Nuxated Knockouts

" I took Nuxated Iron faithfully all through my training," said Jack Dempsey at his Shelby headquarters after the 15-round fight in which he retained his world's championship by decision over Tom Gibbons. In an extended interview given to a representative of this singular specific, Dempsey revealed secrets that should virtually revolutionize the progress of the prize ring. It seems that Dempsey has taken large quantities of the Iron as a staple of his training diet before all his championship struggles.

Thinking people will discern immediately that Dempsey has taken a false step. In fact, his ingenuous enthusiasm for this vialled virility seems for the moment to have swept him off his feet. Not only has the fighter become involved in this strategic blunder, but his manager as well. Jack Kearns, whose brain held up Shelby and the nation for $100,000, has forgotten himself so far as to give away the secret of his success. He, too, admits that Nuxated Iron is vital to his champion's " phenomenal victories."

It is one thing to give credit where credit is due; it is quite another to imperil one's livelihood by excessive feelings of gratitude. Dempsey and Kearns, in their blind enthusiasm, have given to Tom Gibbons the key to his one vital shortcoming. He lacked that ounce of ferocity, that ecstasy of endurance that Nuxated Iron, according to the implication of Dempsey's statement, alone can give.

Now that the cat is out of the bag it remains only for Gibbons to nourish himself with Nuxated and knock the champion frigid in their next encounter.

The more obvious aspects of the battle showed that Dempsey's twoyears of idleness have mellowed his potency. No longer can he pulverize with a punch. No longer, indeed, can he always " connect " with that punch. His speed has lost its deadliness; his eye has fallen into error.

Gibbons displayed a sound defensive strategy. He ran away. He lives to fight another day when the gate receipts will be bigger.
