Gans Favored In Fine Condition For Sullivan Bout
San Francisco January 19 Joe Gans is the favorite in the betting for his Friday night clash with Mike Sullivan. Odds run 10 to 8 though Sullivan remains confident saying market prices are unreliable. Sullivan notes he often bets on himself and that being underdog has compensations. Gans is described in fine shape and determined to redeem his reputation with the public. Sullivan is praised for persistence and readiness to box, with a prior Baltimore meeting suggesting he held his own against Gans when both were well trained.
