EGARDING Dempsey's “holdin up” at Shelby, Jack McAuliffe, the only retired undefeated cham- pion, has some interesting views. “While I did not see the Demp: Gibbons fight, I do not believe that Dempsey would pull his punches and hold Gibbons up for 15 rounds. I was a champion once and I was proud of the title. It means much to @ champi to be Lew Tendler was} esteemed as the | © greatest man at his weight, and {t is| hard to voluntarily accept humil: tion to hold up an opponent that you ‘know you could finish any time you wanted to.
