Patterson Is Champion Os Heavyweights ’ . CHICAGO (UP) — Pantherish young Floyd Patterson, who won the vacant world heavyweight championship “with the Lord in my corner’’ Friday night by knocking out old, washed-up Archie Moore in the fifth round, announced today, "I'll be ready to defend within three months.” And promoter Jim Norris, who staged the historic age-vs .-youth fight before 14,000 at Chicago Stadium, said, “I’ll try to have this eager youngster make his first defense against an outstanding opponent at Miami Beach in February.” - Patterson, almost as elated at being a father for the first time as being the youngest heavyweight ruler in ring history, flew home today to Brooklyn to greet his six pound, two ounce daughter, born less than four hours before his triumph over 39-year old Moore. “They never told me about the baby until after the fight.” said poker-faced Floyd with the semblance of a grin. "And it was surely good news. I guess we’ll name het Seneca." 7 A "Fighting Champion** The rangy, 21-year old Negro, son of the driver of a Brooklyn garbage disposal truck, said, "I'm going to be a fighting champion.” Friday night he generally forced the fighting. He took the best punches thrown at him by Moore, who had floored the great Marciano in their heavyweight title fight in September, 1955 — and he finished Archie much more quickly than Rocky did with a ninth-round kayo in ’55. Moore, bleeding profusely from a deep cut suffered at the inside corner of his left brow in the third round, was gamely trying to make a fight of it in the fifth when the roof fell in on him. A left hook smashed into his chin and dropped him flat on his face. He managed to lurch to his feet at the count of nine, and—still game—tried to carry on; But the cat-like former Olympic middleweight champion tore into him with a barrage of head blows that dropped him again. Archie was trying to regain his feet as Referee Frank Sikora counted him out. But in the dressing room Moore complained that he had reached his feet at the count of eight and that Sikora never counted to ten. Did the fifth knockout and 21st defeat in Moore's career of 157 fights convince Archie that he should retire — that the years had caught up with him? “No, I’m not even thinking about retirement,” he said. “I’ll take a rest and then defend my lightheavyweight title against the top contender.” -- - - Moore Still LH King Archie’s 175-pound crown was not at stake Friday night. He and Floyd scaled more than the lightheavy limit. Archie weighed 187% pounds; Patterson, 182%. Floyd won the heavy title at a youthful age that beat Joe Louis’ previous record of 23 years. Floyd, an underdog at 9-5 in the late betting Friday night, was ahead after four rounds on the score cards of two of the ring officials and even on another. The gross gate of $228,145 produced a net gate of $187,585. The fee for the national telecast and broadcast was SIBO,OOO. Each fighter, receiving 30 per cent of the net gate and TV-radio money, will get approximately $110,275.
