Patterson Camp Reflects Brooding Over Knockout
NEWTOWN Conn Floyd Patterson trains on a 65 acre former mink farm near the Polo Grounds title shot June 20. The camp is grim and private with Dan Florio as trainer and Maestro Madriguera nearby. Patterson is haunted by last year’s Johansson defeat and studies his own fights while avoiding Johansson films. He remains deeply religious and under steady spiritual guidance as he braces for a difficult rematch.
