"In my opinion, something definitely was wrong,"- said the Swedish iron man who will try to regain the title at Miami Beach Convention Hall on March 13. : Whltey Bims'tciri, his veter an trainer, backed him up with the assertion that "he looked goofy" the night of the fight nfter losing six pounds overnight. "I'm not accusing any body," Bimstein bit off, "but he ate the night- before the fight in a place frequented by gamblers. The big boob trusts everybody and he might have had something in a cup of tea or something." Talks To Doctors Ingemar acknowledged that he had conferred with doctors In Sweden on the possibility that he had been doped and they confirmed that In a drugged state he would have been more susceptible to Pat terson's punches. "I can't say myself that I actually was doped," Ingemar cautioned. "But if you are droped, you feel good. That's why people take dope.

' Bucks Have 24 Reasons For Being Acclaimed As Best Team in Land By GARY KALE United Press International '.

Johansson pointed out that In the bout he "acted entirely different" than he ever had before. "I was laughing at people beside the ring for no reason at all," he said. "Even be tween rounds I would look down and laugh at strangers. I was acting entirely differ ent than I ever had before. And then there was the way I was fighting. I didn't move." Looking over slow motion films of the bout, Johansson pointed out that In the second round, when he staggered Pat terson, he did not follow up his advantage but stood watch ing his opponent. "What was wrong with me?" he asked rhetorically. "If I follow up right then if I could, the fight is over. You tell me, how could I miss such a chance?" Breaks With Custom Breaking with boxing cus tom, Johansson shunned seclu sion and went to New York the night before the last bout and appeared on a television show. Then he had dinner at a mid-town restaurant.

Bimstein . emphasized that, In all his years as a trainer, working with such as Jimmy Braddock and Max Baer for title fights, he never had seen a fighter lose more than "two or three pounds" overnight. 'They dry out a couple of pounds," Bimstein declared, "but Ingemar lost six pounds. He looked like a ghost and he didn't have diarrhea.
