H may be knocked out quickly, but he'll get the dough, and if he manages to stick the limit again} it will get him just that much more prestige and plenty of other fights. As for beating Dempsey he isn't conceded one chance in 600 by the leading boxing experts of the world. But sticking more than a few rounds with the Manassa Mauler is something to be proud of. Greb Does Some Talking Greb, who is fighting in Califor. nia, recently expressed the opinion that Tommy Gibbons is better fighter than Jack Dempsey and that Gibbons will stay the lmit | w. again with the champion if they | meet in a return bout. Greb then admitted that he was @ better fighter than Gibbons, While he reached his point in a| Toundabout way, Greb has always| maintained that he could beat Dempsey in a real fight, “Dempsey has used many fers to meet mi reb said. knows I can whip him.” Greb expressed the opinion that Wills would give Dempsey the hardest fight of any of the ghal-| lengers and that the champion could name the round and the| punch with Firpo. | EXPECT BIG SEASON FOR ROBERTSON “Iam banking on Charley Rob- | ertson to have a big year.
