"Ray Patterson, younger brother of Floyd, is making quite a reputation on this side of the briny. Patterson's latest advance was when he battered Johnny Prescott, onetime challenger for the British heavyweight championship, to a standstill. Referee Bill Williams came to Prescott's rescue in the 5th round, with the Briton unable to defend himself." -Ring Magazine, September 1966 issue
