Patterson Studies
“Swede’s Technique
By WHITNEY MARTIN
NEWTOWN, Conn., UP! — Floyd
Patterson now knows what hit him
last June 26.
For the first time, he says, he
took a peek at movies of the bout
in which he lost his heavyweight
campionship to Ingemar Johan
sson.
It was strictly a private show
ing for Floyd, his “technical ad
viser,” Joe Louis, and his trainer,
Dan Florio, and after it was over
Patterson kept any thoughts about
the film to himself.
Patterson, who will seek to re
gain his crown when he meets
Ingemar at the Polo Grounds June
20, boxed four rounds Tuesday in
the riqg set up in the abandoned
road house where he lives and
trains.
He went two rounds with a
burly Cuban heavyweight, Julio
Mederos, and then a round and
three-quarters with his brother,
Ray, 17. The second round was
cut short when Floyd clipped his
kinsman with a stout left hook.
Ray didn’t go down, but he was
in a bit of trouble.
Patterson crowded both spar
ring mates, thus following the ad
vice Louis has given him.
Patterson appeared casual and
confident, before, during and after
the workout. Louis reiterated his
opinion that Patterson should
crowd Ingemar, and keep the
Swede squarely in front of him.
Joe again referred to his bouts
with Max Schmeling, demonstrat
ing how he kept his left low after
a jab in the first fight, making him
vulnerable for Schmeling’s right.
“In the second fight I held it
like this,” Joe said, holding his
arm and shoulder high.
It was mentioned that it
wouldn’t have mattered how he
held his left in the second fight,
as Schmeling didn’t get a chance
to hit him. Joe just grinned.
