Moore Struggles to Reach 175-Pound Fight Limit
Archie Moore nears the heavyweight title defense against Carl Olson as he fights to shed weight to reach 175 pounds for the bout. Moore, listed at 196 1/4 pounds after a Las Vegas win, weighs about 180 now with five pounds to lose. Promoter Jim Norris says the expected $350,000 gate will likely fall to around $250,000 unless action improves, with ringside selling well but lower-priced tickets lagging.
