SYRACUSE- HERALD:) FRIDAY EVENING-, .FEBRUARY 4, 1921'.BRENNAN EXPECTED TO DEFEAT BENEDICT BY KNOCKOl/Benedict BoutStepping Stone to Bigger Things, Says Bill BrennanPredicting I\. 0. Over Foe of Tonight, Chicagoan Seeks Match With Carpentier, Another With Dempsey.AH attendance records at a boxing bout In Syracuse promise to be broken tonight -when Big Bill Brennan 01 Chicago climbs into the ring to meet AJ Benedict of Brooklyn in a 15-round bout.The pair fought once before. Brennan winning in eight rounds, Benedict has the alibi that he jumped into the ring on two'days' notice'. He also claims that he lias greatly Improved in the three years which have passed since the reverse at the hands of Brennan.Brennan, who is about tile most confident man in the ring, following ills showing against Jack Dcmpsev in Mew York, is predicting he will land, a K. O. punch on the Jaw of Mr. Benedict and local fans are inclined to believe that Brennan can do it.Brennan has been knocking men right and left since his match with Dempsey. He has been fighting all over the country, performing in Augusta. Ga.; Dallas. Tex.; Memphis. Tenn., and Buffalo before coming here.WANTS ANOTHER DEMPSEY BOUT He has two ring ambitions, the firstbeing a return bout with Jack Dempsey and the second a match with Georges Carpentier.I know I can beat Carpentier, Brennan today. Of course it miv be in bad taste to say that I think I can beat Dempsey in view of what recently happened to me in my New York bout with him but nevertheless I think I can do it.I am going to go along plugging my way through the ring meeting ana beating them all as fast as they come, fighting before any recognized club that offers anything like a good guarantee. Will K. O. Benedict.I think I am going to knock out Benedict tonight. At any Tate I am going to hand him one beauty of a licking and I will be the most surprised man in the Arena if he stays the full distance.My training in the future is going to be two or three bouts a. week. I am going to do just what the old timers did.Dempsey's Problems.Sir. Dempsey has two big tilings in mind just now. One is Sir. Carpentier and the other is Sir. Willard. After he disposes of that pair to bis satisfaction. and he surely wlu, he will have another problem ahead, and you can tell the world that the third problem will be the. biggest one of all. ■ And that third problem is none other than yours truly. Sir. Bill Brennan. f'When the Dempsey-Brennan match | was made a few of the New York sport scribes took it lightly.It was a set-up for Sir Jack, they thought. But Jack knew different. He had had six. rounds of me once before until I broke my ankle and he knew it is no soft time ahead.Jack Was Worried.” ,If you saw the bout or the motion pictures you saw Dempsey's face before the bout. If there ever was such a worried expression on anyone's face 1 want to know. Jack: won't wear it when he climbs between the ropes for Willard or Carpentier- He knows the difference.‘I have been told that the judges in the New York bout, although each was; unaware of what the other had done, i had actually given me credit for winning nine of the 11 rounds in the bout with Dempsey until he landed that blow the twelfth round that put me out of the running.Not Unconscious.It was not a clean knockout, the pictures once more coming to my rescue In this respect. I was conscious and aimed to get up at tile count of nine.referee said he had counted 30 and I was out. The referee knows. At any rate. Bill Brennan is not a welchcr.It was a dandy blow which sent me down. I lost.But I want Carpentier and I can beat him. I want Dempsey again and think 1 can beat him. 1 am not thinking of Willard because, well, when I was a little fellow one of the things my family insisted 1 should have was respect for old age. I have that and that makes me pass up -Willard in my thoughts. Let Dempsey lick him and then I will have it out with Dempsey.The Benedict bout tonight is just one • of several stepping stones which will lead to my return bout with Dempsey. I must win them all by knockouts. 1 must show the world I have the class. Therefore you can look for Mr. Benedict taking a nap.Benedict Not Worried.Benedict has decidedly different ideas I on the subject. Ho has trained faith-' fully for the bout and is In fine condition. it will be remembered that; Benedict asked to be matched with] Brennan rather than Charley WclnerS. I saving he would rather meet a slugger than a 1-oxer.Claude Tibbetts will o-ct *s referee of the bout, which will be preceded by three six-round -preliminaries.Tonight’s Boxing Card to Include Thirty-three RoundsThe complete card of boxing bouts for tonight's card at the Arena is as follows;Six rounds—Patsy Michaels vs. “Spike” Sullivan, S:30 o'clock.Six rounds—Kid” Brady vs. -Matty Haley of Geddes.Six rounds—Sam Wilbert vs. Roy Manley.Fifteen rounds—Bill Brennan vs. A1 Benedict.Referee—Claude Tibbits.
