Patterson eluded his 215-pound foe for a minute, and then Liston connected with a pair of vicious right uppercuts, followed by a virtual sledgehammer blow to the head. Patterson went down for the first time. Liston then backed Patterson against the ropes, pummeled him across the ring, and floored the broading boy from Scarsdale, N.Y. with a solid left...

Before the siege of Harfleur, his "Once more unto the breach" harangue does not ring as it ought; it is a clarinet instead of a clarion (but it is still an improvement over Laurence Harvey's weak effort with the Old Vic a few seasons...
