Willard and Firpo Set for Dempsey Shot at Title
Fifty thousand fans are expected as former champion Jess Willard faces Luis Firpo in a high wattage showdown at Boyles Thirty Acres. Firpo, 26, relies on relentless rushes while Willard, about 40, fights defensively waiting for an opening. Weight and reach give Willard a size edge, but Firpo must press early to tilt the bout. Promoter Tex Richard warned of a near sell-out as Madison Square Garden opened ticket sales toward a $400,000 receipts target.
