TECHNICAL KNOCK-OUT.—The referee, Ruby Goldstein, moves in and waves Ingemar Johansson away to halt the world title fight after the champion, Floyd Patterson, was floored for the seventh time in the third round at the Yankee Stadium, New York, on June 26, 1959. Johansson (background) eyes the referee as he waits anxiously to see if the fight is over. Johansson won on a technical knockout to become the first European holder of the world title since Max Schmeling. A description of the 1959 bout is printed today as one of the Eye-Witness series—chosen as an example of efficient reporting of important news.
