Let him make the best of it.
Heeney Victory Unlikely.
I like Tom Heeney, and I like the
men handling him. I'd like To see
him win. But / don't think it's on
th4 cards. There are those who
think Heeney's great heart. coupled
with his ability 10 take it, will win
for him. l doubt it.
Remember Sharkey can take as
much punishment as HcfneN. ANA
he can give whole lot more. SharkeE
is the harder, surer hitter. He is the
faster hitter and the faster man.
When il comes 10 strength. perhaps
they are equal. Their measurements
show them to be almost the same
weight. There's only a slight advan-
tage in Heeney's favor.
Sharkey offsets this with advan-
tages in height and reach. Heeney is
chunkier. but Sharkey is more the
boxer build As a matter OF fact, II
looks 10 me as if il is merely Ques-
ton how much punishment Heeney
can take in the twelve rounds.
Heeney Is no Dempsey when il
comes TO punching, not by a long
shot. And as Heeney has been
training his blows for the head. it's
rea sonabIe to believe he won't entirely
change his tactics in the actual battle
and confine his attack TO the body.
Sharkey's Skill Established.
Even Dempsey's faster and harder
punches didn't find Sharkey's head or
Jaw until Dempsey had brought
Sharkeys hands down To his sides
with body punches. And Dempsey
landed that last left hook TO the Bos-
ton mans jaw when Sharkey was
