Actually, two judges calling it for one fighter and another judge calling it even is a MAJORITY decision, not a split decision.

These guys would be cruiserweights today.

Patterson and Quarry were good sportsmen and consummate gentlemen in and out of the ring

I wish someone would take the time to go threw all the Floyd patterson fights and digitally remaster them

The average person could not take one jab from professional fighter 😊

Floyd gave a youthful Jerry Quarry a boxing lesson but Patterson was all class like always.

I remember watching this with my Dad who observed, as I did, “Patterson has a good face.”

The days when even heavyweight boxers could actually box. Marvellous contest from two great sportsmen.

You can tell by the end of the first round how Patterson was a gentleman by the pat he gave Quarry.

These really showed why Boxing is considered a Gentlemen's sport 🥊❤️

I love watching these Classic Fights.

Classy fighters who have so much respect for each other.

Love the respect shown by Patterson and quarry to each other after the fight.both fighters had a lot class and integrity you don't see that in evidence in these times.

People didn't pay to see 2 guys dance all night; they paid to see a boxing match....

Fantastic sportsmanship from Patterson

Jerry Quarry was a great underrated Boxer, God Bless you Jerry 👊

What's neat is seeing these guys moving quite well and throwing punches in bunches. Today's heavies are lumbering and, except for the most experienced, not well schooled.
Also, these guys are treating each other with respect.

That's Jimmy Lennon Sr.  Grew up in Los Angeles and would watch him annonce Pro Wrestling live from The Olympic on Wednesday nights and the fights Thursday nights.
His son, Mr "It's Show Time" still announcing big fights!

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.

Quarry-- 1965 Golden Gloves Heavyweight Champion!🥊
