Refree of this fight was legendary Tommy Loughran who was one of the greatest light heavyweight champion. You should watch his fights as well, although, there is very less footage of his fights available on RUclips.
Good video and an interesting fight. You could definitely see how Boxing has changed through the years as many times as Pete was knocked down seven in all if I’m not mistaken. This fight would’ve been stopped along time ago for safety reasons Boxing is not like it used to be, but it was a good fight overall compared to Paterson Pete look like a strong amateur fighting a professional that you can’t underestimate 🧐.
This is the only time in history that an amateur fighter fought for a championship. Pete promoted the fight himself, rented Sick's Stadium and guaranteed the champ a $10,000 payday
No, this was the first time a boxer fought for the heavyweight title in his first PROFESSIONAL fight....as noted, Rademacher was the 1956 heavyweight gold medalist, Patterson the 1952 Middleweight gold medalist

Who's here after Fury v Ngannou? Respect to you if you are :)
Unbelievable first fight for title bad management
Pete was only 28 in this video? He looks like he's in his 50's.
I was impressed with Pete, he fought bravely, and got up about eight times. He was very quick for a big guy.
