Under 185lb Tournament, Round 1: # 6 Floyd Patterson vs # 27 Victor Galindez

Laying back and seeing out Floyd Patterson doesn't sound like a very good idea. Galindez gets cut up and TKO'd.

 

I like Patterson, in fact I think he's ****ing outstanding at this poundage. On a styles analysis I think this is a hige problem for Galindez, and that's any Galindez. Him taking the fight to Floyd as he did in his earlier days would be a problem because yes you can hurt Floyd Patterson but you're just asking him to open up on you, which isn't great. If Galindez takes the counter punching approach to this one then he's going to find it difficult to counter so many rapid punches which pack power, although Galindez has a better chance of dropping Patterson with his short counter rights doing this.

Patterson for me

 

Floyd, Galindez liked to back up on the ropes and counter.I see that as being all wrong against the quick hands of Patterson.
