Patterson Keeps Heavyweight Crown;
Jackson in Hospital After Mauling
NEW YORK, (tf)—Heavyweight
champion Floyd Patterson yester
day planned the luxury of a day
and a half of loafing following
his butchering of Tommy tHurri
cane) Jackson in the title fight
now called the “slaughter on
I Eighth Avenue.”
Then the 22-year-old champ
will resume training for his “fan
tastic” title defense against Pete
Rademacher, the balding, Olym
pic heavyweight champion of
1956, at Seattle, Aug. 22.
For his “shutout” tenth round
technical knockout of the -game,
tamed Hurricane at the Polo
Grounds, Patterson earned a
guaranteed $175,000. For his de
fense against Rademacher, who
never has fought pro, the fast
striking fctleholder will collect a
$250,000 guarantee.
Weighing the heaviest of his
career at 184 pounds and punch
ing with blinding speed, Patter
son scored his 19th straight vic
tory and may have ended the
fistic career of Jackson.
The 25-year-old 192-lb. chal
lenger from New York had been
knocked from head to toe in al
most every round by Patterson.
Five hours after he was KO’d
by Patterson, Jackson was taken
to a hospital with a urinary con
dition.
Hospital authorities said Jack
son’s condition was fair. They
were awaiting results of medical
tests undergone by Jackson.
It had not been determined
whether the ailment had any con
nection with the fight.

EAST MEADOW, N.Y., UP)—
Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson said
today he intends to continue his
fighting career, as he prepared to
leave the Meadowbrook Hospital
against the advice of physicians.
He signed a paper releasing the
hospital from all responsibility.
