That's probably more to stir up
interest than an indication OF
Dubs ability. But advance sales
indicate the largest crowd since
the Joe Louis-Abe Simon brawl
wear ago will be on hand tonight.
That's an veven better indication
of how the fans feel.
Dubs is the kind of a fighter
who. at his worst, will bring out
the best qualities in Robinson. At
his best he can, conceivably. put
an end to the invincibility of the
Negro puncher who was born, In
Detroit.
If Robinson takes the fight too
lightly. he'll be in for plenty of
trouble because this is the oppor-
tunity Dubs has been waiting for.
It's a quick step TO the big time
for the Duker of Windsor IL he
wins, but a long waltz with the

All the fighters will weigh in at
