Williams Vows to KO Clay in Houston Title Fight
Cleveland Williams declared he will knock out Cassius Clay when they meet in Houston for the world heavyweight title on November 14. After a seven round workout, Williams criticized his lack of early energy but praised Clay’s recent film study and readiness. In Mexico City the United States edged the Soviet Union for unofficial gold in the Little Olympics, with Seagren tying the Olympic pole vault record and Tummler winning the 1500 as Grelle faded after a long race.
