I can't ever seem to find a "full version" of this fight. Is there any reason certain rounds went missing? Like on ESPN in demand the fight skips the 2nd round (among others). I'm aware this was a total drubbing, but as a purist I'd like to see the whole fight. Any reason for the missing rounds in this one?

YAWN! "Ali-Patty 1" was a very tactical and stinky sleeper... Even the TKO in round 12 was tiresome..... MR.BILL
I'm interested in the fight mainly because of Floyd Patterson. I've been writing about him and I've compiled close to 4 chapters of 25 pages each. I'm not trying to write an autobiography, but I'm trying to see if I can get enough good material to at least get an A on my final college project before I graduate this December. What I'm writing is based on "the narrative" of Floyd. First chapter; Floyd before he was shipped off to Wyltwick, Floyd learning boxing up until his first title loss, Floyd regaining then losing the title, Ali vs. Patterson I, and possibly an epilogue. I want a full version of the fight because I just want to see as many details as humanly possible.
I am extremely anal about this, personally. Oo, the rage that comes out when I have watched most of a fight on youtube and then they randomly cut out a round or even a few seconds. I say curse words that aren't even real. "You gurble! Fritch! Mansup! GAAAAAAAJ!" I just watched 14 AND A HALF of 15 rounds of Patterson/Ellis this past week. :fire:fire:fire I'd like to know if that other half a round of footage is anywhere. :thumbsup
