FRAZIER: WHO'S CHAMP?
' New York (AP) ? "I don't

right now, anyway," said Joe
Frazier moments after he scor*
_J - -
en a unanimous 15-round dea
cision over Muhammad Ali to
retain his world heavy weight
| championship Monday night.
"Who's the chamo? . . . Who's
the champ?" Frazier repeated
the question three times. Al'
though he had scored a one-sided
victory, he hardly looked like
the winner.
! His face was lumpy, especial'
ly around the eyes. It was the
price he paid for carrying the
' fight to Ali, often charging into
the ex-champ, head lowered and
' apparently oblivious to any
blows he absorbed.
Clay was taken to a hospital
and Bundini Brown, one of his j
handlers, said he had a broken
jaw. It was not certain in what
i round it happened. '

Frazier, who put in a full
night's work for his $2.5-<million
purse and looked it, excused
limsi'.i from the post-fight news
conference.
"Let me go straighten my
face up," he said. "I ain't this
ugly."
Frazier said he dropped his
arms during the fight "to let

feel stronger now than when I
went in."
The champion made a point of
calling Ali by his forrrier name,
Cassius Clay. He repeated the
name "Clay" three times at one
point, each time emphasizing
the name that Ali discarded after
winning the heavyweight
crown in 1964.
"Let me tell you one thing,
though." said Frazier. "Trial
man takes some punch. I nit
him some shots, and he took the
best of them."
