Gibbons Seeks Dempsey Challenge Amid Doubts
New York December 30 Tom Gibbons renews his bid to fight Jack Dempsey but boxing circles doubt a small heavyweight like Gibbons can topple the champion. Analysts note Dempsey’s faster, harder punching has dominated bigger men, while Gibbons’ defensive mastery could pose a puzzle if matched with the right speed. Meanwhile Carpentier’s performance against Dempsey is cited as proof Dempsey’s reach and accuracy matter most at close range. Eddie Shev Fein of Roxbury wins a technical knockout over Ray Prye in Lynn.
