Dempsey vs. Carpentier. Fresh eyes

I think Dempsey fought with a nonchalant attitude to getting hit. He didn't waste energy slipping and weaving in this one, he just walked Carpentier down, mauled him, and mauled him some more.
Even when Carpentier spun him half-round with a sharp punch or five, Dempsey just got straight back on track and marched forward, mauling and digging to the body, imposing himself.
A very confident and methodical performance from Dempsey, but arguably an unworthy challenger.

 

As you at least are aware U ,Dempsey was asked by Rickard to take it easy on Carpentier and give the crowd a show,when he put his foot to the pedal the fight was over.

 

You were a tad disputed? Dempsey was a very fast sprinter ,what makes you think his lower body was not very strong?

 

Dempsey at cruiser would be sensational.

 

It is accepted by boxing historians that Dempsey did not go all out in the beginning of this fight.
I don't care what you think, you would argue the sky was yellow if it boosted your argument!
When Dempsey fought Firpo, Rickard tried the same approach again, visiting him in his dressing room just before he went to the ring.Rickard pleaded with Dempsey to take it easy on the Argentinian,to give the crowd a show.Dempsey replied, nothing doing he isn't Carpentier, he might kill me with one of his wallops ,so go to hell!"
Dempsey did not have big legs, that is not an indication that they were in any way weak.The poster boy for skinny underpinnings was Bob Fitzsimmons,so thin were his legs that he regularly padded his tights with cotton.Fitzsimmons was unbeatable on the road! None of his many sparring partners over the years could compete with him he would grasp the back rail of a trotting sulky and run behind it for miles! Your Dempsey bashing exercise has fallen on stony ground ,perhaps if you had done a bit more research you would have realised Dempsey was initially taking it easy and not begun this thread!

 

It is well understood that Dempsey carried Carp.

 

The Promoter supposedly told Dempsey to let the fight go a few rounds.

 

Understood by everyone but the guy who made the thread ,the Dempsey hater Mendoza!

 

Fighters of those days spent lots of time with roadwork. Roadwork was the key conditioning exercise. It produced excellent wind along with athletically strong runners legs.

 

They wanted to make sure the PPV adverts were seen by the most people.

Anyway, Dempsey looked nonchalant the first couple rounds, like a cat with a mouse. Took the Frenchman out
when the time was right.

Nothing to see here, move along.

 

You sound like a NY cop lol

 

It was like GGG vs. Brook
Dempsey hurt him right away, spared him, took it easy, and then went for the kill when things got feisty.
