Patterson Flattens Moore In Fifth For Title
Floyd Patterson, at 21 the youngest heavyweight champion, knocked out Archie Moore in the fifth round at Chicago Stadium before 14,900 fans. Patterson declared readiness to defend within three months as promoter Jim Norris discussed future bouts, including youth against experience in Miami Beach. Moore, bleeding from a third-round cut, was defeated as Patterson landed a decisive left hook and flurries. Moore hinted at retirement but dismissed it, while Patterson embraced fatherhood with a newborn daughter named Seneca and noted the gate and telecast revenues backing the victory.
