Only Monday in Los Angeles promoter George Parnassus announced Moore had agreed to meet Argentine heavyweight Alejandro Lavorante bn a non-title bout at Los Angeles in March. Moore, who won the 175- pound division championship 9 years ago and has set a record in the length of his reign, is recognized as champion by New York, Massachusetts and Europe. He outpointed Giulio Rinaldi in New York last June 10. That was his first title defense in nearly two years.

The National Boxing Association (NBA) had iost patience with ancient Archie long before then. After several warnings and more than a year of non-title activity, it stripped Moore of recognition. Johnson, of Philadelphia, won NBA recognition by knocking out Jesse Bowdry at Miami Beach last Feb. 7. In two title defenses since.

Johnson, 33, knocked out Von Clay in April and outpointed Eddie Cotton in August. But Johnson satisfied with half a loaf. He invaded territory in the hopes of getting the full title, vengeance and a fat paycheck.
