Patterson Punching Fury May Delay Moore Title Bout
Floyd Patterson suffered a broken fourth metacarpal in his right hand after last night's 12 round win over Hurricane Jackson. The fracture could sideline the Brooklyn prodigy for six weeks to three months, threatening the planned September world heavyweight title fight with Archie Moore at Yankee Stadium. Patterson’s 17th straight win and 30th in 31 fights came by split decision as Jackson pressed hard, especially in the body, and won praise from fans and most boxing writers despite the setback.
