f i WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1974 THE TRIBUNAL AID Chuck harev FOREMAN TOO TOUGH FOR ALI AT THREE O’CLOCK in the morning, Sept. 25 (24th at other parts of the globe), amid elephants and tigers, and diamonds m Darkest Africa - motherland of thei^ ancestry two black men, both owners of magnificent physiques for legalized mayhem, will slug it out toe to toe tor the heavyweight boxing supremacy of the world while nearly ONE BILLION people sit comfortably watchmg it, m the biggest cash sports attraction of aU time. Here are some of the facts: m j Challenger and former world champion Muhammad Ah (formerly Cassius Clay), at 32, 6 foot 3 a^nd 212 pounds from Louisville, Ky., VERSUS George foreman, undefeated world heavyweight champion 24 6 toot 3 and 220 pounds. Born in Texas, caUs California his home. WHERE - The City of Kinishasa, Country of Zaire,' Continent of Africa. (Better known as Leopoldville when Zaire was the Belgian Congo. Zaire produces nearly half of the world’s industrial diamonds.) The fight IS set for Sept. 25 at 3 a.m. Zaire time, so that it can be shown in New York at 10 p.m. on Sept. 24, among other places at prime times in North America. WHAT - A projected live audience of 100,000 fans (fanatics) at Vingt du Mai (Soccer) Stadium (especially rebuilt for the occasion) wiU view the battle in person. The closed circuit TV broadcast will be beamed to more than 400 outlets in in the Western Hemisphere, reaching upward of 3 million persons. Closed circuit TV will also bring the spectacle to most European countries. In addition, the fight will be carried live via satellite on home television in more than ONE HUNDRED foreign countries. WHY - Each fighter is guaranteed $5 million, no matter whether the bout goes 10 seconds or 15 rounds. Video Techniques, promoting the fight, is expecting the closed circuit television receipts to top $30 million. Barry Burnstein and Henry Schwartz, the top brains behind the promotion, admit the site of the fight has been selected because of the tremendous tax break all participants will get, ^ ^ ^ THE MATCH, perhaps the most dramatic fight since the days of Cain and Abel, is but a few days away . . . Latest odds slightly favor the champion to successfully defend his title. While Muhammad All has the greatest number of backers, the smart money wagerers are now stretching the early 8-5 line, according to the oddsmakers. The odds, no doubt, would tilt heavily in All’s favor, but for the bettors’ realistic appraisal of Foreman’s ability to take his man out suddenly with one swat, either hand. THE DOPESTERS backing the challenger, in their analyses of the fight, theorized that AU with 44 wins out of 46 fights, including 31 knockouts (since 1960), is equipped with too much speed and all-around ring sawy to suffer a setback in his most important fight. He would have to be kayoed, they say. This has never happened. FOREMAN PARTISANS, however, point out that the champion is just too tough and strong for any foe around today. They also quickly add that Foreman, unbeaten in 40 professional fights (beginning 1969), has flattened 37 foes. His last eight outings all ended in two rounds or less, including the beating he gave Joe Frazier, winning the title (Jan.’73) after dropping “Smokey Joe” six times in less than five minutes of boxing. THE STING — The boxing style of each fighter is exactly opposite. Also, their native loyalties.) All is a master pirouetter, while Foreman is a one-directional mover. All looks past the American flag, while Foreman proudly waves it. But the question on most lips is: Will Ah’s speed and cunning nullify Foreman’s strength? Your sportstalker is picking George Foreman to win by a knockout ... to go out on a limb, call it round 7. ((c) 1974, McNaught Syndicate, Inc.)
