Show Pe THE HERALD, Provo. Utah. Sunday. March 8 27, 1983 Holmes Returns Home to Defend Title - SCR ANTON, Pa. (UPI) Before he retires, possibly this year, Larry Holmes wants to take care of a few things like defending his World Boxing Council heavyweight championship where his pro career started and making Eood on a nromise tn pi vp French man Lucien Rodgriguez a title shot. He'll do both Sunday in a televised (NBC) scheduled 12- rounu bout at Watres Armory. And, the unbeaten Holmes will have no trouble taking care of Rodriguez, the European heavyweight champion who is ranked ninth by the WBC. The fight comes 10 years and six days after Holmes won his first d decision a pro fight at Scran-ton'- s over Rodell Dupree Catholic Youth Center. Sunday's bout, Holmes' 14th title defense, will be held at the larger armory, which seats 6,800. "Money's not the issue in this fight," said Holmes, 41-- 0 with 30 four-roun- knockouts. "This tight is for the people of Scranton. This is the homecoming fight." While it may be a homecoming for Holmes, who lives in nearby Easton, it will be a rude welcome for Rodriguez, George Ranter, Rodriguez' American representative, said Holmes met Rodriguez four years ago in Paris and told him, "You get up that ladder and I give you my word I'll meet you one day." 35-7-- 1. may weli wish Holmes was not a man of his word. It took the Frenchman four tries to beat Alfredo Evangelista, On Sunday, Rodriguez the Spanish heavyweight who has lost everytime he's faced a legitimate contender. Holmes, however, denies the fight is a mismatch. "This is a world-clas- s fight," said Holmes. "I didn't rank Lucien Rodriguez. This man has worked and worked hard and I think he deserves his shot at the title." Rodriguez, 31, who gave Holmes a bottle of champagne in appreciation of the champion's keeping his promise, can onjy hope that Holmes has taken him too lightly. "I think the more confident Larry is, the better off we are," said Kanter. "I think he's taking this fight too lightly and I think he's in for a surprise. There are two Larry Holmes Larry Holmes the great fighter and Larry Holmes the businessman. I'm not sure which one we're fighting." Holmes said they will be sure after the fight. "They'll see that Sunday when I knock him out," said Holmes. Kanter said Rodriguez, who works as a meter reader, would not predict a knockout of Holmes but added: "He came to America to win the fight and that's what he intends to do. He told me that he feels he will win on points in 12 rounds." Holmes' last title defense was a decision over lopsided - el 4-- game-winnin- netminder. later, Salt Lake's Ralph Klassen fired what he A few minutes shot, thought was a game-tyin- g but goal judge Jack Lindquist ruled otherwise and referee Bill McCreary didn't reverse the decision. Klassen was so upset he pounded the protective glass behind the goal with his stick and after the game was over he had a few words to say to Lindquist. "The puck hit the pipe," Lindquist said in the press box a few minutes after the game was over.

Merae Pardoe, the other senior on the team, is temporarily sidelined with a pulled thigh muscle. - "It's too bad we didn't have better competition for Tine (Holding) and Karen (Mulvehal) in the past," said coach Ann Valentine. "Until this year, they've had to play down the ladder. Yet Tina is now at the top, coming on strong as an exciting player, and Karen is a steady, reliable, consistent team player who wasn't thrown into the fire this year as quickly as Tina was." "I don't believe I've ever had a team play up to their potential the way this one has. Everybody is playing about as well as they can. ' ' By winning eight of their last 10 matches, BYU has reached the 0 500 mark with a ledger. '. the growing confidence of the team is summed up by Provo sophomore Leslie Pearce who says, "Tennis has become fun again." Playing midway on the ladder, Pearce has won her last six singles matches, and is teamed with Mulvehal in number one doubles with a 13-- 7 record. "Our new players Lesley Fox, Susie Hunter, Helen Christiaanse and Lori Leighton are beginning to fit into the mold," Valentine. "Our big challenge is to play well at the Texas Invitational in April where we hope to knock off ranked teams. We want to be in the top twenty again." BYU I Cal t Poly Pomona Singles: Tina Holding.
