			Matthew Saad Muhammad duped second-ranked Jerry Martin into punching himself into exhaustion and came back with an 11th-round knockout Saturday to retain his World Boxing Council light heavyweight title.

			Referee Larry Hazzard stopped the scheduled 15-round bout at 28 seconds into the 11th round after Muhammad threw two rights to Martin's chin, dazing the challenger.

			Muhammad controlled most of the fight, tagging Martin almost at will from the third round onward. By the 11th, Martin was wobbly and exhausted from Muhammad's roundhouse lefts.

			"Muhammad had begun to get to Martin and Martin was fighting out of desperation," said Hazzard as ringside fans booed his decision.

			"Martin's hands went down and he staggered. He was a sitting duck," Hazzard said. "His eyes went up and he was hurt."

			"He was hurt. He was hurt," Muhammad told the disgruntled crowd of about 800 high-rolling gamblers at the Golden Nugget casino hotel.

			But Martin insisted he could have continued. "I counted one, two, three, four, five, six," Martin said. "I can count. I was all right."

			Muhammad, 26, of Philadelphia, raised his professional record to 31-3-2 and 23 knockouts. Martin, 27, a native of Antigua now living in Philadelphia, has a 22-3 record.
