The Washington times., 1935-06-25

BY all odds, Primo Camera
the massive Italian is the one who
is on trial because if he drops be-
fore the cannonading of the sleek
Detroit brown boy Camera will
come tumbling down in a fright
full crash from the golden heights
sought by every big fighter in the
world.
To lose would mean that Car
nera must begin all over again
and right now few men in the
world have a better right to fight
for the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship. It's the dispute which
Joe and Primo must settle.
Thousands of dollars will be
carried into the ring on the
Italians broad shoulders, hard
earned, some easy-come, most of
it the coin of gambling demons,
all wagered there his astounding
size will stand him in God stead
against the binding hitting of the
soft spoken boy from Detroit.
That is the dainty fistic dish
which the Twentieth Century
Club, Mike Jacobs and the milk
fund, will set before the fans.
Pin Faith on Bulk
Followers of Camera are pin.
ming their faith to the premise
that his superman bulk will be
a milestone the kid from Detroit
won't be able to tote. Manv of
Joe's friends are Netting that he
will win with a quick knockout,
or are prepared to hedge, back
ing Primo to win on points at
the end of the 15-round route.
I pick Louis to knock out the
giant, despite all the chatter
about big Primo's size, his tree
like arms, his long left or his
Dear-llke strength. I think that
the first of his everyday boxing
mistakes which the big fellow
Will make tonight will find him
spraying on the floor. It might
END IN the first, might 60 three,
but not past the sixth.
Primo did make these mistakes
IN training. has made them be-
lore, the most glaring one being
his tendency to run at his man
with right lead, the horror of
all old timers who study boxing
from tooth to nail. Primo was
running at his spar mates I'm at
the lake just as man would
approach you with the offer of
d cup OF coffee. Atrocious LAPSE
IN good defense and one which
Snarp-shooting Louis will turn
into utter ruin for big Primo if
ne makes the same tonight
Inc other day I asked Joe what
ne would do if Primo came at him
WIN both arms outstretched for a
general bunny hug. OA "
He wouldn't be able tn prob
me with his hands held together
like this" and Louis held his
own two arms extended in front
of himself, but with his fists
four or five inches apart.
DRESS HIM UP FOR HOOK
HE would have to reach ont
IKE thlS-armS far apart, Just
like ne was going to put his
arms around the trunk of a tree,
wouldn't he? Well, I'd be inside
working on his ribs and heart
the first time he did it, and I'd
dress him up for a left hook
that would put him down.
He isn't going to miss grab
bling for me because I'll feint
him into doing it even if he for
gets to do so. Then I'll dress
him up-dress him up for a
punch on the jaw and down
he'll go. He won't be getting up
as often as he did with the
other boys. I'll see to that"
So much FOR Joe Louis opinion
Of what he will do if Primo tries
to make his great hugging
strength count. We will move on
to the argument that that giants
bulk will be too much for Joe to-
carry around and that he will
tire.
Dempsey was a 1873 FOUNDER at
Toledo against Willard, larger
than Primo in every respect and
a far harder hitter.
