Coming Soon - In the Ring With Jack Dempsey - Part III: The Championship and Beyond

I'm all in! Finish it up!

 

iF IT'S AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TWO VOLUMES WE ARE IN FOR A TREAT!

 

Looking forward to it, I have the first two. Great work!

 

Very exciting news.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Terrific news.

 

Not only excited to hear about the remainder of Dempsey's career, but also coverage of the rise of Gene Tunney.

 

Tunney, it seems like nobody's looking on him as so talented a fellow as Tommy Gibbons, or unique like Greb. But people respect him as a competent pro who's going to give a fight his best shot, isn't going to beat himself and, even in the Greb I horror show, stands the gaff, learns the hard way, doesn't get discouraged and gets right back on the horse that threw him. The fancy doesn't exactly like Tunney in an enthusiastic manner, but they're brought to respect him, and even acknowledge that he's coming along, in the sort of way that an hour-hand moves in a fashion which doesn't grab attention but is recognizable over time.

 

Curious Mr @apollack if this edition (or one of the earlier ones) sheds any new light on Dempsey’s military service (and lack thereof during WWI)? I’d be curious to know what your research has shown.

 

Nice. I am eager to buy it when it comes out.
