Tyson may hurt Holmes, trainers predict
The Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Larry Holmes' will to win could result in a bad bating by Mike Tyson, says Eddie Futch, who trained the former heavyweight champion for 12 title fights.
"Tyson has the style and strength that could make it hard for Larry to avoid getting badly beaten and possibly hurt." Futch said in a telephone interview yesterday from his home in Las Vegas, Nev.
"I don't feel good about the fight," he said.
Tyson, the 21-year-old undisputed heavyweight champion, is an 8-1 favorite to beat Holmes in their scheduled 12-round fight Friday night at the Atlantic City Convention Center.
"Larry has pride," Futch said.
"He will go in there and do his best.
Larry is not afraid of anybody, but I feel he doesn't have the physical capabilities at this stage of his career."
"At this point in his career, I hate to see him in there, that's all," said Ray Arcel, who helped Futch prepare Holmes for his 13th round knockout of Gerry Cooney on June 11, 1982.
"You don't belong in the ring, not with a 21-year-old guy who can punch." Arcel said by telephone from New York.
"Tyson is getting better," Futch continued. "At one time, I thought he had gone as far as he could go. He started standing up like he did against Bonecrusher and Tony Tucker (both decision victories). I could see him getting利耿."
"Then he went back to what he had been doing against Biggs — going to
In his last fight, Tyson knocked out Tyrell Biggs in the sevent round here on Oct. 16 and boosted his record to 32-0, with 28 knockouts. Holmes has a 48-2 record, with 34 knockouts.
the body and crouching."
"I advised Larry more than a year ago not to take another fight," Futch said.
Holmes, who was the premier heavyweight in the world for 71/2 years, has not fought since losing a 15-round split decision to Michael Spinks when he tried to regain the International Boxing Federation title April 19, 1986.
Holmes has been holding closed workouts for several weeks at his training center at Easton, Pa., and is scheduled to arrive here Wednesday afternoon.
Tyson, who is a student of boxing history and films, has said he thought
Holmes' best fight was his 15-round split decision over Ken Norton for the World Boxing Council title June 9, 1978.
"I think his peak was around the second Shavers fight," Futch said.
Holmes, who won a one-sided 12-round decision over Earnie Shavers to earn his title shot at Norton, struggled up from a one-punch knockdown to stop Shavers in a title defense Sept. 28, 1979.
"He started showing signs of deterioration about three years ago, about the time of the Bonecrusher Smith and David Bev fights." Futch said.
Holmes, who was cut and in trouble, stopped Smith on cuts in the 12th round Nov. 9, 1984, and stopped a pudgy Bey in the 12th round March 15, 1985.
Celtics' Ainge wants DiMaggio's record
The Associated Press
BOSTON -- Watch out, Joltin' Joe,
here comes Downtown Danny.
Boston's Danny Ainge, who couldn't connect on the long ball in baseball, has hit it with unprecedented consistency in basketball. He has shattered the NBA record with an 3-point basket in 20 straight games.
"I'm going for Joe DiMaggio's record," he said.
The former New York Yankee holds the hitting streak record of 56 games set in 1941. The former Toronto to Blue Jay would reach that total on April Fools day against Detroit if he played three in each Celtic game until then.
Ainge, who hit just two homers and 220 in three seasons as a Blue Jay infielder, has made 68 of his 3-pointers on the long-distance shot this season.
"I plan on getting my four or five
shots a game. If I hit .200, I'm all set," Aiae said.
The 6-foot-5 guard has availaged 4.4 attempts from 3-point range in the 35 games he's played this season.
On Jan. 6 against New York, he hit the shot for the 13th straight game, breaking the record he tied last year that had been held by teammate Larry Bird and former Celtic Chris Ford, now a Boston assistant coach.
With the season less than half over,
Alge has a good chance of breaking
up.
He has made 68 of 154 shots from the 3-point area to lead the league in both categories. The single-season records are 92 baskets and 257 attempts, set in the 1984-85 season by Utah's Darrell Griffith.
"A lot of people have been talking to me about it every day," Ainge said. "It's fun to keep it going. Obviously, you don't keep it going at the price of losing games, but it's fine
to keep interest up."
Ainge made 26 of 73 3-pointers in 1985-86 and 85 of 192 last season. In 20 playoff games last year, he hit 32 of 73 shots from that distance. This season, he is well on his way to career highs.
Ainge has the green light to bomb away and, despite his success, Celtics Coach K.C. Jones can't watch without mixed feelings.
"I've been a shooter anyway my whole life. That's been the specialty part of my game, and I've always wanted to be a shotman, but then a big adjustment for me," he said.
"He puts the ball in the basket and that helps, but I cringe on all kinds of 3-pointers," he said. "A coach's outlook is ... that's a long way from the basket and chances are he's going to miss it and you've got Kevin (Mahale) down there, you've got Larry (Bird) to post up. If Larry's out there shooting it, you've got
Robert (Parish) to post up So coaches say, 'let's get the ball in'
"But I won't tell a guy not to take it (a 3-pointer) unless it's really being abused, and Danny's come nowhere near that."
The only people being abused are the Celtics' opponents.
On Jan. 4, Ainge sank all six of his 3-point shots in a nine-point victory over Utah. On Jan. 13, he hit four of seven against Detroit, and two days later he made five of six against Sacramento. Boston romped in both games.
"There's been a lot of games this year where Larry and I have put teams away with our 3-point shooting, particularly in the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter," said Ainge, who has tried at least one 3-pointer in each of his 35 games and will try to extend his streak Wednesday night against Phoenix.
