TONIGHT at Comlskey Park in Chicago, i-‘loyd Patterson and Sunny Liston will clash for the heavywcight boxing championship

of the world. Liston. the challenger, is a

quiet-spoken champion in this near six-million dollar production. ‘inc ioiks are figuring that the hard-hit.r.ln;; challenger will get to Floyd early in thcfight and that once he is felled by one of Lis- ten 5 punches, he Will stay down for the count.

Those who figure this way remind us of those who already have sent Patterson reeling to the canvas. Some of those who per- formed such a feat are not given much recognition by light ex- perts. The Liston supporters will tell you that Liston can hit ucn these other opponents and that once gets a solid one in there, things will end abruptly.

Backers of the challenger point out that other challengers have hit Patterson and floored him despite his boxln: superiority. That being the case. they argue that Liston will be able to find his opening and let Floyd have the punches that are certain to put him into an early sleep.
