Dempsey is also conservative in making pre-battle statements. He has been agked by practically all his visitors in how many rounds he would win and some of them |have been more pointed and have sought information whether {t would |be in the first or second round. | “Kirpo is a big enough fellow and fighters of his type do not usually go down in a round or two. I'm not making any guess about the round but I feel confi- dent that I will win,” he has said.
