Clarence Hinnant NEW YORK (UP)—Light-heavy-weight contender Yvon Durelle was swamped with offers today because of his sweet-revenge kayo over Clarence Hinnant that stretched his unbeaten string to 12. The slugging Canadian fisher-r man, who stopped lanky Hinnant in the seventh round of their return TV fight at Madison Square Garden Friday night, had offers that included a proposed title fight with champion Archie Moore. But Hinnant, of Washington. D.C., who claimed the referee had done : him wrong by stopping their bruising fight at 1:46 of the seventh. dared Durelle to meet him in a third fight —a ’ ‘ rubber ’ match." Each has won a technical knockoutHinnant, who had stopped Durelle on a cut eye in the seventh round at Miami Beach last Feb. 19, was halted by Referee Harry Kessler because, "his eyes were glassy and his legs rubbery, leaving him unable to defend himself and the target of too much unnecessary..punishment." Yvon, rated third among contenders, weighed 175% pounds to Hinnant’s 171%. Hinnant is ranked eighth. But the betting was at "even money.'' Registering his 24th knockout and 47th victory in 65 fights, Durelle forced the action in every round and shook up Hinnant repeatedly with left hooks and right uppercuts to the head. He almost flattened Clarence in the sixth, when he spun him and staggered him with a right to the chin.
