To Have and Have Not: Dempsey vs Willard
Collapse
-
I enjoyed watching Dempsey's amazing display of speed skill and power. Dempsey only weighed 180 pounds but they lied about his weight and said he was 190 pounds so the fight wouldn't be cancelled as a dangerous mismatch. It's sad Dempsey busted Willard up so badly but Dempsey's extreme power was much of why it was a thrill to watch him. You can't enjoy watching a killer puncher in action and realistically expect his opponent not to get damaged. Willard was a world champion so getting a broken jaw and losing teeth was always a risk fighting hard punching challengers. I am sure Willard damaged his share of boxers in his career. Boxing is a dangerous sport.
