Foreman smashes Frazier KINGSTON, Jamaica (Reuter) -George Foreman, a young American with dynamite in his fists, won the World Heavyweight Boxing Title in the most dra- matic fashion here last night when he knocked champion Joe Frazier down six, times in the first five minutes of their fight here and forced the referee to stop the contest. Frazier, who had been made a five to two favorite, was de- stroyed by the ferocious power that Foreman packed in both his fists. THE CHAMPION barely sur- vived the first round, in which he took three, eight counts, and was on the canvas when the bell sounded. The one-minute rest was quite inadequate for Frazier to re- cover, and Foreman tore in for the kill when the second round opened. Frazier, stunned and bewilder- ed, was sent crashing; down three times in barely more than one minute of the second round. Each time he hauled himself up but he was clearly stunned and the third time he got up American referee Arthur Mer- cante stepped in, waving his arms across his body to signal the end of the fight. Foreman, who has said no opponent has ever hurt him and none will, made a victory, leap into the air and then was en- gulfed by his handlers and sup- porters. The crowd was almost as stunned by the drama and quick- ness of events as Frazier. Thou- sands sat silently in their seats for long minutes after the fight trying to take in what had hap- pened. THE DECISIVENESS of Fore- man's victory could be the end of the career of 29-year-old Fra- zier, who had been talking be- fore the fight of retiring in about a year's time. Frazier had looked extremely sharp in training and appeared to have recaptured the form he showed in his stirring and pain- ful win over Ali in March, 1971. Since the Ali fight, however, he had had only two fights- both against mediocre opponents -and all his sharpness was left in the gymnasium. PANDAMONIAN errupted in the outdoor stadium where near- ly 40,000 wildly excited Jama- ciahs had assembled, most of them expecting Frazier to be too skillful and experienced for the challenger. Foreman, the 1968 Olympic champion, who entered the fight with 37 professional victories be- hind him, thus captured the su- preme prize in sport without ever being in trouble or hurt in his professional career - just as he said he would. After the fight Foreman said, "God told me I would be cham- pion." "I'm not going to quit," vowed Frazier after losing the title. "I didn't want to hurt him any more," said Foreman. "I kept begging Yancey Durham (Fra- zier's manager) to stop it." "The fact that I didn't fight tougher opponents in my past two fights didn't effect the out- come," claimed Frazier. "I am not thinking about any big fights now," said the 24-year- old Foreman, who suddenly finds himself looking down at Frazier and Muhammad Ali, the two dominant figures in boxing for the past several years. "All I want to do is stay still a while and appreciate what I have done, what God has let me do." i Wilmore' s dump Wil By MARC FELDMAN- Special to The Daily EVANSTON - Henry Wil- more canned both ends of a one-and-one free throw situ- ation with eight seconds to go to give Michigan a three-point NIGHT EDITOR: lead as the Wolverines es- caped from McGaw Hall with ROGER ROSSITER a hard-fought 80-79 decision over the Northwestern Wild, from outside and Brady cats last night.
