that he can win v.ly if the bat
tle goes the distance. While Den

10 rounds before he is in tip?top

shows only four knockouts.
Jordan, a surprise champion
who was anything but a, tiger un

in the ring, has gone 15 rounds
in two of his last three outings
with Akins. He is six years older
than the challenger. ,
. Jordan never could put a win
streak together before lie became
the champ. He has a record of
45 wins and 10 losses, lie has
scoicd 14 knockouts, which indi
cates he carries a slightly more
powerlul punch.
No matter how it turns out,
Jordan will have a good pay-day.
