Dempsey Meets Sharkey In July Comeback Bout
By ALAN J. GOULD. Jack Dempsey, 32, returns against 25 year old Jack Sharkey on July 21. The veteran slugger faces a younger, crafty foe who relies on defense and stamina as Sharkey aims to outbox and outlast the Manassa Mauler in a bout likely decided by who breaks through first. Sharkey showed KO power against Maloney and may upset a fast, hard hitting Dempsey if the puncher cannot pierce the defense early.
