
Jared or threw Dempsey off balance
a year ago.
Jack Has Nothing to Lose.
1t seems certain, at any rate, that
Dempsey, free of the haraSsing al
fairs of last year and the sluggishness
that marked his appearance in the
ring. will throw all his once nightly
feared weapons into the conflict. The
bronzed challenger has nothing FUR
ther to lose and everything to gain,
most of all the title that he priced
so greatly and, possibly in 1928, an
ot her milliOn-dOllar purse.
These two modern gladiators are
fighting for stakes that were not
dreamed of even a decade ago. Tun-
ney, win, lose, or draw, will collect
the first million-dollar purse in prize
ring history while Dempsey will get
$3.50, 900.
Each will have received $1,000, 900
for the two most spectacular bouts
from a business viewpoint-in ring
history. Dempsey got the big end of
the purse a year ago, $750,000, while
Tunney got only 100000.
