residence of the two men.

The search revealed a

“large quantity’ of
marijuana, approximately
44 pounds, the cir-
cumstances read.

Defense counsel Tom
Bishop said the figure of 44
ounds was not correct

which are not a narcotic,
were included in weight.

ALI PROVED POINT
He didn't; Ali did. In 30
seconds of exhaustion, Ali
roved he was a champion;
orton proved he was not.

All concedes that Shavers’
only chance is _ his
devastating punching

ower. In 54 victories,

avers has knocked out 52
opponents, the highest
knockout percentage of any
heavyweight in history. He
kayoed Jimmy Young in one
round and Jimmy Ellis in
three rounds in. 1973, and
last April he knocked out
Howard Smith in two

rounds.

“His best shot is to knock
me out before he gets tired,”
says Ali, “‘and that’s seven
rounds.

“If he’s as slow as he
looks, as shiftless as he
looks,” says Ali, “I won't
have to dance, just move
back and forth a little bit.”
VICTIM OF KNOCKOUTS

Along with packing a
dynamite punch, Shavers

SO packs a glass jaw.
Three of Shavers: five losses
have been by knockout—
Ron Stander in five rounds,
Jerry Quarry in one and Ron
Lyle in six,

All three probably swung
with more authority than Ali
does now, but Shavers will
godown from a combination
of fatigue and accumulative
punches. Only seven times
in 60 fights has Shavers gone
10 rounds, never longer. In
his pro career, he has fought
less than 199 rounds. Forty-
eight of his knockouts have
come in five rounds or less,

and he has scored 19 one-

round knockouts.

Ali has been knocked
down only four times in his
career, and he has gotten up
each time. The first two
knockdowns were by Sonny
Banks in 1962 and Henry
Cooper in 1963. Ali wound up
knocking out both of those
fighters.

Ali also was knocked down
by Frazier, also a heavy
hitter, and Chuck Wepner.
hy a fluke punch that lande
while Wepner was standing
on Ali’s foot.

Ali has predicted
knockouts between rounds
four and seven. Shavers
thinks he can take out Ali in

seven.
