WHY SUGAR RAY LEONARD
WILL BEAT TOMMY
“ HITM AN" HEARNS
With James Allen, Portland dock
worker, Sam M oore, local bar
tender, Dr. Harold Adams, a group
o f us took in a replay o f the
Leonard-Ayube
Kalule fight.
Leonard added the WBA Junior
Middleweight crown to the WBC
Welterweight title he already owns.
On the same night, Tommy
Hearns scored a third round knock
out o f Pablo Baez, a native o f the
Dominican Republic, who fights out
o f Los Angeles and is the California
“ state” champ.
Hearns scored an unimpressive
knockout over a man whose record
now stands at 14-10, hardly im
pressive, while Leonard took on a
champion in a higher division whose
record stood at 36-0. Hearns fought
a nobody. Leonard downed a true,
tough champion. Kalule, the Ugan
dan now living in Denmark, was a
strong fighter who could give any
one a tough fight.
Brad Pye, Jr., my counterpart
who writes for the L .A . Sentinel
says "Sugar Ray Leonard might as
well mail in his retirement papers
before he climbs into the ring on
September 16th against Tommy
Hearns at Ceasars Palace in Las
Vegas.” Now, I've long respected
this gentleman from LA for his
knowledge and expertise in and
about the sporting world. And I've
tried somewhat to pattern my style
from his, but here we part company.
Tommy Hearns w ill not defeat
Sugar Ray. Hearns is a great fighter,
that’ s for sure, but the very things
that make him outstanding among
welterweights w ill be negated by
Leonard. Hearns at 6ft. 1 inch,
usually enjoys a tremendous ad
vantage over your normal welter
weight who usually stands between
5ft, 6 inches to 5ft 8 inches. Sugar
Ray is also big for a welter at 5ft 10
inches. Hearns w ill have a height
advantage on Leonard, but where it
is usually 6 or 7 inches, against
Sugar Ray it will be only three.
Comparing the opponents o f each
fighter, we see the advantage in
Leonard’ s favor. Leonard has the
experience o f going the 15 round
distance and believe you me that
means something. Sugar Ray has
also been in with the master boxers
in a la Wilfred Benitez and Roberto
Duran. Hearns hasn’ t fought any
one who even comes close to the
aforem entioned fighters. "T h e
H itm an” was just devastating said
Pye. Sure but in fe rio r opposition
w ill always make a superior fighter
devastating. Leonard is super quick
and w ill not be suckered by the
Hearns left hook. And that too, will
be an advantage for Leonard.
Hearns has a tendency to carry his
left hand low. Sugar will exploit this
weakness immediately. The so
called “ hit man" will be hit so many
times by Leonard that he w ill be
to tally frustrated by the tenth
round. 1 see Sugar Ray tantalizing
Tommy in the same manner in
which he disposed o f Duran.
It w ill end sometime after the
eleventh round w ith Leonard the
winner. Hearns was my choice 8
months ago, but since then,
Leonard’ s career has skyrocketed
and that’ s because his people chose
the tougher opponents, while Hear
ns people chose the lesser.
Therefore, I w ill not seem to know
fo r whom the bell tolls, I know it
w ill -toll fo r Tommy Hearns
somewhere after round eleven.
Muhammad A li was recently
hospitalized in Chicago, but he held
a press conference last Monday to
announce he’s still planning another
comeback. Comeback to your wife
and children A li, but please not the
ring.
And the first o f the college
preview mags are on the stands. The
eastern writers still believe that the
only people playing football in the
PAC-10 sit under the palm trees and
ride to work on crowded freeways.
Oregon was picked to finish fourth
in the PAC-10 by one magazine and
fifth by another. U C LA , USC, and
Eliot/Masons plan events
The Eilot Neighborhood De
velopment Association is spon
soring a Pot-luck luncheon on July
14th at the Masonic Temple (P H.)

Vickers, Program Chairman states
that all Senior Citizens who wish to
Bring students
(Continued from Page 1 Col 6)
program should be im m ediately
reversed, since that very involve
ment has led to low enrollm ent in
Northeast high schools and given
credence to the imputus for closure.
It is like luring a person o ff his front
porch w ith a frie n d ly smile and,
then, confiscating his property
before he can return to the premises.
I f Black parents see the double
standard and the careless attitude
tow ard integration that has been
shown by this “ new board” as I
think they do, there w ill begin now
the
process
of
reversing
d ram atically p a rtic ip a tio n in the

Eilot Neighborhood who are unable

M r. Vickers said that C om

Stanford were picked ahead o f the
Ducks. Well, seeing is believing and
coach Rich Brooks w ill just have to
make believers o f the non-believers.
A more realistic pick should have
Oregon finishing either firs t or
second in the PAC-10.
