HARRY CARPENTER CONCLUDES THE STORY OF INGEMAR JOHANSSON, NEW CHAMPION OF THE WORLD

I DO NOT THINK OF HURTING THE OTHER MAN, I JUST DO IT INGEMAR JOHANSSON'S logic can be as devastating as his famed right hand.

When scorn was heaped on his training methods, and someone asked how he could justify bringing his fiancee, Birgit Lundgren, to New York, installing her in the fight camp, and spending most of his off-duty time with her, ice-cold Ingo softly replied: "Without her, I would not be happy.

Without exaggeration, the Ingo-Birgit relationship has shattered all conventional thinking about big fight training. Hard bitten critics who have covered the camp of champions since Dempsey annihilated Willard begin to wonder about the called "feminine menace."

Asked when she and Ingemar plan to wed, her consistent reply is: "I don't know. Ingemar hasn't made up his mind."

Birgit was not the only tem on the list of criticisms directed at Johnnsson's preparation for Patterson.

Certainly he spent much time watching television, and made midnight sorties Inlo New York with Brali to scoff pickled herring and ice- cream in a delicatessen, or to cha-cha in a night club.

He did no training whatever in the last six days before tha fight. All highly unconventional. However, in the five previous apart weeks he trained well, from the now famous relucianes

Inevitably one comes back to the right hand, Ingo's Bingo, the Hammer of Ther. How did It develop?.
