Show BRADY THINKS CARPENTIER WILL BE NEXT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION - vv . ig , J ;; J "Carpentier, in my opinion, will be the next heavyweight champion of the world," said William A. Brady during dur-ing a chat the other day. "He surely will defeat Jack Dempsey in the big bout on July 2, and It will not surprise me if he turns the trick In less than three or four rounds. "Dempsey isn't so formidable as he was when he won the title from W 11-lard. 11-lard. He was comparatively slow when he boxed Brennan in Madison Square Garden. In the Frenchman he will meet a wonderful fighter the' greatest boxer since Jim Corbett's time. Car-pentier Car-pentier not only is scientific, but he is a powerful hitter and the quickest thinker in the ring today. "When those big fellows clash you'll find that Carpentier's clever defensive tactics will offset Dempsey's rushes and heavy blows. Jack will discover right at the start that he is up against the smartest antagonist he ever has tackled. It's the general opinion that Dempsey hasn't defeated a first-class pugilist and that each of his victims would have been pie for the European champion." Brady until recently was in partnership partner-ship with Tex Hickard and Charles B. Cochran in promoting the Dempsey-Carpentier Dempsey-Carpentier battle. He and Cochran withdrew, however, and left Eickard to act as sole manager of the mill. Brady knows the boxing game from every angle. He developed two heavyweight heavy-weight champions in Corbett and Jeffries Jef-fries and predicted their respective victories vic-tories over Sullivan and Fitzsimmons. ' |
