Patterson had to go 11 rounds to beat Brian London, then turns around and fights Ingo 6 weeks later. And loses big time to Ingo in 3 rds. No champion today is fighting championship fights 6 weeks apart if you go 11 rounds in the previous one.
Your right,but Floyd needed the work because he had fought since Harris fight what a year &1/2 before. jUST THAT iNGO UPSET HIM.INGO was a lot better then people give him credit for. That right hand of his was BEAUTIFUL, it seemed to come out of nowhere when.'/ ; Ingo seemed to be doing nothing,just ask floyd & Machen . In fact if it werent for mandatory 8 count Ingo would have regained title from Floyd!!!
Brian London was so awful it didn't really count as a defense. It's not like Patterson got in the ring with Monsters like Valdes/Williams or A level boxers Folley/Machen. Williams KO 1 London
At that time Brian London was a very hard nut to krack. He could be outpointed, but it was the first time ever that he was on the floor. Woller
