NEW YORK, Sept 24--A Sugar Ray Robinson-Carmen Basilio rematch in June probably will emerge from the smoke screen of conflicting reports following last night's bitter 15-round brawl at Yankee Stadium.
Basilio, the battle-scarred new middle-weight champ, said he was undecided to continue fighting as middleweight or welterweight and wouldn't decide for about 10 days.
In the bitter disappointment of defeat, the 37-year-old Robinson said last night, "I don't know whether I'll ever fight again." He was incommunicado today.
