Eddie Machen, newly backed by Walter Minskoff in Beverly Hills, signs a five year agreement guaranteeing a minimum $1,000 monthly salary. Any earnings above that are split two-thirds to Machen and one-third to Minskoff as sponsor.
Eddie Machen, recently hospitalized after a violent episode with his wife and three children at home, has begun to recover. After months of treatment and a six week effort, psychiatrists see promise in his return to business and a calmer outlook, though past disturbances linger as he works to live maturely with his problem.
The heavyweight rival predicts a Liston title bid and argues Floyd Patterson must avoid his left while Liston fights back. He criticizes Patterson’s approach and defends his own boxing style as a hard charging, strategic attacker.
The article recalls Sonny Liston's prediction that Patterson is his toughest foe to date and recalls Liston's remarks on Williams and Machen. It notes Patterson's chin and Liston's confidence, with Costa joining Lamar Tech after Paris Junior College and a cited phone staredown.
