~ NN - Armstrong he would have done lot
better. The Negro boy fought himself
FRANK 1t is likely that had the fight
gone five rounds longer Ambers would knock
Lou didn't himself for any of his punches for
few of his punches but despite this he cut Armstrong
pretty badly
'I was surprised" Dempsey said, "tha Armstrong slowed
the way he did OF he is busy sort of guy
throwing punches all the time only flesh and blood
Yeah, that's it, he's just flesh and blood Next time,
Ambers will whip him."
THE greatest guarantee of the honesty of the fight at
Griffith Stadium Monday night the fact that Jack
Dempsey managed the winner There not enough
in crowds the Of that which witnessed Bill Boyds
victory Billy Nchy to make Dempsey get off the trail
of honesty in sports Dempsey 100 per behind Boyd
in his effort to guide the boy to the peak The old cham
knows that his protege not ready for peak fighters
yet But Boyd showed three qualities, without which
fighter climb. He has good punch He has
fighting heart He take pretty fair punch.
He is inexperienced Witness his leading with his right
four times in the first round He became bewidered in
the second round furry of punches cut loose by Nchy "A
better fighter than the Russian might have knocked out
Boyd. Dempsey is picking who develop
for Boyd picking who put the sailor to the
test Boyd showed lot of boxing ability He slip,
sdestep and duck punches He counters FAST Dempsey
is going to teach Boyd how to Maybe that's
mistake either can or can't weave and mistake in
timing be fatal.
