Heavyweight ~Giksnpion Floyd Patterson (R) is sche here sparring with ~Dusty Rhodes tuning-up for_his title bout with Roy Harris, which he won by a TKO in the 12th round.

Challenger Decks Champ in 2nd

LOS ANGELES ~ Heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson scampered off the canvas in the second round Monday night to floor little known Roy Harris, of. Cut and Shoot,
Texas, four times|in the 12th round at Wrigley Field.

Harris~ manager, Bi~! Core,
asked. referee Mushy (allahan
to stop the bout before the bell
rang to start the 13th and it
was ruled a 12th round knockout under California laws.

Harris, seeking his 23rd
straight victory and the world
title, floored Patterson with a

right ~to the chin for the count:

of four in the second round
and buckled his {knees twice
later in that session.

But then Patterson, weighing 184 1-2 pounds to Harris~
194, began to work on the
challenger~s head | and body.
In the third round, he gashed Roy~s left eyelid and
brought blood to the nose.
Harris ~fought back bravely in

the ~Texas: ~tradition but took a
terrifie battering thereafter. He
suffered a igash-at the corner
of his right eye in the fourth
round that was- bleeding profusely before ~the finish.

He also suffered |a cut in the

fifth round further back on

the right temple,

Harris bled so profusely that
even Patterson~s white trunks
were stained crimson before the
finish.

In the seventh round. Patterson floored. the ~ dark-haired challenger. with @ right te
the chin for &, count of eight.
The bell fang almost instantly thereafter and may have
saved him.

In the eighth round the bobbing and. weaving Patterson,

fighting from behind the explo
sive gloves at both sides of his
head, dropped Harris twice.

A left-right; combination sent
him.to the canvas for a count
of seven and shortly thereafter
a right. to the. head; dropped
him for the count of three.

Harris surprised by fighting |almost on. even terms in the
11th round but near the finish
he. took a. withering series of
punches to the head.

cago, Friday night.

| S"The: highly: favored Lions got

off to a fast~ start scoring the
initial touchdown in the opening minutes of the wr er quarter
but were. left with a 20-7, de~iciency at half-time. Some
_pectacular broken field run-ing on the part of Jim Pace,
of Michigan:; and);Bobpy:.Mitch- |:
dl from Illinois, plus flawless
pitching by MSU quarterback

marked the big. difference.

WHAT KIND OF CHAMP
IS PATTERSON ~

Last~ Monday. night, the 220.oo fight fans of the worldy 3
witnessed one of the
farce~s of one of the world
est sports; boxing. The soa

championship fight betweer! vege at
~World~s Heavyweight Champion,

Floyd Patterson and challenger
Roy Harris.

On August 22, 1957 Floyd Patterson easily outclassed Pete
Rademacher to retain his title.
Fans all over the world were
talking. about the unevenly
matched bout. To think that a
~advantage~ of an untried professional.

True, Rademacher was the;
Olympic Champ, but there is a~
vast difference in fighting amateurs and fighting professionals,
as Rademacher has found out in
his only two professional fights. |

Getting back to the Patterson-'
Harris walts ~ and I mean just
that, Harris had fought twenty-!
two. professional bouts without
defeat, In this period: he had!
only fought two name _ boxers,.
one that has long been over the
hill and one that is a fair boxer
but not the kind that prepares
a man for the title fight.

Sure Harris fooled Patterson,
any heavyweight fighter in the
world could do. hatt if he got
lucky or Patterson got careless.

I have long been in Patterson~s corner, but if he continues
to let his manager, Cus D~Amato,
handle him the way. he is, I will
turn my -head when ti comes
time to pat Patterson on~ the
back, Patterson has the makings
of being the greatest champ of
all times, he~ is fast, young, can
box and most of all he can hit;
bit D'Amato is letting a ~personal ~feud with the IBC ruin
the heavyweight class.
