Floyd Patterson On The Experience Of Being Knocked Out In Boxing by SReporters: 12:19am On Jan 16, 2023 |
It's not a bad feeling to be knocked out. It's a pleasant sensation. It's not painful, just a groggy feeling. You don't see angels or stars because you're floating on a pleasant cloud. After Liston knocked me out in Nevada, I had the sensation that everyone in the arena was actually in the ring with me, circled around me like a family, and you feel warmth toward everyone in the arena after you're knocked out. Everyone thinks you're adorable. And you want to reach out and kiss everyone—men and women—and someone told me after the Liston fight that I actually blew a kiss to the crowd from the ring. That's something I don't recall. But I suppose it's true because that's how you feel four or five seconds after a knockout. But then the good feeling fades. You are aware of where you are, what you are doing there, and what has just occurred to you. What follows is a hurt, a confused hurt—not a physical hurt, but a hurt mixed with anger; a what-will-people-think hurt; a shame-of-my-own-ability hurt. And all you want is a hatch door in the middle of the ring to open, allowing you to fall through and land in your dressing room rather than having to exit the ring and face those people. The worst part of losing is having to exit the ring and face those people.' https://www.solutionreporters.com/2023/01/16/floyd-patterson-on-the-experience-of-being-knocked-out-in-boxing/
