NEW YORK, 7th May. Boxing authorities express amazement at the change in Willavd, who is to fight Johnson on 12th June. Willard's huge bulk, which caused ridicule when ho announced his return to' the ring, has been so reduced by earnest training that he is in better condition thnn when he met Dempsey. Training , bouts demonstrate that he is able to punch as well as ever, while his general physical condition indicates that he will stand as much punishment as Johnson can give him. Jack M'Auhff, the- undefeated light-weight champion, declares that Willard will easily knock out Johnson in six rounds.
