Amazing Ayala wins again
United Press International
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — There
are those who consider 18-year-
Tony Ayala the heir apparent
to the junior middleweight title
Sow held by Sugar Ray Leonard
Jnd Wednesday night he showed
why.
Ayala, fighting shortly before
eonard stopped Thomas Hearns
in the 14th round to win the world
welterweight championship, had
: most impressive performance
the evening. The youngster
bom San Antonio needed just 69
seconds to knock out Jose Ba-
quedano, the former Mexican
welterweight champion.
Ayala, who has not lost a fight
since he was 8, reeled off his 14th
consecutive victory without a loss
when he dropped Baquedano with
a left hook to the head. Baquedano
was unable to rise for nearly 10
minutes after the fight, enabling
Ayala to record his 12th knockout.
“I knew after the first left hook
that I was going to take him out, ”
said Ayala. “But I give him a lot of
credit because he came to fight.
When you’ve knocked out the
guys that he’s knocked out, why
should you worry about a little kid
from San Antonio.”
Among Baquedano’s victories
was a first-round knockout of Mar
cos Geraldo, who went 10 rugged
rounds with Leonard.
In earlier preliminaries, un
beaten Edwin Rosario of Puerto
Rico scored his 20th consecutive
victory with a unanimous 10-
round decision over James Mar
tinez, and fast-rising heavyweight
Marvis Frazier ran off his sixth
straight victory by stopping Guy
Casale after four rounds.

14th-round TKO worth $8 million
Leonard tops feisty Hearns
United Press International
LAS VEGAS, Ney. — Even
with the $8 million he’ll get for his
14th-round technical knockout
over Thomas Hearns, Sugar JRay
Leonard short-changed himself a
bit.
“I proved my point,” he said
after the fight, wearing dark glas
ses to cover a bulging purplish
welt under his left eye. “I proved
I’m the best welterweight in the
world.”
That he did. Plus a little more.
He proved he could take it on
the jaw from a fighter like the
lanky, dangerous Hearns, and he
also proved he has a good enough
punch himself to dissipate the no
tion that he’s basically a stylish
boxer and little of anything else.
The first words Leonard said to
Mike Trainer, his longtime friend
and adviser, after the fight was
over, suggested that Leonard
knew there was a question among
some people about those two
points.
“We did it!” he said to Trainer.
“We showed ‘em.”
“I pulled this one out by
reaching down into my guts, into
my heart,” said the now undis
puted world welterweight champ.
“I knew I had to reach down and
pull out the reserve and I did it. ”
He did it at an enormous cost,
however.
Although he was clearly in com
mand when referee Dave Pearl
stopped the fight and waved him
off Hearns in the loser’s comer at
1:45 of the 14th round, Leonard
was in no condition to celebrate
his victory by running around the
block. He appeared at the post
fight news conference along with
Hearns, then immediately went
up to his Caesars Palace hotel
room and collapsed in exhaustion
on his bed.
Leonard and Hearns actually
fought two fights in one. Heams,
who received $5 million as his
share of the purse, started out like
the whirlwind he had been adver
tised to be, winning the first five
rounds on one judge’s scorecard
and four of those five rounds on
the cards of the other two.
But the sixth round was
altogether different. That was the
round in which Leonard suddenly
took the initiative. It was at this
juncture much of the steam sud
denly seemed to leave Hearns.
Whether it was because he was
tired or because he couldn’t for
mulate an adequate defense, he
allowed Sugar Ray to press his
advantage in the seventh, eighth
and ninth rounds.
Hearns rallied momentarily in
the 10th but still wasn’t the same
fighter he had been in the early
part of the contest.
After Heams picked up the
pace somewhat to take both the
11th and 12th, Leonard gave a
foreshadowing of things to come in
the 13th when he thundered into
Hearns with such fury and force
with both hands, he nearly drove
him through the ropes.
Hearns, who never had been
knocked to the canvas before and
actually still wasn’t, was so help
less sitting on one of the rope
strands that Pearl began counting.
The referee reached the count of
nine when the bell rang, which
was just about the time Hearns
moved off the ropes.
Leonard was after Hearns like a
flash to start the 14th, hammering
away at him relentlessly with bpth

hands. Heams again sought re
fuge in the ropes and by then the
outcome was so clear in Leonard’s
mind that he raised both hands in
a victory gesture even before
Pearl stopped the fight.
Behaving perfectly at the end,
Leonard didn’t rub it in on Hearns
at the news conference. He said
the loser was “not just a good fight
er, but proved he was a market
able commodity” and had given
him the toughest fight he had ever
had. He also apologized to Hearns
for having said he had “no brains”
before the fight.
“I asked him if he was hurt at
the end of the sixth round,”
Leonard said, “but he didn’t re
spond. ”
Hearns said Leonard had hurt
him but he still had his wits about
him in the 14th and felt the referee
shouldn’t have stopped the con
test when he did.
“I knew I was ahead,” Hearns
said. “He’s a very good fighter and
I would like to say there is no ani
mosity between me and Ray. De-
fintely. I’d like a rematch. I did
the best I could but it just wasn’t
good enough. As they say in Dej-
troit, T shall be back.’”
He managed a smile.
“Better luck next time,” he
wished himself.
