Patterson Poised To Knock Out Johansson In First Round
AP writer predicts heavy weight champion Floyd Patterson will overwhelm Sweden's Ingemar Johansson in the opening round at Yankee Stadium. Patterson uses a crouched, fast combination style to target the body and head, while Johansson relies on a powerful right hand and standup, orthodox technique. Patterson carries recent KO streaks and is the 3-1 favorite, with gate receipts projected near 500000 to 700000 dollars amid strong advance sales and TV revenues.
