Second: He attacks furiously and relent- leasly, so that he keeps the other man busy defending himself, Yesterday I had a letter from Walter De Baun, who was a great friend of Jobn L, Sullivan in his early days, and he was onc of the most skilful boxers of Sullivan's time. Walter wrote that he has seen Dempsey fight often, and that Dempsey is an almost exact duplicate of John L. Sullivan at the age of twenty-four, when Sullivan was knocking out all opponents Sullivan never had a cauliflower egr or a scar to show for all his hundreds of bard fights. His attack was so furious that the other man never had a chance to use Sullivan as a target. My recollection doesn't go back to Sullivan's day, but Dempsey reminds me of Terry McGovern, when Terry's furious attacks were too much for George Dixon, Pedlar Palmer and other fast and clever men, ern, Dempsey goes close and hits fast and hard until something drops, McGovern, like Sullivan, never had a scar to show after any fight; attacks were his defense, Jess Proved in Johnson Fight He’s Not Easy to Hit. 1 have heard it said by men who ought to know better that Willard Is I saw Willard play safe through twenty rounds with Jack ohnson at Havana, blocking or avoiding nearly all of Johnson's desperate blows and waiting until the big black champion was too arm weary to be dangerous. Any man who could do that had a nearly perfect deferise, Willard is an unusually intelligent man, and no doubt he has studied the fighting style of Dempsey as carefully as he studied the ringcraft of John~ In that twenty-six-round fight I saw Johnson land just three dam~- aging blows on Willard, and all were in the first seven rounds fought. Jess says this broke three ribs, He hit Willard a practically placed left hook on the chin in the seventh, and as his head swung over caught him with a right swing clear That blow, Willard claims, broke his left cheekbone, Like MeGov- easy to hit.
