At The ' | Ringside BV CHARLES J. LIVINGSTON i lor ASSOC IA TEH NEGRO PRESS SUGAR RAY WILL WiN W.i a Si nfar Ray Robinson en- • ! ters the ring Wednesday to fight ; I Gene Fullmer for iiie middle- j i weight title, the eyes of the entire j fistic world will be upon him. I Everywhere the question will be j asked: "Can Robinson do it? Can j he, Robinson, the slickest fighting j ; machine boxing has ever produced j defeat the brash, young Mormon i | fr-an Utah, who last January de prived him of his middleweight utle? Or will he like Louis, Demp sey, Johnson and scores of other champions before him. fall victim to the vagaries of age? Will he become the first man ever to re gain the title three times* Those who support the con tention that "They Never Come Back,” believe Ray cannot do it. No longer a youngster at 3ti, they fee! he has gone too far in his fistic endeavors and that twilight is closing In on him. Fuillmer, they think, will bring Robinson's colorful car eer to an abrupt end. And the experts, once solidly In famous ex-champion’s corner, have turned their hacks on him. Reasoning that Ray is past hi* peak, they have Installed the 25-year-o!d Fullmer the favor ite, at odds as high as 16 to 5. But here at least is one scribe who is slicking with Sugar. And : s not for sentimental reasons I am picking Ray to win for sev cral reasons. First of all. Robinson Is in top condition for this fight. Long known for his dedication to proper conditioning, Ray, a perfectionist at has done an amazing re building job rn himself since he lost the title to Fullmer 1n their controversial battle in New York In his final boxing drills, he was punching with the coordination of a Robinson of old. and his legs which proved so helpful to him in the New York encounter, appear in good shape. Those close to Ray -ay he is fit to go 15 rounds, al. though the pattern of his training indicates that he will seek an early knockout. He is geared for a fast, rigorous fight ai close quarters, however. Third. Robinson is still the mas ter strategist, who is adept at cap italizing; on his opponent's mis takes. Always one step of his man j m the ring, he is expected to suck j ci j-uUmer into leads in much the •ame manner as he did against 80. ho Olson in 1955. Once he gets Fullmer in open up, the Utah figh ter will be a sitting duck for his countering rights I (dimer is young and rugged. : hut I believe Robinson f* to clever and ring wise for him. Moreover Fullmer might fat! victim to the same balance that proved Olson's undoing. He has been fed too much of (he old age talk that Robinson i* a glosned-over decrepit ready to burst at the seams. As » result, he seem* to think he can walk right out of Ills cor ner and take Ray. Even dur ing his fight with Robinson last January, Gene said he ask ed his handlers to let him open up and try for a knockout. They advised him against It, In short, Fullmer has gotten cocky If he goes after an early knock out, however, he will be playing right, into Ray’s hands. Robinson has said he intends to °P*n Fullmer up "In more ways THE CAROLINIAN i cher said, was the Dempsey-Firpo battle in which Firpo was down seven times and Dempsey down once-later being knocked clear out of the ring.
