Meehan Out of Shape and Losses To Dempsey in Great Fight Card
Willie Meehan was a disappointment to those who backed him to beat Jack Dempsey. There was a time when the fans thought it could not be done when somebody mentioned that Meehan was growing fatter. Last night he showed that it could be done. Meehan was so fat that it hug in rolls over his belt and although he was game enough he did not have the punch after the first two rounds to do Dempsey any damage and Dempsey was returned a winner. Al Norton and Chet McIntyre were on hand to challenge the winner and Dempsey will probably be matched with either one of these two next week.
