Lacking any high spot compar able with the memorable Demp-sey-FIrpo battle of J923, the sea son was noteworthy chiefly for a final and unsuccessful Invasion of America by George Ckrpentier, the downfall of Luis Angel Firpo from the ranks' of heavyweight title contenders, and the passing of !. two veteran champions. An other important .development was approval of a new law- permitting 12rround bouts in California in 1925 and forecasting a big ring revival on the coast. ; Only one world's title change took place in the ring and that occurred? when' Abo Attel Gold stein dethroned Joe Lynch as bantamweight title holder in a colorless 15-round bout at Madison Square Garden that et "a colorless champion upon the i ll 8-pound throne. ' . 1 The other break '-in of champions came, when Johnny Dundee, durable little Italian war rior, forfeited "without fa 'struggle the featherweight f title he ' had won the year before- from Eti gene OriquI, gallant . French. . fighter. Dundee relinquished - the title which be had pot -once defended. because of his inability, further to make the 126-pound limit, and the New York State Athletic commis sion has launched an 'elimination tournament, the survivor of which will be recognized fry ! that body as the new feather champion. It seems likely that the: result of this procedure also will be univer sally accepted, thus , j shattering pugilistic precedent and upsetting the old theory that a champion can lose his crown- only in the ring. , ; Dundee, was shorn completely of titles when he lost to Kid Sul livan, the junior lightweight, of 130-pound championship, a divi sion, however, which is not gen erally recognized. ' ' ' Starting out with: prospects of an unusual amount' of title acti vity, the year fell far sliort of ex pectations in this respect for a variety of reasons. The .failure of Jack Dempsey, heavyweight king. to defend his crown; no doubt had its effect on the resf of the ranks, wftile suspensions by ring authori ties, eleventh hour mishaps, and disinclination: on the :part of several j champions fo risk their drowns were other factors to bring about "a dearth of championship activity. . ' :j . ! . . , Benny Leonard," lightweight champion, defended his crown once by defeating pal Moran at Cleveland .but in this bout injur ed his 1 hands to "Buch' an extent that he was' forced; to call off a scheduled battle twith Mickey Walker, the welterweight cham pion. Walker,, handicapped by in curring the - displeasure ot, -New York ring solons for refusing to accept a challenge from Dave Shade, : nevertheless was one ot the most active champions and has an .1 unusual, opportunity in pros pectpect early in (hei new year when he fighfs Mike; McTigue, the world's light heavyweight cham pion. - .';!.. r McTigue, early this year, had a close call against his schoolboy rival, Young Sfrfblfng,;who nearly scored a knockout over the cham pion' in a no-decision bout at New ark, n. j; t i ,'i 1' - 1 ! Harry Greb's middleweight title was in little Jeopardy; during the year while Pancho .Villa, flyweight titleholder, left for. his . native Philippines after failing to go through with a match with his closest rival, Frahkie Tjfenaro. Vil la claimed an injury prevented his fighting, but the boxing commis sion was dissatisfied with this ex planation and ; suspended him. Greh's victories included one over Johnny Wilson, former champion, while Villa disposed of Frankie Aeh, British flyweight. ' With the "memory of his spec tacular! fight against Dempsey still fresh in the minds of ring followers, Firpo returned from Argentina for another campaign but 'it proved a fismal failure. The big South American, obviously not in the best of condition and affected , by legal eetaglements in which he . had become Involved, was outclassed by" Harry Wills, gfant negro.5 fn a tiout at Boyle's Thirty Acres, and tien suffered a crowning, setback when .he was defeated by Charley Weinert, who had been an easy victim-for the "Wild Bull" in 1923. ; , These defeats, were looked upon as eliminating Firpo from the front rank of Dempsey's challen gers, hut the v Argentinian may attempt another-comeback. ; .Wills stood Out agafn at the end of the season' as the chief heavy weight contender but h'is victory over Firpo failed to increase the negro's prestige and the prospect that he will gain :a long-sought match with. Dempsey ttill is the ring's principal uncertainty. f Jack Renault, hard-hitting Can adian, has been regarded as a formiJable Demps?.y ; rival, but T":i::tly his. stock slumped when l.B unexpectedly Ei-r-t defeat in r.--::n t.the h'ar.s cf Quintin . , -"Mla!, had failed bouts. The year failed; to uncover much .promising new material, iti any division. The few; exceptions were chiefly in the featerweight ranks, where Dundee's retirement stimulated . activity, while Sid Terris,- flashy New Yorker, dev eloped into a formidable light weight contender. - Paul Berlen- bach, Jlmiriy Slattery and Stfib- pion . and Toni Olbbonr. Ledoux ling added color land Interest; to light heavy ranks. - Foreign talent continued to in vade American rings but met with scant success.
