* But Shavers will find—as the Shavers of the boxing world have discovered 19 times already—that Ali is not disposed to yield the title

determination to retire as world heavyweight champion.’ Not even with boxing's hardest punch will Shavers find a counter. weapon to Ali’s courage or willpower.

In Ali’s last serious title defence—almost a year ago against Ken Norton in Yankee Stadium—Norton found himself with a chance

ared in Terrace provincial court yesterday to face charges of possission of marijuana after the crown alleged that 44

unds of the narcotic was ound in their home.

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 use stems and stalks, which are not a narcotic, were included in weight.

Hafichuck and Blaschuk were released on bail and will appear in Stewart court on November 28,

In 30 seconds of exhaustion, Ali roved he was a champion; orton proved he was not. ‘Retiring champion— with my title—means more to me than having $20 million and not having the tile,” gays the 35-yearold 1

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.
