Now Anglo was tossing off profound cities Tyson Muhammad All would do a number on him slap him around Good " and sugar Ray Leonard should have knocked out Marvin Kagler in inc late rounds when i Lagler was Rcd and lunging and asking for the right uppercut but Ray was Loo cautious pand. Leonard will be in big trouble against Tommy Carns if he s no sharper than he was against Donny Lalonde Hal Amateur. / among sonic other observations Roberto Duran is 38, and he beats Iran Hartley who knocked out Tommy Carns no Long ago. Duran is a Marvel who s still got the head action he always had. Stands on a dime and makes you miss like Willie Pep did. Don t count on Landing a punch against Roberto. Also he psyches you. He Don t know English but he insults you with sign language like that obscene Stutru with his fingers."., More about the Duran Barkley fight its a split decision and that s what every promoter wants be cause immediately there s hollering about a rematch. For the promoters that s the magic word split Deci Sion. It s Worth a ton at the Box office. They ii fit Anglo said he thought Leonard will lick Carns when that fight comes up again. I m not connected to either tighter now so this is an honest prediction Leonard Over More about Tyson he murders you when you fight his fight Spinks went to him and was killed the standup fighters do better. When you Bend he nails you Wanh those Hooks and uppercuts. Bonc Cruiser Smith and a couple of others Don t Bend to him lode him up. Don t let him use his Short arms too much and they to the limit. Bui nobody s around to frustrate Tyson. If you re looking for any More Muhammad alls forget it Tyson s about the boxing business it s haywire. Cams gets knocked out by Leonard and Hagler then he blows his super Middle title to Iran Barkley. Who also knocks him out and now he can t win for losing and he s getting the biggest payday of his life around s10 million for fighting Leonard. Pay to is making millionaires of anybody who can throw a punch Boom doom Mandoni he gels beaten up pretty Good four years ago and for four years he Don t Fig and then he comes Back and gels 1.4 Mil for going in with Hector Camacho who also comes out or a retire ment. It s like boxing is running a senior Lour like Golf for the Over the Hill perhaps there is More than a bit of envy when Angelo talks of All those millions because in sad truth he was a. Bit ahead of his time. When he trained All All s purses at his Peak were Only half As much As a beaten up Tommy Heams will earn against Leonard and Anglo was getting the Trainer s the manager share. But in 1976 when they called Angelo in to Shepherd Novice sugar Ray Leonard toward the big fights and the big Money it was on Ahmeto s terms. He demanded and got is percent of Leonard s Nel purse Money on a six year contract. Alas he was Maneu Vered out he claims by Mike Trainer Leonard s attorney just before the big big Money was in sight. Angelo said Trainer rushed me into sign i no a new contract that he hand wrote and gave to me Al ringside in Tucson Iri 1979. It Cut to years on my is percent contract with them and spelled out i would Only gel si00,000 for title fights $50,000 for non title. They did relent when they gave me $ 175,000 for work ing with Ray in the Hagler right a $175,000 payday could leave Angelo quite saddened especially after his Quick calculation that his original is percent Cut of a Leonard purse would have been Worth something like si.2 million that in fill. They Cut me Way Back he said. He said he has t spoken to Trainer or Leonard in a Long time. But i m not mad Al sugar Ray. Look at All these pictures hanging up around Here. A lot of them Are of Conard. You can see for yourself that i Haven i turned his face to the Angelo is is ill a big name in the business. Fighters and managers lock to him for help in expediting their Way to the big Lime and inc big Money of boxing and they pay handsomely for his advice and status in the losing business. He Stisi has a stable of fighters. My main Man now is Adilman Rodriguez Angilu said. He s a brazilian heavyweight a puncher 6-2, 230. Has won 27 of 29 fights 24 by to. Won Ihrck of his last six by first round knockouts. He s fight in Jim Tillis next week in Diode Hummi. A 230-Pound brazilian heavyweight who can punch. Jus maybe would Anglo be thinking of a Mike Tyson fight Well said Anglo Down in Rio do Janeiro you ought to Sec it they be got a stadium seating 200,000.? it i Correct to say that there was a. Gleam in Angela s Eye. Angelo Dundee air jul beliefs hit Farmer Muhammad Ali would have slapped Tyson 58 percent of Aba players game to try olympic hoops All stars Karl Malone left and Charles Barkley would form a formidable Forward indent for us. By Hill Barnard a basketball writer almost two thirds of Aba players think professionals should be allowed in the olympics but Only 58 percent said they would play if they could according to a Survey by the associated press. The majority of those opposed to participation said the games arc better suited to College players and thai Aba players would make a travesty of Competition. Others said that it would disrupt their family life or that they doubted Aba owners would let them play.1 Fiba the International governing body for basketball is expected to Vole Friday to open olympic basketball 10 All professional players beginning with the 1992 games in Barcelona. I would go in a heartbeat said Karl Malone of inc Utah jazz. I d pay my own ticket Over there. It iced me off when inc russians were High living like " they had beaten America s Best and 1 knew they had a total of 185 players 62.7 percent answered yes when asked by the a if Aba players should be allowed in the olympics.1 on Hundred for 33.9 per car Rte said no 10 had no answerer no opinion _ asked if they would play 172 players or ss.3 percent said yes 114, or 38.6 percent said no and inc rest nine players had no answer or no opinion. Only 139 of 295 Aba players contacted by the al1 said yes to both questions. That is 47,1 percent there arc a maximum of 300 players on the Active Aba roster at any time 12 players on each team. Even if those who said they would t did not play a Pool of players remains for a formidable team. A potential Starling five would include Mullite and Philadelphia s Charles Barkley at forwards. 1984 olympian Patrick Ewig of new York Al Cen Ter. Magic Johnson of the lakers at Point guard and Portland s Clyde Drexler at shooting guard. La s about time for us to let the world see whal we can really do Johnson said. "1 definitely would like to play. The soviets think they can beat us but they Haven l beaten our Best. All they be done is beat our Best collegiate players. It was very Lough for me to Sec Ihm lose last if the proposal passes Friday much would have to be decided about How and when the . Team would be chosen. The problems include having the Aba in playoffs until Laie june and inc next olympics in july which could preclude tryouts a sore Point for some play ers in any Case if they picked me for the learn 1 d Jjo bul i m Noi trying out said Barkley a perennial All Star but an Early Cut by Bob Knight from the 1984 Potym not everyone who said he would t go said Liy but the most common reason Given by 60 players was the belief that the olympics Are better suited for College players for us to be selfish and say we want to win at All costs is not right said Del Oil s Isiah Thomas who. Made the 1980 olympic learn but lost out to the . Boycott. I d Hale to deprive a College player like Bimbo Coles for whom the olympics arc Itie crowning Point of his being an olympian has always been a dream of mine and to gel that Opportunity would be great said John Stockton of the Utah jazz. But i still maintain thai inc olympics should be for College players. How Many golds can magic Johnson win
