Turning to b o xin g ---- M arvin
Hagler is currently negotiating to
fig ht ex-W elterweight champion
Thomas Hearns. The fight will prob
ably come o ff in June. This is one
fig h t that Hearns doesn’ t need.
Hearns, a, 6-1, has the shoulders of
a heavyweight, biceps o f a light-
heavy and a reach that exceeded that
o f Muhammad A li. Those are the
things that made him excel as a wel
terweight. But moving up to the 165
pound clip the thought here is that
he would give up all that made him
great. You can bet your bottom dol
lar that he w ill not K.O. M arvin
Hagler. And don’ t bet a cent that
Hagler won’t knock Hearns out.
Hearns has d ifficu lty putting on
weight. It is said that in order for
Tommy to get up to 153 Vi pounds
he had to eat two steaks at both
lunch and dinner and drink 3 m ilk
shakes daily. “ I think 153 is about
my lim it,” admits Hearns. Hagler
will come at a solid 165, and that s a
lot o f weight to give away. How
about Wilfredo Benitez, Tommy?
Gerry Cooney’s much publicized
shoulder injury forced a postpone
ment o f the March 15 date at
Caesar’ s Palace to decide just who is
the ‘ baddest’ heavyweight around
today.
Satellite availability almost killed
the rescheduled June date but the
date is now secure.
The Holmes-Cooney bout w ill
surpass the money making record of
the Leonard-Hearns fight. Holmes
and Cooney have both been guaran
teed 10 million apiece for their June
11 date in Las Vegas. The fight is ex
pected to have a live gate of 32,000
plus millions o f satellite viewers all
over the w orld and closed circuit
theatre locations blanketing the
U.S.A. and Canada.
There has been a good deal o f
squabbling going on from both
camps Holmes tells everyone within
listening distance that Cooney is
feighning in ju ry and in reality is
only ducking him. Cooney replies
by calling Holmes stupid Feuds and
namecalling will continue until the
rwo men enter the ring in June. But
when the smoke clears, and it will be
soon. Ih* world w ill have a new
heavywe'ghl champion My first
outlook, six months ago, was for an
easy Holmes victory.
The thought here was that Larry
would give M r. Cooney some kind
o f boxing lesaon.
It was thought the experience of
Holmes would be the deciding fac
tor. A fter all who has Cooney de
feated? Jimmy Young, Ernie
Shavers, and Kenny Morton are all
members o f the over-the-hill gang.
But the more I thought about
Holmes being so susceptible to a
right hand the more I started to lean
toward Cooney. D id n ’t Shavers
have Larry all but out? Ernie decked
him with a couple o f good rights
that had Holmes hanging on and
very wobbly. Renaldo Snipes,
whom Larry KO’ d in eight, had the
champion on his fanny with a not-
so-good right hand.
Now Cooney is awkward, and
he’ s not the greatest boxer, and he’s
never gone the distance, but yet the
feeling here is that he w ill be the
winner. What he can do is hit
and
when he connects, the lights do go
out. Should be interesting.
Down at the C a lifo rn ia Angels’
spring training camp in Casa
Grande, A2, Reggie Jackson was
the biggest headline-maker o f them
all with his hot bat and quiet man
ner as reporters from v irtu a lly all
over the U.S. have reported. Believe
me they were watching his every
move.
During my recent visit to Califor
nia I learned that the Angels even
have Reggie doing radio commer
cials, and his mere presence in an
Angel un ifo rm has season ticket
sales booming. A t last count the
Angels had sold over 15,000 season
ducats.
“ He’s the greatest person playing
when it comes to putting fans’ butts
in seats,’ ’ said one Angel official.
Former Dodger Tommy John,
now o f the New York Yankees,
thinks the Dodgers blew it when
they passed on Reggie Jackson. And
the belief here is that Reggie will al
ways be there when you need a
clutch hit.
He's so much excitement that he’ s
truly worth whatever they pay him.
The Yanks w ill lose and California
will gain . fans.
