Freddie chucked holowly He'd better stay clear of
Floyd Patterson for the rest of his life" he said He
might get killed if he don't Besides, who'd want to
see them agan?"
SITTING ON RUBBING TABLE, Jackson participated
In the postfght interview by whispering snaches of
fences 1t seemed incongruous giant with ouszed
head making such small sounds that only by placing an
ear few inches from his lips could hear his words
My legs were lazy" Jackson mumbled Heretofore
his legs had been Hurricanes best assehs legs and an
nhuman ability to sop up punches.

First round, when get knocked down."
Didn't they timber up?" an interviewer asked
Never did timber up" the fighter replied auto
matcally. He spoke he had fought if by rote He
looked as if his mind million miles away
DO you think you any rounds?" man asked.
1t was barbed question: unfair in that If THE Animal"
claimed even round it would point up the scope of
his thinking When the fight stopped in the 10th by
Referee Ruby GoldStein Jackson hadn't won a round
He fell for the bait
Il win few" Hurricane whispered II could 20 all
the way but that (Goldstein), he stop me-,
IN MOVING TO THE dressing room of the 22-year-od
champion Floyd Patterson strangely coloress gladiator
VINO gives the impression of being perpetualy bored,
Godsten was encountered Jackson had been dumped
the bell in the first round again for hree-coun in the
second and one more for count of four in the ninth
When Goldstein stopped it, in round in which
Jackson didn't go down. there boos from the
bloodthirsty.
"Ninetynine people out of hundred will agree with

voice, his expression dead-pan
THE CHAMPS INTERVIEWERs blinked when Flovd
revealed that tomorrow he will to Greenwood Lake
to train for his weird engagement August % with Pete
Rademacher bading, 28 year-old who won the Olympic
Title last fall and will be making his pro debut To Floyd
however 1t didn't seem unusual He may fight often
but apparently he is training constantly.
Patterson trained for Jackson ever since he won the
Championship by knocking Archie Moore last November
So obviously 1t didn't hurt him because Hurricane asked
Floyd had improved since their first fight In June 1855
nodded affrmatively.
Freddie Brown rated the best cut man in the business
TOOK cognzance OF JackSon appraisal Of Patterson from
distance He tipped up his bag and said
Hes right about Patterson, who is improved What
Jackson don't know is that he amt the fighter he was
himself two three years ago He used to press guy all
the way. Last year he makes with a furry and
stops Hes had 1t. Patterson hit him any time he
wanted to-"
And so the fight was post-mortemed all the way back
TO Broadway where Tom Tannas who Ezzard
Charles, the former heavyweight champion gave his
opinion
Il don't think Patterson wanted to knock him out :"
Tannas said He just wanted punish jackson for all
those nasty cracks Hurricane supposed to have made

"A character, a freak?" man prompted
Hes got an unbreakable chin courage to spare and
marvellous legs Tannas sighed has everything but
ability" ~
