Griffith Ready To Skip Fight Friday In Oakland
Emile Griffith said he might not have shown up for the 12 round middleweight bout with Andy Heiman if it had remained Friday night at Oakland Arena. The rescheduled fight drew about 10 000 expected fans and both fighters weighed in at 2 pm EDT. Griffith, a Kennedy backer from New York, explained the postponement might have caused a suspension risk, but he believes the layoff will not hurt him. Heilman, from Los Angeles, noted the extra rest could help as he aims to improve on his 40 3 record and 21 knockouts. Griffith is guaranteed 12 500 or 27.5 of the gate, while Heilman takes 25 percent.
