V 1_C ‘Sport’ of boxing still prospers A parachutist flies into the ring, gets tangled in the ropes and gets his butt kicked while the champion's wife ond cornerman are taken to the hospital. Such was the scene during the seventh round of the Evander Holyfield-Riddick Howe heavy weight-title fight Saturday. Is this finally enough for people to realize what a farce the "sport" of boxing is? 1 made a vow to myself a few weeks ago to stop following box ing Not that I was ever Charlie Steiner or any of those other weirdos who take this sport seri ously, but I was an interested observer to what was going on in the sport. However, my change of heart came when a friend casually asked me who I thought would win an upcoming fight It was then I realized that I hadn't seen either of the fighters in action because I don't care to donate $40 to Don King or any of the other corrupt figures in the sport to watch the fight on pay pur view. This is the first problem I have w'ith boxing — it is impossible for the average person to follow the big-wigs of the sport. The premier matchups are available only on pay-TV, or they're shown on network television months after they are over. Any one who remembers, or even worse bought into, the Mike Tyson-Michael Spinks 91-sec ond fight a few years ago is reluctant to shell out the cash. My second problem with box ing is that it appears to me that most of the fights are fixed. I hope this doesn't shock anyone, but if it does, you need a little naivete training Of course this issue came to ; De|a Shoes Friday, November 12 Room 227 Chiles Center Julie Lewis, founder of Dfja Shoes, will be at the U of O to speak on Friday, Nov. 12 l>fy» Shoes is a company in Beaverton, Oregon which manufactures shoes using more than 50% recycled products 9:30 am: Continental Breakfast (228 Chiles) l(k00 am: Presentation RSVP by Thursday: 346-3420 Sponsored by: The Lundquist Center for Business Development and The Entrepreneurship Club Steve Mims the public's attention a few months ago when heavyweight Ray Mercer was accused of offering his opponent, Jesse Fer guson. money during a match if he'd take a dive. This surprised some people, hut the only thing that should have been surprising was that he was dumb enough to do this during the match Couldn't he have taken care of this before the match? I think a less obvious example of cheating in boxing came dur ing the Parnell Whitaker-Julio Cesar Chavez match a few months ago. This was one of the few non-heavyweight matches to draw enough attention to war rant pay-per-view coverage. The match went the distance, and although almost everyone at ringside thought Whitaker won the hght. the judges ruled it a draw. The draw now makes it possi ble to get the two back in the ring to collect more money from gullible fans, whereas if one of the fighters would have won there would be no non-heavy weight matches that could do this. Don't believe me? Then ask yourself why, after the match. Chavez told Whitaker, "We’ll make inucho dinero in the rematch." I have my doubts as well about last weekend's Bowe liolvfield fight, which was won by Holyfield on a decision. Many of those at ringside thought Bowe either won, or at least it was close enough for the champion to retain his title. Could there have been a little chicanery going on here as well? Consider this, if Bowe wins, the popular Holyfield is out of contention because he has two losses and Bowe is forced to fight either Lennox Lewis, who has looked shaky recently, or Michael Moorer, a talented fighter, but not a big pay-per view draw. However, with Holy field winning, the stage is now set for Holyfield-Bowe III. a sure-fire pay-TV hit. One of my favorite things about boxing right now is the story of Jorge Gonzales, who goes 10 snow now riaicuious this sport is. Gonzales is a for mer Olympian who is now an undefeated heavyweight, but nobody takes him seriously Few people who follow boxing give him a shot to win the title, but he is a contender because he hasn’t faced anyone good enough to beat him. Another problem with Gonza les is that he claims he is in his 20s. but many people think he may actually bo as much as 10 years older than ho claims to be. Don't they require a birth certifi cate before you are allowed to fight' Another block eye for boxing came a while back when heavy weight Tommy Morrison, who was then a champion for one of the many boxing organizations, was scheduled to fight but his opponent ran out of the building before the fight started, appar ently because he didn’t want to take the mandatory drug test. Now the promoters of the fight had two options: One. can cel the fight and refund the fans’ money, or two, pull some jour neyman fighter out of the audi ence and give him a shot at the champ. You guessed it. they pulled some out-of-shape fight er. who was called into the audi ence just in case the challenger left, and let him fight Morrison. Never mind that the guy could have been killed by the very much in-shape Morrison: the promoters didn't want to have to refund the fans’ money. One person who has been strangely silent lately has been controversial promoter Don King. The reason for this is because Holyfield is under the control of Emmanual Stewart. Dan Duva and Hammer (yes, Hammer), and Bowe is guided by Rock Newman and some oth ers. This is why you see Don King running around yelling "Free Mike Tyson” every chance he gets. It’s not because he cares for Mike: it's because Tyson is the onlv heavyweight that King can make money off of right now. However, with Tyson in jail, King is stuck guiding Chavez (you remember him, the "mucho dinero” guy) and watching the new faces on the heavyweight scene grab the money without him. Well. 1 guess there is one redeeming thing about boxing anyhow. Sieve Mims is sports editor of the Emerald. GIUE ME FIUE!
