Patterson Rademacher bout blocked by Helfand opposition
Julius Helfand chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission opposes the Floyd Patterson Pet Rademacher heavyweight title bout. The NBA's stance and Washington commission review complicate the Seattle fight plan and Patterson's promoter Cus D Amato faces a tough decision. Helfand's letter to Stevens signals strong resistance to staging the match. Washington state NBA member and committee actions could influence the outcome.
