    Weird in the fact that while a (slight) majority favored Patterson it was mostly split both ways in the media (personally I had Ellis 8-7)...but can see it going either way.

    • The New York Times scored the fight 7-6-2 for Ellis, and the Associated Press had it 7-4-4 in favor of Patterson. In a poll of eight ringside sportswriters by United Press International, six scored the fight for Patterson and two for Ellis.
