Who'll win?

weight retired some months ago.
Kano is closer to Gibbons than a re-
calcitrant bunion and when he
speaks on matters touching on. ma
appertaining- to. the nose-busting
racket he is reflecting Gibbon's
uflnd.
If any one in the world Is quali-
llcd through actual experience to tell
whether Dempsey is better than
Tunney. or vice verse. that one man
is Gibbons.
Three years ago. out in the little
cow town of Shelby. Ment.. Gibbons
fought 15 rounds wills Dempsey and
was on his feet. in pretty good
shape. when the contest ended.
Last summer. at one or the bail
parks here. Gibbons went on against
Tommy and was knocked out for the
first limedn his long career: not
only knocked out but outclassed. The
bout uns actually one-sided.
Consider the facts: Dempsey
couldn't stop Gibbons. What's more
he couldn’t even score a. knock.
down. (And don't let anybody tell
you he wasn't trying. either.) 0n
the other hand. Tunney stretched
the Irishman and did so pith com-
parative eaac.
You'd think. then, that Gibbons'
pick would be Tunney. But It isn't.
Kane says Gibbons Is stringing giong
with Dempsey and not because of
any prejudicial feelings. It anything
Gibbons has a somewhat higher per~
sonal regard for Tunney than for the
champion.
"Gibbons simply has an honest
conviction that Dempsey is a greater
lighter than Tunney." says Kane.
“and he believes that ii the two
ever fight. which appears likely new.
Dempsey will win. Gibbons concedes
Tunney'a fine points as a ringnian
but preters to belieio Dempsey has
liner once."
Whether the bout goes the limit
or ends by a knockout. Gibbons pro-
dlcts Dempsey will be the winner.
This Is a rather unusual slant on the
situation. for most critics argue the
longer the bout lasts the brighter
Tuunoy‘s chances at Winning. This
on the presumption Tunney is the
better aer. '
Kano ya Dempsey is a much
harder pundlor than Tunney: des-
