(AP)- Heavyweight champion Sonny Liston. an ominous 7-1 favorite, is expected to button the lip of Cassius Clay tonight at Conva- tion Hall in a heavyweight title fight that could be a shocking $5.000.000 mismatch. Is Clay a hoax? Or a new golden boy? The true story of this 22-year-old former Olympic champion will be told when he has to put up or shut up against the man he calls “that big ugly bear." The gabby poet from Louis- ville, unbeaten in 19 pro fights. has been popping off so long that his spiel sounds like a re- corded message from an answer- ing service. “I'm the king. I'm the king. I'm the greatest. Ain't I beauti- fu. I'm too pretty to be a fighter. I'm going to whup that ugly bear. If he whups me I'll crawl across the ring and kiss his feet. I'm predicting eight to prove I'm great." That is the Clay party line, delivered with the gllbness of a carnival pibchman while he stares out int_o space.

But you have to throw away the book him off balance." says Marty Marshall of Detroit. "And don’t let him tag you with that left ok."‘ . On Sept. 7, 1954, in Detroit, Marshall, a tall. lean Negro. scored an eight-round decision over the current world heavy- weight champion—the only loss on Liston's record. “I scouted Liston in two fights before I met him," said Mar- shall, here for Liston's title de- fense tonight against Cassius 5" O ay. "I noticed he used a long, left jab and kept his right hand cocked. So I figured out a cam- paign. I moved from side to side, and counter clockwise in- stead of the normal clockwise. "He never hit me once with that murderous left hook of his. He just kept grazing my left ear." CONSIDERS COMEBACK Marshall. 33. now a receiving clerk in a Detroit paint factory, hasn't fought in four years but said he was contemplating a comeback to try to repeat his 1954 victory, "I weigh 197 pounds, only about three pounds over my best fighting weight." he said. "\I'd like another shot at this fellow." After losing to Marshall 1954. Liston avenged the set- ‘tback with a sixth-round tech- nical knockout in 1965 at St. Louis and won on decision in 1956 at Pittsburgh to make it two-out-of-three. “ 'sfon ‘ a much better fighter than when I met hlm." Marshall said.

Clay, at 6-foot-3, is two inches taller than the powerful cham- ’ with his ham-like fist and 17‘.é-inch neck. Liston flattened Patterson with his left hook after slamming to the body with his thurrplng right hand. Most observers ex- pect Clay to run and move from side to side in an effort to con- fuse and tire his 30-year-old op- ponent, who has fought only six minutes, 14 seconds since Dec. 4 , 1961. Clay's last outing was in Lon- don where he stopped Henry Cooper last June 18 after being knocked down. The champ has won 28 straight and boasts a 35-1 record with 5 knockouts.
