In his last fight he stopped Rich "King Kong" Keller in the first round June 20. If he defeats Ribalta, a major decision on Tyson's future will probably be made in the next several days. Jacobs and Cayton must decide whether they will enter the ongoing scries to crown a undisputed heavyweight champion or go for a multi-million dollar non-title fight against Larry Holmes. "If my managers think it's a good opportunity to fight Larry Holmes, Tyson has shown signs of frustration when his fights go more than five rounds, but getting him that far has been tough.

He has scored 15 first-round knockouts, including three of his last four opponents. "We know the first round is crucial," said Louie DeCubas, Ribalta's manager. "After the first round, it's all ours."

Ribalta, whose 23-3-1 record includes a loss to Frazier, was not impressed with Tyson's knockout of the son of former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier. 4 'I think Tyson's said Ribalta, a Cuban native who lives in Miami. "He's just a strong fighter. I don't think he's a smart fighter, he just relies on strength. "Marvis Frazier doesn't take the best punch in the world.

He was just made for Mike Tyson." Ribalta said he hurt Frazier early in their bout Jast September but faded after five rounds and lost a 10-round decision. Ribalta said he wasn't ready for, the fight, because his father had recently died and he was having managerial troubles. He has since changed managers and won his last 'four fights by knockouts. The Tyson-Ribalta bout will be televised live by HBO. Tyson, a 20-year-old from Cats-kill, N.Y., is ranked first by the World Boxing Association, second by the World Boxing Council and can have a title shot whenever his managers, Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton, think he is ready.

Tyson is a heavy favorite to knock out Ribalta. However, at 6-foot-6 with an 81 1-2-inch reach, Ribalta, 23, has an eight-inch height and substantial reach advantage over Tyson. The two fighters who went the 10-round distance with Tyson James Tillis and Mitch Green were about as tall as Ribalta. Their I height forced Tyson to leave his feet when punching to the head and he lost much of his power. "My style is similar to Green and Tillis, but I consider myself a much harder puncher," said Ribalta, who has 15 knockouts.

"I'll make him respect me early in the fight." Kelly makes demands to play for Bills ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (UPI) Quarterback Jim Kelly has told the Buffalo Bills he wants $10 million over five years to play for the NFL club, a Buffalo newspaper reported Saturday. The Buffalo News said and NFL source told the newspaper that Kelly's agents gave Bills general manager Bill Polian a written proposal calling for $2 million per year over five years during a meeting Thursday in New York City. Such a contract would make Kelly the highest paid pro football player of all time. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana is believed to be the highest paid NFL player at $1.3 million a year.

Polian, who arrived in Houston Friday night for Saturday night's preseason game between the Bills and Houston Oilers, would not comment "We've given them (the Bills) a proposal," Kelly said. "It's up to them now." The Bills drafted Kelly in the first round of the 1983 NFL draft and have the NFL rights to the former USFL Houston Gamblers and New Jersey Generals quarterback until next year. Kelly was acquired earlier this year by the Generals, but never played for them because of the USFL's decision to cancel the 1986 season. If Kelly sits out the season, he will receive $800,000 guaranteed him by Generals owner Donald Trump. Kelly said that Polian told him during the meeting that if he chose to sit out the 1986 campaign and each 12 cz.
