The broadcast seemingly disconnected as Ellis was connecting with a clean right hand, is there anywhere where the whole last round is available? I had Patterson 2 up going into that round, but I was planning on scoring the whole fight round by round, obviously I would have had Patterson winning anyway, but if it’s by 1 round, I wouldn’t call the fight a robbery, but if he won by 3 rounds, I’d say it very much would be a robbery.
For whatever it's worth, here is Sports Illustrated's description of the last round: "If you believe that Ellis won (the referee, Harold Valan, the only official, scored it 9-6 but many newsmen had it exactly opposite), he most certainly won it in the 15th and final round. The fight appeared even until that point, but then Ellis, sensing his dangerous position, the screams from his corner piercing his ego, finally stepped out and did what he was supposed to do, did what he is capable of. He had fought a long, hard fight but he reached back for what was left in his hurt body and laid it all on Floyd. He dug a left into Floyd's liver and stayed right on him and in the middle of the round he caught him with a pair of whistling right hands, and Patterson was on his way out. Patterson's eyes stared out blankly now, pain masking his face, but Ellis could not finish him."
