Patterson Retains
Title - Kayos
MeNeeley in 4th
TORONTO Of) — As Tom Mc
Neeley Jr., said in tears to Tom
| MeNeeley Sr. as he left the ring
I after he had been knocked out
; in the fourth round by Floyd Pat
terson: “I tried, dad. I really
tried.”
The crowd of 7,813 that paid
$106,740 at Maple Leaf Gardens
Monday night shouted their agree
ment. When Tom Jr., left the ring
after eight knockdowns and two
[ or more “slipdowns,” they gave
the fighting Irishman a rousing
cheer.
“Each time I hit him, he kept
getting up,” said Patterson after
his successful defense of the
world heavyweight title. “He had
plenty of fight, a lot of courage.”
Patterson even tried to help Mc
Neeley to his feet after one knock
down. Asked later why he did
it, Patterson said, “Why shouldn’t
I help him? He was hurt.”
Referee Jersey Joe Walcott, the
heavyweight champ himself in
1951 and >1952, also praised Mc
Neeley’s courage.
“I thought of stopping it
earlier,” said Walcott. “But it
looked like MeNeeley had a
chance to recover. It was a cham
pionship fight and as long as it
looked like he had a chance to
continue it would have an in
justice to step it until I was sure
he couldn’t go further.”
MeNeeley had his one big
chance in the fourth when he nail
ed the champ as Floyd sailed in
for the kill after the first of three
knockdowns in the round. Patter
son wobbled and started to go
down. His glove appeared to hit
the deck but it was ruled a slip.
