Show AL PALZER REAL i FOE FOR-JOHNSON I tBy Tom O'Rourke. Famous Riug i Promoter and Now Manager of Al Palzcr ) ! Al Palzer is rushing up the pugilistic pugilis-tic horizon toda as the real and only r-uccessor to Jack Johnson. He is a physical marvel and needs only a Utile Ut-ile more expcrlenco to round Into ihe greatest fighting machine tho world has ever Been. I long tried to get a match for Pal-ber Pal-ber with Johnson, but the negro al-, ways evaded it. Now, In flew of the, notoriety attached to Johnson, I do not expect an club would stage him Hc'o Sure of Al. ' I shall not claim the title for Pal. I er (as I suppose a lot of pugilists I ind their managers will do), but I will match him against nil of the best men In the world In the elimination battles bat-tles nnd I know Al will come home Ihc winner. I have handled scores of fighters in my time, but none of them have had all the qualities Palzer possessqs. His 240 pounds of bono and muscle are well distributed over his six feet throe Inches of frame He has a nunch even more powerful than a mule's kick and he can stand up under un-der punishment and comes back stronger than any man that ever stopped IufWo the ropes. His Last Ten Flghte. s Tnis is evidenced bv th history of Palzer's ten ia.t flghis He won every ev-ery one of them o'sht by knockouts Ho was pitted against some of th" lenders of the "white hope" class, too Pnlze'-'s rTefonse Is almost impreg-nnblo impreg-nnblo and tho few weak spots in hi? npr-or will s.0011 be cohered up A lit He morn practice and fxporlenue will turn tho trick beautifully. When I disfoiored Pabnr'l felt at nncp that he had a wondorful future Events happening since have borne out mv opinion Tho Isd Js "only 23 nnd has reen ortnnljv fbht nir but 1 month;. In another vear h -5111 havo reached hte prime but he Is of such I magnlllccnt callLer that It will Ik. many years beforo his star is dimmed, j according to my deductions all thl3. j of courso, providing he continues to live a clean II to. ' Wanted Him to Meet Johncon. ! It will alwajs be a source of regret i lo me that Palzer could not meet i Johnson. Such a battle would convince con-vince the most skoptlcal, bovond the i shred of a doubt, that Palzer was Jolmaon's superior. I am confident that within a vear Palzer by his showing against o'ther j heavy welghtp, will demonstrate nmi.c as well that he is the greatest fighting fight-ing machine history has vet seen not only the chnmolon battler of now. but 1 of all other time. |
