Ingemar Johansson vs Floyd Patterson II - June 20, 1960 - Rounds 4 & 5

[ezzthemc]

Did they really need to show the whole round in slow motion? Including the count?

[Ialwaysrally]

Had Patterson chosen to fight as a light heavyweight instead of as a heavyweight, he would have never been beaten by any other light heavyweight.

custamato is great trainer: flyod patterson and tyson

[MelC54]

"OUCH"

[itsme111478]

Damn, after that monster KO punch, I wouldn't have have blamed Ingo if he'd never stepped in a ring again.

[shiray99]

LOOKKK AT MY BIG COUSIN I NEVER GOT TO MEET HIM BUT STILL FLOYD PATTERSON IS THE BEST he is my mothers mother fathers sister or brothers son HAHAHA I LUV SAYIN THT

[TheEmsann]

Norden för evigt!

[BruceinFalkirk]

Nice to see referee Arthur Mercante passed the habit of counting to 10 over a man who wouldn't beat a 100 count on to his son.

This KO is like Ruddock-Dokes in its brutality and finality.

[BruceinFalkirk]

@1899sharkey - always nice to see someone stick the subject.

Be glad that Earnie Shavers isn't after you again.

[googeyman31]

Wow what a great guy Patterson was. First thing he does after claiming the world title is to check how his apponent is doing. Such a gentleman.

[conewells]

I loved Ingo but he sure was the worst champion ever, sitting on his title and making Hollywood movies for a whole year.

[TheEmsann]

INGO,INGO,INGO,INGO!!!

@TheEmsann You mean twitchy?

[TheEmsann]

@Proverbs1533

What do you mean? ??? 

[guillegoleador]

Ingemar Johansson se parece a wayne rooney jaja

[Shirishama1]

wow his foot was twitching

[ormandy]

One of the sweetest punches ever thrown dead on target leaving him out cold! Classic!

[vgr112261]

Oh man, that was one helluva shot. Spun his head all the way to Sweeden!

[TheSubwaysurfer]

That left reminds e of the one Joe hit Ali with in their first bout. You get low, then spring off the legs to fire it like a rocket. Awesome punch.

[MelC54]

@TheSubwaysurfer The only difference was that Frazier's caught Ali more on the jaw, Patterson's caught Ingo at the point of the chin. If Joe had hit Ali on the chin, Ali probably would have been ko'd too.

[TheSubwaysurfer]

Gotta live Patterson. The guy Knocks you out and is the first guy kneeling over you to find out if you're alright. Floyd could have understandably been dancing around the ring in celebration, but his immediate thought was the safety of his opponent. Man, you can't buy that kind of class and compassion today. This is one of the reasons his fans loved him.

[XxAshMorningstarxX]

the commentator sounds like he's doing a fucking documentary on dinosaurs or somthing hahaha he's voice is sooo deep haha

[MelC54]

@XxAshMorningstarxX The announcer is Chris Schenkel, that little rat-faced bastard from abc Sports.

[GeicoSoilder]

even cleaner Gazelle punch at 8:32

[GeicoSoilder]

Cleaaaaannnnn Gazelle punch at 3:51

[JackassHill]

4:25 Patterson spins Johansson around. I would have returned the favor from the first fight. Floyd was a better man than me.

[gibememoni]

One of the most vicious left hooks that i've ever seen land. Floyd later admitted he put 100% into that one

[MelC54]

@gibememoni A reporter once asked Patterson if it was the hardest punch he'd ever thrown and Floyd replied "I don't know, I know I've never TRIED to throw a harder one". LOL

[duane1073]

Ingemar's foot twitchin on the canvas..YIKES

[randomdreamcastn64]

8:31 gazelle punch

[MrTClubber]

Floyd cemented his legacy as a warrior and a legend among the Heavyweight Champions by defeating Ingemar Johansson in their return bout. Before that Floyd was loosing popularity due primarily to his defences of heavyweights that did not deserve those matches. Ingemar Johansson had an awesome record amongst the best heavyweights in the world, especially his defeat of Eddie Machen who was ranked No 1, that fight gave Floyd his due respect. Because he was a man that proved himself to be worthy

[BryantFinlay]

note to the referee: when a guy's foot is quivering, you stop the fight immediately. you don't bother with the count

[tw69hands2]

@BryantFinlay:

Tell me about it! That's a seizure taking place right there.

[BryantFinlay]

@tw69hands2 What can I say: some referees are dopes.

[IslamGuideCom]

First ever two-time heavyweight champion of the World = Floyd Patterson.

First ever three-time = Muhammad Ali.

[bloodlinehunter]

floyd is always such a gentleman, on of my favorite fighters of all time.
