Gibbons Roots Out Knockouts in Spokane Showdown
Tommy Gibbons, set to challenge Jack Dempsey on July 4 in Spokane, explains his four year emergence as a knockout artist after studying anatomy and adapting his style away from his brother Mike. He notes his left hand as the power punch and recalls only two losses by decision in three years, to Billy Miske and Harry Greb. Frankie Grandetta, Spokane’s rising star nicknamed The Sheik, travels from amateur to pro with a string of wins and a five bout Los Angeles series signed after a rapid ascent and a Pacific Northwest title at Portland.
