weight. who is acting as one of Jack
Dempsey's sparring partners. being
bu the champion's payroll for 8125 a
day. is predicting the fight will go
the lull ten rounds with his boss
winning on points.
Burke is well qualified to pass
judgment on both Dempsey and the
challenger. Geno Tunney. Burke
has served as Dempsey's sparring
partner three dliierent times and has
probably boxed more than 100
rounds with him. while in 85 rounds
of actual fighting against Tunney.
Burke was never knocked down.
Burke says. Dempsey is still a
good lighter. although he is not hit-
ting as hard as he was three years
ego. “This isdo be expected.’ ’adds
Burke. "You can't remain out of
active competition and get better.
Dempsey is no exception. Just the
same he is still a knockerout. with
a dynamite cap in either hand that
is liable to go off at any minute.
Tommy G l bb o no demonstrated
that it is possible for a. boxer to es-
cape the Dempsey knockout." says
Burke. "and Tommy wasn't the man
in power or punch that life bigger
and stronger Tunney will be this
year."
Burke's slzeup of the fight is thpt
Tunney will not take any undug
chances. depending largely on coun-
ter punches and boxing ability to lay
up points. With Tunney fighting
that kind of a. fight Burke doesn't
think Dempsey can knock the ex-
morlne out.
