November 8, 1968
National Maritime Union Hall ~ New York City, New York
Just 6-Weeks after getting scorched in 3-Rounds by Johnny Gause, Jeff was back in the Ring trying to prove that
his loss was a fluke.
Jeff Merritt ~ 6-1-0 {5 KO's}
vs.
Jimmy Patterson ~ 2-6-0 {1 KO}
Main Event >
Robert Davila {Peruvian Heavyweight Champion}
vs.
Paul Johnson {Floyd Patterson sparring partner}
Jeff wasted little time, as he bombarded Jimmy Patterson to the canvas in just 36-Seconds, where he was counted out
at {0:46} of the 1st Round.
Jimmy Patterson was an easy set-up, as he had suffered 3-Straight Knockout losses in the 1st Round before facing
Jeff Merritt.
