	~~"Willie Pastrano of New Orleans, given the brush-off by world heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, is keeping in shape at the expense of some of Britain~~'s best sluggers. The 4th ranked contender scored his third victory in a British ring in six months Monday night by outpointing Joe Bygraves, former British Empire heavyweight champion, in a 10 round bout before an estimated 6,000 fans. Pastrano, who had previously whipped Dick Richardson and Brian London at London, failed to floor Bygraves but remained in command most of the way with clever footwork and a flicking left jab." -United Press		'''From United Press:'''

	*Pastrano's ~~purse~~ - ~~$14~~,000		Willie Pastrano of New Orleans, given the brush-off by world heavyweight champion [[Floyd Patterson]], is keeping in shape at the expense of some of Britain's best sluggers. The fourth-ranked contender scored his third victory in a British ring in six months Monday night by outpointing Joe Bygraves, former British Empire Heavyweight champion, in a 10-round bout before an estimated 6,000 fans. Patterson and-or his manager, [[Cus D'Amato]], will not give Pastrano a title shot because Willie is considered a member of the [[International Boxing Club]] camp, which the Patterson-D'Amato faction bolted two years ago. Pastrano, who had previously whipped [[Dick Richardson]] and [[Brian London]] at London, failed to floor Bygraves but remained in command most of the way with clever footwork and a flicking left jab. Bygraves, a native of Jamaica, B.W.I., who now lives in Liverpool, shook loose Pastrano's mouthpiece with a solid blow to the face in the third round but tired badly during the last half of the fight.
	*It was stated over the wire that Patterson and/or Cus D'Amato ~~would~~ not give Pastrano a title shot ~~due to~~ Willie~~'s affiliation with~~ the International Boxing Club, ~~whom~~ the Patterson/D'Amato ~~camp refused~~ to ~~negotiate~~ with.
			==Notes==
			*Pastrano's purse was $14,000.
			*The Associated Press scored the fight seven rounds to three for Pastrano.
