EXPERTS FAVOUR BOTH ROBINSON
AND MOORE
If The Older Men Still Have The Hand Speed
By OSCAR FRAWLEY
New York, Sept. 17. The odds makers have established Carmon
Basilio and Tony. Anthony as
the favourites in two imminent title fights but experts are giving the advance nod to Ray Robinson and Archie Moore, Basilio is 8 to 5 to take the middleweight title from Sugar Ray at Yankee Stadium next Monday night. And Anthony is 6 to 5 to knock the light heavyweight diadem off old Archie's patent leather locks at Los Angeles on Friday night.
But those who make boXIDE their business, warning that these are a couple of bouts in which it would be wise not to invest too much money, hin! that a "munt" bettor should go for the short ond.
The question, la both bouts. ls whether the elder partielpant still has the hand speed to Innel a good night set of knuckles on the younger man's jawbone. Everything Cisc Is window dressing.
to Moere would
have the most difficult assignment. He must pare down from more than 200 pounds to the 176 pound mit and, at 41, he is spotting Anthony an impressive total of 19 years. Robinson is only six-or maybe seven... years older then Basilo and has had no weight problem.
CAULIFLOWER CANYON
Archie claims, however, that he learned n secret reducing Dystem from nn Australion oborigine and that ho can shed the weight without losing strength. If this be so, the pertinent question as seen by the clam along cauliflower conyon is whether he still can purich with the old-time Moore rupidity.
If he can, they say Anthony is in for rugged evening
Because while the young New Yorker has speed, a good punch and is a smart boxer, he has o china chin. Tony has kayoed 24 rivals in 36 bouts. Yet of the four fights he lost he was stiffened in each,
Eight men, who are frequent- ly as wrong as anybody else, can't understand the Basilio favourism. They hold that if Robinson has a weight edge of about eight pounds, which he probably will take Into the ring, it will mean much in the way of fire power.
Dr Vincent Nardiello, a long- time Commission examiner of athletes, holds that Sugar Ray physically is better than Jersey Joe Walcott Woo when tbut muscular harvel won the heavyweight Alle at
an agr estimated variously from 38 To 40.
AS GOOD AS EVER
"Robinson is a remarkable athlete and his legs look s good as ever," Nardiello insists, His hand speed may have

slowed a little bal he still is cne of the greatest lighters, pound for pound, in ring his- tory."
Nardiello, it mist be em-. phasised, also is Robinson's per- sual physician and close friend.
But experts accept his analysis and figure that Robinson idi bust uplasilio in about eight bents for a TKO and probably stow him away in that time.
Basilio, one of the toughest body punchers of recent times. has other ideas, inolrly wound- ing Robinson until he runs out of gas.
There is great contrast between the _challengers.. Anthony knows what it caus to be flogged into limbo, Basilio never has been kayood. But, then. the experts reply, neither kund
