Old Man's Cunning

Light Heavyweight Champion Archie Moore (40, going on 46), world's most successful practitioner of the art of athletic geriatrics, was a little slow sweating down to size for his title fight with Challenger Tony Anthony, 22. But ageless Archie finally got down to the 175-lb. limit, hiked up a high-waisted pair of bloomerlike trunks that protected his belly, and went to work. Tony never had a chance. The old man's cunning kept the young man's blows bouncing off arms and shoulders. When Archie rolled out of his shell, his still-swift hands were right on target. Only the bell saved Anthony at the end of the sixth round; it did not ring soon enough to save him from a knockout in the seventh.
