Long Count to Prevail for Title Battle in Chicago
Illinois officials unveil a two part counting rule for the Patterson Liston heavyweight title bout. If a fighter is knocked down and cannot return in 20 seconds he is counted out. If he climbs in before 18 he must take a mandatory count on his feet to reach 18. The rule mirrors the Tunney Dempsey controversy from 1927.
