From thesweetscience.com:

On this day in 1965, Floyd Patterson won a 12-round unanimous decision over George Chuvalo at Madison Square Garden. The bout was one of the most thrilling non-title fights in boxing history.

After losing his heavyweight title and suffering back-to-back first-round knockouts to Sonny Liston in 1962 and 1963, Patterson bounced back with three straight wins. Chuvalo had also put together a string of victories, including an 11th-round knockout of Doug Jones.

The bout with the former two-time champion was, at the time, the most significant of Chuvalo’s career, and carried large implications. The winner would likely get a shot at champion Muhammad Ali.

Chuvalo swarmed Patterson from the opening bell and relentlessly attacked him for 12 straight rounds. However, Patterson destroyed any notions of heartlessness that were created by his losses to Liston. He stood toe-to-toe with Chuvalo and used his hand speed to win a decision. The final scorecards read 6-5-1, 8-4, and 7-5, in favor of Patterson. The bout produced enough excitement to be named The Ring’s “Fight of the Year.”

In November of 1965, Patterson faced Ali for the title. The champion continually embarrassed him before the fight was finally stopped in the 12th round. Chuvalo also faced Ali for the heavyweight belt in March of 1966. He lost a lopsided decision but is remembered by boxing aficionados for one of the gutsiest performances in history.

It's amazing how competitive Castro was above middleweight. Especially when his team swore he could have made welterweight: he just hated training!

A YEAR AGO:

February 1, 2011-

Panama City, Panama-

Ricardo Nunez unanimously outpointed Liborio Solis to win an eight-round super flyweight bout.

Since then, Nunez has dropped down to the flyweight division, won four flyweight contests in a row, and, in doing so, captured the WBC Latino and WBA FEDELATIN titles at 112. He was recently named to fight former IBF world junior flyweight champion Carlos Tamara in an IBF world flyweight title eliminator.

Solis has also won four bouts in a row since the bout with Nunez. He won and defended the WBA FEDELATIN bantamweight title and, most recently, won the WBA interim super flyweight title. He is currently the #1 contender for the WBA world super flyweight championship.

Ban Kwao, Chaiyaphum, Thailand-

Panomroonglek Kaiyarn Hadaogym (formerly known as Panomroonglek Kratingdaenggym) retained the WBC Silver International flyweight title with a 12-round, unanimous decision over Filipino veteran Dondon Jimenea.

On the same card, former lineal and WBC world flyweight champion Medgoen Singsurat (known during his title reign as Medgoen 3-K Battery and then as Medgoen Toyota-Thailand) stopped super bantamweight Kompetch Twins Gym in the second round.
