He has a heart and he will fight back when hurt. He showed that in the Willard fight when, in the fitth round, big Jess knocked him groggy with a left hand under the eye. Tho South American is so green that he shows too easily the effect of al punch, but Willard was too timid about the right hand that Firpo had cocked and he stepped back and gave him the chance to recover Dempsey, of course, can beat Firpo's right hand with a left hook, as long as Firpo continues to telegraph the punch by pulling his shoulder back and his elbow to his side. \But Firpo fs not going to be knocked out with one punch, and perhaps he will take moro than one dozen punches before he is thru. much fury that Dempsey may have to assume tho defensty certainly be taking a chances if ho tries to counter-punch, In all his big fights, t has been shown that Dempsey can be hit.

Firpo has been saying that he wanted to walt another year, He had no fdeas like that until some coffee: spillers in the Brazilian lunch rooms told him he should wait for two years, and he belleved them. ‘Then, alxo, his desire to save a few dollars caused him to break relations with Jimmy DeForest, his trainer.
