Good fight, too bad Cosell was announcing, He was awful, never shut up. I could not even hear the weights during the introductions, he keeps talking right though them.

By the modern scoring system I have this fight 113-112 for Patterson 113-113 is also a very reasonable score. Patterson outboxed Quarry by using that right lead and transitioning to leading exchanges from the outside. Quarry also began gassing out after the 7th which made it safer for Floyd to exchange with him in the pocket. Those 2 knockdowns in the 2nd and 4th are what "won" Quarry this fight.

22:59 damn i felt that

Ringo se entreno mal para esta pelea y se lesionó su mano izquierda.

Very entertaining fight, Liston's opponent had some skills. I can see now why Liston had trouble putting him away.

Patterson was a totally different class to the top British heavyweights around in that period. Brian London got the same treatment.

Didn't see this as a Patterson win. Certainly not a unanimous one. It smacked of a hometown/sentimental decision for Floyd. I think you could argue that Oscar sneaked it through his more consistent aggressive intent, while Floyd spent a lot of time simply bouncing up and down out of range. However an overall fairer decision would have been a draw

That jab man R.I.P Charles sonny Liston hope to meet you some time in the afterlife.

Par de boxeadores mediocres, no aportaban nada de buen boxeo y por supuesto no daban emoción.

Liston's "stamina" problem while he went the distance 11 times (10 wins, 1 loss with a broken jaw) before this fight. Cosell has to be the worst ring commentator of all time 🤡

down under is Australia, not Argentina.

Was Patterson the last fighter to have class, and humility? He was one of a kind. London looks like he trained downing pints of beer.

Joe Frazier would have TKO Patterson between 6th -9th rounds, Bonavenia, Paterson could have been draw it wasn't no Unanimous decision for paterson

This is Sonny somewhere near his best 58-61, he looks a lot slicker and leaner than when he fought Clay 5-6 years later, even though the weights appeared similar, he didn't quite get the K O, but have read he often carried opponents extra rounds, so wouldn't put other boxers off facing him?

Patterson, my idea of what a Heavyweight Champion is…

When in grade school. I was bullied a lot. Everytime I get beat. I would say. Man I wish. I could punch. Like Sonny!

I thought Paterson won. I usually don't hate people, but the fact that Quary became a brain dead vegatable makes me happy.

Shortly after Patterson's death, I was listening to a world title fight on the radio (I can't even remember who was fighting). Before the fight the ring announcer called for 10 seconds' silence in memory of Patterson, while the ring bell was rung 10 times. Of course some drunken motormouths in the audience couldn't keep quiet, and continued to mouth off during the 10 seconds. It was most disrespectful to a great champion and I was disgusted.

Liston was probably at his peak in 1958 and by the time he threw the second Ali fight, he was on a downslide. I can't see a peak motivated Liston getting stopped by Ali

Thanks for the video, SPORTLEGENDX111

Bonavena got robbed in his fight with Frazier, had him floored twice in the second round and it went 10 rounds. Frazier pressed the action as usual, but Bonavena scored more overall, shitty NYC judging.

Liston could easily be considered the best heavy ever. The Clay fights are sadly marred with controversy

Cosa dire di joe Louis un mito come i suoi rivali quelli erano tempi duri x chi voleva vivere di pugni oggi e molto più facile ad ogni modo tanto di cappello alla nobile arte baci

Wow. This fight has more exciting action that the Thrilla In Manilla.

Floyd Patterson was my boyhood hero. I would read the sports page report on his fights, since tv was in its infancy in the 1950's, I did not get to view Patterson's fights. To view Patterson throwing combinations with the hand speed not ever matched in heavyweight history. In this fight Brian London was challenging Floyd for his Title as Champ. Brian was older than Floyd by several years. He had already been the Heavyweight Champion of Britain before losing it to Henry Cooper by decision. I don't know how many viewers of this 1959 fight between Patterson and London could appreciate the rugged toughness of Brian London in his fight with Patterson. Floyd was at the tip-top of his game! His punching combination speed was already legendary when he fought Brian London. Brian put up a fight and was gradually worn down until the 11th round when Floyd knocked out Brian. Many viewers of boxing overlook the toughness that is demanded of a fighter to keep fighting even though he knows his efforts will not be enough to win. That's tough! That was Brian London! Always came to the fight in shape, and fit to a T. I followed Brian's career as much as local tv broadcasting would permit. I read the Ring Magazine cover to cover trying to keep up with the latest fight reports but in those days nothing came easy. I also got the Ring's competition in boxing reporting, this was "Boxing Illustrated". They had the official weight class rankings, along with the non-official top 50 fighters in all weight classes. I loved this as those ratings in both magazines was important in getting to know the fighters of that time period (1959). May Brian and Floyd both "Rest In Peace". Both had many fans following them and cheering for them in their fights.

Me pareció haber visto ganador a Floyd Patterson. Pero igual, buena pelea. Saludos desde Argentina

Jackson was one tough guy, absorbed a lot of punishment and never quit, The referee stoped the fight to protect Jackson, who was hospitalized after this fight.

Floyd Patterson made a successful first defence of his world heavyweight title at the Polo Grounds on 29th July in 1957 when he stopped Tommy 'Hurricane' Jackson in the tenth round. Referee Ruby Goldstein had seen quite enough of Jackson absorbing, in round after round, punches that no man should be asked to endure. For all Jackson's vaunted stamina, and it is almost beyond belief, the cumulative effect of the head beating he suffered must, in the end, be of lasting damage. Jackson was hospitalised five hours after the fight with a bruised kidney. Jackson, who had blood in his urine, remained under observation for several days. Patterson visited Jackson in the hospital the day after the fight. Cus D'Amato, Patterson's manager, expressed full satisfaction with Patterson's performance, though he seemed puzzled when Goldstein stopped the fight. So did Patterson. Both wanted a clear KO. "He was extraordinary," D'Amato said of Jackson. "No one could take the punches he took." "Jackson kept telling me in the clinches to come out and fight. He called me a bum. That's a funny way to describe a man who's winning the fight," Patterson said after the fight.

Joe's balance was off the charts. He winged crisp short punches from both hands, but never seemed to overswing or lunge. Beautiful.

Dude almost hit the deck from Sonny's devastating jab.

jounson duck all who could beat him overrated

Que barato!!! Esses caras se divertiram pra valer!

Whitehurst was REALLY brave. He didn't run away.

Angelo Dundee once said Floyd Patterson could have been the greatest light heavyweight ever.But thats not where the money was. He won his Olympic medal as a middleweight.

Jess Willard, victory!!❤

When this fight took place in 1972, I was but 21-years old. I had become a big Patterson fan after his tremendous comeback win to regain his Title against Johannson. So did a lot of my boxing friends become fans of Floyd Patterson, not only his comeback win, but the way he conducted himself inside and outside the ring. We mourned after his two losses to Liston, then Floyd comes back yet again with big wins over good fighters, a young George Chuvalo being one of those wins. Then his loss to Ali, really turned many of us against Ali, for his despicable treatment of Floyd before the fight and during the fight. His lack of respect for the former champion was offensive to many boxing fans! Patterson had injured his back during this fight, severely, but continued on, doing the best he could under the circumstances. Floyd was not done yet with boxing. His hand speed had not slackened any, he could still throne those 3-punch combos with lightening speed. Floyd Patterson was a positive influence for young men entering into the boxing world. He never belittled an opponent. before, during, or after the fight was over. He was a quiet and reserved man. He was the kind of man that a father would want his son to grow up and be like. In short, Floyd was a gentleman inside and outside the ring. Patterson was one of several heavyweights that were involved in a boxing tournament to determine the new Champ. Ali had been stripped of his Title for his "refusal" to answer his countries call for duty (Draft). Floyd fought Jerry Quarry two different times in this Boxing Tournament. I saw both fights, and many boxing fans felt Floyd got robbed in the first fight that led to the second fight with Quarry. For myself, and others, I've spoken with about these two fights with Quarry, we thought that Floyd won the first fight that was ruled a draw and the same felt the same way in fight two. Floyd was "robbed" in both fights! A short while later, Floyd would fight the winner of the Boxing Tournament, Jimmy Ellis. Once again "ring robbery" reared its ugly head. Floyd broke the Champ's nose in the first round, dropped him in round 14, only to have a"clear cut" knock down ruled a slip. A referee, Harold Valan, that must have been drunk, crazy, or watching another fight to come up with his 9/6 win for Jimmy Ellis. Floyd was, in reality, a 3-time Heavyweight Champion, another ring robbery against Patterson. Floyd would have several fights "stolen" from him by bad or blind judges! The Joey Maxim fight before Pattersons wins the Title, his two-fights with Quarry being highway robbery cases, and this fight with Jimmy Ellis where the attending fans would scream, shout, and stomp this terrible call by referee Harold Valan. Yeah, I was and still am, a Floyd Patterson fan even after he lost his title. We, his fans, would cheer his wins, and mourn his few losing efforts. His conduct as a man and Heavyweight Champ was second to none! That's why he was loved and cheered for!

I wonder why Baer wore those trunks with the Jewish star on them? Thumbing his nose at Hitler (who had just been elevated Reich chancellor in 1933 by Hindenburg)?

To me Liston's biggest attributes were his size and strength. Not a particularly technical boxer. I can see why he failed against Ali.

When I was a kid , Patterson was recognized as a great boxer , with good punching power and speed . But he was almost universally described as having a “ glass jaw”. What went unnoticed was that he was really just a small light heavyweight. Lighter men can sometimes hit as hard or even harder than bigger opponents. However, they cannot take a punch as well.

Damn Sonny was good. Bert was a savage too.

Come on Floyd work behind jab u telegraphing u short work his body

HOWARD ................SHUT THE HELL UP DURING THE INTROS .................... !!!!!!!!

I lived about 3 blocks from this location...61 years later!

Would have loved to seen Liston go toe to toe with Tyson.

Floyd Patterson.....a class act!
