"Floyd Patterson scored a unanimous 10 round decision over Terry Daniels of Dallas, Texas, Wednesday night before a crowd of 5,789 at the Cleveland Arena. The 36 year old Patterson labeled his opponent as very tough. It was the fourth victory for Patterson since he came out of a two-year retirement last October. Patterson knocked down his 24 year old Texas opponent in the 3rd and 9th rounds, but was never able to land the finishing blow. He was in command the entire bout, landing most of the punches. Daniels finished with cuts on the head and above the right eye, a swollen face below his right eye and a very sore nose, which bled occasionally during the bout." -Associated Press
