By DICK FONTANA Pittsburgh - IUPU - Cassius Clay, the undisputed "champ of prophesy," sailed home to Louisville on a cloud today with a promise to become the "champ of heavyweights" in 10 months. Clay, self-proclaimed "Lou isville Lip," disposed of for mpr professional football star Charlie Powell in 2:04 of the third round Thursday night In fulfill a Dredicted knock out victory for the 13th time in 14 kayo wins. riav had boasted before the fight that he would "annihi late" Powell in the tnira round. Tmmcdiatelv afterward, matchmaker Teddy Brennan of Madison Square Garden announced he will sign ine IhirH.rankpri C.lav to a ficht with Doug Jones for March 13 in New York. "I would like to fight Jones frankpH sixth! .and Billy Daniels (ranked seventh) on the same night, Clay con fidently asserted in his jubi lant dressing room after ex tending his unbeaten string to 17 straight. "In this way," he added, "I can make greater progress." Drew Heavy Boos Clay's easy win over the 214-pound Powell drew heavy hnns from a record local in door crowd of 11,238 which paid a gross of $55,782 and a net of $47,360. Ten per cent of the net, $4,736, will go to a fund for families of 37 men killed in a mine explosion last month. Clay said a "hard right hand" set up Powell for the kill. The punch which put him down was a left hook. The 21-year-old Clay had little trouble with Powell, 29-year-old from San Diego, Calif. He danced around the ring through the first two rounds, landing stinging jabs and stright rights almost at will as Powell chose to stalk around the center of the can vas. Powell said a "flurry of punches" near the end of the second round "got me woozy" and he went down under the barrage in the third. While referee Ernie Sesto tolled eight Powell, on his hands and knees, attempted to get to his feet but shook his head futilely and was counted out. "I'm the prophet of the fight game," Clay said later in his dressing room. "I'm making history. After all, I'm calling my rounds and making them stand up. Working on Time Table "I'm working on a time table," Clay added. "My schedule is to win the cham pionship in 10 months. I am the Louisville Lip. My lips break records when I move them." . Powell blamed a flat-footed attempt - to land "one big punch with costing him the win. "I fought the : wrong type of ' light, Powell said. stood still and tried to floor him with one punch. I should have jabbed more and kept the pressure on him.
