London, Oct. 14.
а
Britain's Henry Cooper tonight beat America's number one contender for the world title Zora Folley on points over ton rounds in heavyweight contest here tonight. The American heavyweight legend took a ten-round hammering from the lethal fist of left-hooking Henry Cooper, the quiet boy from Catford, who fought through a blindfold of blood from a badly cut eye, to beat America's quiet man. Zora Folley, on points.
Twenty-four-year-old "Our Henry" Cooper
-
who had won only two of his last eight combats joins the ranks of European heavies who are steadily eliminat ing the best of the current American generation.
COUNT OF EIGHT
Cooper went down for a count of eight in the third round from a pretty punch by massive and unexpressive Folley. He received his cut eye in the second but then he fought back brilliantly and steadily out- pointed the American with a long snaking left. This clearly upset Folley, who had only a rapid right cross
in his armoury.
Folley, aged 28, joins the other Americans who have been stopped by Europeans: Eddie Machin, former number one, who was knocked out by Sweden's Ingemar Johansson; Willie Pastrana, ped after five rounds by British heavyweight apion Brian London and Mex Miteff. defeated i round one by Ger many's Besmanoff.-France-Presse.
To Fight Patterson For World Title?
London, Oct. 14.
British boxing promoter Harry Levene claimed here tonight after Britain's Henry Cooper had outpointed Zora Folley of the USA that he wouldt arrange for Cooper to meet Floyd Patterson for the world title in London next summer.
"I shall live up to the promise I made before tonight, and Cooper will meet Patterson next summer in London," Mr Levene declared.
He said he would be on the phone later tonight to Patterson's manager, Mr Cus D'Amato, to discuss the title bout and would probably fly to the United States to meet D'Amato within a few
days.
While the Cooper camp was jubilant at Cooper's victory, Folley's manager, Mr Bill Swift, took his boxer's defeat philosa phically.
"sull," "Zora was not at his best tonight," họ said. he added, "I think he did eŋough to win."—Neuter,
