    Sonny Liston Hynotised to Fight Patterson???



    10 September 1962



    Vintage Original UPI Telephoto Photograph



    Veteran boxing writer Frankie Mastro drives a left hook to the body of John Lane at the September 10, 1962 meeting of the Illinois Boxing Commission. Cus D'Amoto

    requested the hearing to demonstrate that a person under hypnosis could not feel a punch. D'Amoto had Green hypnotised by Marshall Brodien.

    D'Amoto, manager of Heavyweight Champiom Floyd Patterson, charged that Sonny Liston had arranged to be hypnotised prior to the upcoming title fight so he

    Liston would not feel Patterson's punches.

    As it turned out Sonny Liston took care of putting Floyd Patterson "under" at 2:06 of the first round via a knockout.

    Rocky, thanks for posting the photos of Stanley Ketchel..
    As I have previously posted my late older Uncle ,as a youngster saw Ketchel train in Van Cortland Park,NY.When my dad or i would ask about the training session, my uncle
    would say " what a good looking guy ketchel was "!.With your pictures, I could see why !
