Muhammad Ali vs. Floyd Patterson Full Ticket from November 22, 1965 in Las Vegas. Patterson lost by technical knockout at the end of the 12th round, going into the fight with an optimistic view. Patterson suffered from a ruptured sacroiliac joint in his lower back which greatly reduced his mobility after the first round, and his corner worked on his back in between rounds to help reduce the pain. Ali relentlessly jabbed Patterson from the second round until the referee stopped the fight in the 12th round. A New York Times reporter said the fight was like watching someone "pulling the wings off a butterfly." In the post-fight interview, Ali praised Patterson for being able to take punches and said Patterson's age counted against him.
