I was 6 years old when I saw this in 1964 at my grandparents house. Things were very primitive then, television had been broadcasting in N.Z., barely 4 years, my parents didnt own a set then. And watching this fight, delayed coverage a week after this even, was just fantastic. I waited patiently for it to come on, an afternoon of sport, cricket, rugby, and my grandfather telling me to be patient. Finally, on the small black and white screen, I saw it! I was just so excited, and captivated by this fight. I'd never seen anything like it before, Sonny Liston, so physically imposing, and Cassius Clay, as he was known then, dancing around the ring after fight, saying, "I am the greatest, I am King of the World". That, had a big effect on me, a momentous occasion! Years later in June 1978, I was fortunate to briefly meet Muhammad Ali at his training camp, Deer Lake, Pennsylvania. That will always stay in my mind!

I thin Liston ripped off history with this fight. He was being outclassed, was infuriated, and just quit. He was a bully who was able to thump the crap out of everyone but by the end of the 6th he knew he had no place in the ring with this kid. He could have made a much better fight, IMHO but sucked out.
@Bob-Maplethorpe
@Bob-Maplethorpe 3 роки тому
@Zak Quinn the Liston who fought Machen would have stood no chance against Ali. I agree that Liston is one of the greats, and it sucks that he was older when he fought Ali. If he were in his prime we could be having a different discussion. I think that Liston was left handed or ambidextrous. It's odd how his left jab/hook was what he smashed people with - if he could hit you. He was no faster with that jab in his other fights, and I do not believe that he was pulling punches in 1964. Who knows how bad the injury was. I hate this type of situation were no resolution is available. I want you to watch the first 4 rounds and count how many punches Liston squarely lands and compare this with misses. Do the same with his fight with Patterson. Ali slid almost all of Liston's jabs, and those jabs were no different than any fight Liston had, ever. When Ali was complaining about his eyes he was taking bombs, and this leads to another point - that Ali was legendary at taking punishment. I think some fighters are just bad matchups for other fighters, and I think this is the case here. Ironically, Liston would have crushed Frasier and Ken Norton - who I feel were Ali's only true losses. BTW, I do not think 1964-65 Ali would have lost to either of these two. I just watched three early fights and loved them. Liston Besmanoff is a good fight and Liston looked fit. His story is just so odd! Imagine if he started as a kid and trained with the best and then went to the Olympics before turning pro with supporters who believed in him. It would have been a totally different career story. He seemed like and interesting man. I noticed in the Besmanoff fight that the two of them touched gloves at the end of some rounds. At the end of the fight both showed great respect for the other. I liked the Tyrell sparring session, and Liston's comment about Tyrell hugging him more than his wife!

Sonny was no joke. He was a very hard hitter. That first body blow had to have hurt, but Ali could definitely take a punch. And could dish them out equally as brutal. Ali's footwork was a work of art. He was also a pro at pacing himself for the latter rounds. Much like what Mayweather Jr. did in his career. He was letting Sonny punch himself out in the first 3 rounds, and you could see it working. As Sonny started to look tired as the fight progressed. A very hard, disciplined thing to do in boxing. Sonny was definitely trying to make short work of it, but probably didn't realize Ali's ability to take a lot of punishment. Very difficult to get a good connection on him. I can only imagine how many people lost money on this fight. Ali truly "Floats like Butterfly, and Stings like a Bee!" My favorite fighter of all time. Grew up watching him, and he is still the best to ever box in my opinion.

Regarding the latest fight I agree, I'm not really a boxing fan now but Joshua looked like an athlete and Andy Ruiz looked like a fat bloke from down the pub. Ruiz must have been good as they were fighting for a world title. How about the Giant Russians, were they technically good or just so big and tall no one could hit them? Butterbean! Another fat guy, another powerful fat bloke. I would not wish to tangle with any of these but when I saw Ruiz on the TV I just laughed, where as Ali, Joe Frazier, Our 'Enry, George Forman, even the Don King era actually looked like boxers.

These guys and most up until the early 2000's were natural boxers. They generally started when they were kids and you could see the fluidity in their movement. Look at how Ali rolled his neck with punches and even though Liston was older, he still was good at slipping punches and going inside. The top boxers of today are big and muscular but they are not natural fighters. You can see it in their robotic like movement.

I was hooked on boxing. I was never really good at organized sports but I was good with my hands, had good reflexes, and did well in the ring. I stayed in shaped through the 1970's. At the end of the fight dad said it stunk. No matter what shape you're in, it's the championship you keep fighting, quitting was unheard of. Dad said Liston was tied with the mob. He came up the hard way. Died sad. Buried near the airport. This is the first time I've seen that fight. I left out so much back story. I was pulling for Liston then as well as now.

it was an accident. A substance that Liston's cut man put on his cut under his eye after round 3 to stitch it up. Sonny touched it with his gloves accidentally and when he hit Cassius it made its way to his eyes. That seems to be the most believable explanation. Sonny didn't have to cheat, because he didn't take Clay seriously. He barely trained for the fight and drank all night before. Therefore many doubt he had anything to do with that. Don't forget the majority of the public and experts gave Clay 2-3 round max until ge gets knocked out. It really did shake up the world.

Although Sonny Liston is now viewed more as “The Guy Who Lost The Heavyweight Championship To Ali”, he was one hell of a champion. The guy was feared for a reason. Even Ali admitted he had the upmost respect for Liston. Ali taunted him because he knew psychological warfare was just as important to beating Liston as physical skill. Ali wanted Liston to think Ali was full of it so he could surprise Liston with his true talent. And it worked perfectly. The only people who truly were able to get past the psychological games Ali played were Frazier, Norton, and Holmes.

One could hardly write a better script for a fight in which one retires after 6 rounds.

We were influenced by the black American soldiers who at that time were based in the naval base in Dunoon on the riverside in Scotland . I had just started going to the dancing on a Saturday night in Glasgow. Soul music was my obsession. Still is. But first time I heard Sam singing was around 1960. My uncle played his records.

Liston standing there blinking at the end of round 1, just going: "What the fk?!", basically......I read in a biography of Muhammad Ali, where Sonny said, years later, that his first reaction to Ali's ("Clay's") incredible defensive and evasive skills, and in particular, upon his landing his first combinations on Sonny, was one of utter and absolute shock. He stated that Ali hit with so much more power and real sting than anybody had ever realised, and that his actual power shocked him; that the accuracy, timing, and placement of his shots were nothing short of incredible, and redoubled the effect thereof. Sonny also explained that Ali's ("Clay's") handspeed, footspeed, and the sheer level of his reflexive, defencive skill basically defied all means of description, and had to be experienced firsthand for one to ever have any means of ever being able to have any chance of comprehending the level and degree thereof. What an absolutely incredible heavyweight boxer...(!!).. What an absolute all-time legend. Max Respect, and RIP Muhammad Ali. His legacy will live on forever.

I would give Ali rounds 1,3, and 6. Liston rounds 2, 4, and 5. But of course that wouldn't really tell the story of the fight. Overall IMO Ali dominated most of the fight beginning to end with the exception of round 5 where he was fighting blind, and was basically beating the sh!t out of Liston in the 6th, when he quit in the 7th. Liston was just plain outclassed by a better fighter who the world was only beginning to get to know. Liston knew he was going to lose. He managed to make it out of round 3 when Ali almost dropped him, but he was terribly damaged. After the 6th, he knew the jig was up and that he would eventually lose if he continued.

In the lobby of the Hyatt, I enjoyed an uninterrupted, 10 minute conversation with the champ.

@@magicsugarbump4972 You're right, he will always be the best in the eyes of those with an emotional attachment. Only a guy with a man crush on Ali would insult a stranger for voicing his opinion. The emotions you are not in control of disqualify you from making a fair assessment. On the other hand, I care about the truth and about history. If it was up to you recorded history would be driven by emotion nonsense. Ask anyone, your response is too strong to be unbiased. A very biased opinion is worse then no opinion at all. I've done research, you haven't. I didn't need research to convince myself, it was for the benefit of die hard knuckle heads such as yourself. I got tired of people that had no idea about the subject matter insisting that there's no evidence of a fix. There's plenty of evidence it turns out, but that was a waste of my time for the most part. A guy that's too emotional regarding a particular issue doesn't want evidence, they want things to be the way they want things to be. A level headed, open minded truth seeker would appreciate evidence brought to show, but most hard nosed Ali fans aren't in that category. I can fill a book with facts and very persuasive information but you wouldn't open and look at the first page. I'll ruffle your shorts a little more, Ali had one other fixed fight, making a total of 3 fixed fights in his career. Watch the Zora Folley waltz, tell me you think that was a real fight. They circled close enough to hug each other, neither man had the desire to throw a punch. Folley went down on a soft punch, then acted like a damn fool trying to get up. A fixed fight by my guarantee. I know that doesn't impress you but it should. I'm much older, much wiser and far more intelligent from day one. If you're willing to accept anything then accept this; take advice from older men, it allows you to gain wisdom and to avoid risk and danger, without paying the price that others will pay while learning the hard way.

Ali is the greatest heavyweight but he defiently had more flaws than others
@Elite59
@Elite59 Місяць тому
In 1967 Ali was convicted of draft evasion, was stripped of his boxing title and missed 3 years of professional boxing. Those 3 years were his prime years. When he came back to the ring in 1970, he was not the same boxer. He lost some of his quickness and stamina. It is very tragic that we missed out on seeing his best years.

Beautiful judging distance. All the top guys can punch, and move. But the great ones know the importance of distance. He’s able to snap that pestering jab out and remain just out reach of Listons insanely powerful jab. Masterful job by the 🐐 !

​@@thedrzoidberg4559 The war was more about stopping the spread of communism and the domino theory from coming into effect. It really wasn't for the military industrial complex, people were drafted for it. Unlike the Iraq war, which they didn't conscript people when invading Iraq. Not every war the US fought in was Iraq (2003-2011) or Afghanistan. Not saying either war is right or wrong, but the Vietnam war was basically a second Korean war.

@Mark Anthony wow, so salty. Ali was a hero. He sacrificed for a principle. He was ahead of his times. Over 54k US soldiers dead, over 1.2 north million Vietnam dead. He was a great speaker, a sign of a high IQ. He was right to throw his Olympic gold medal into the river after being refused entry to a restaurant, due to segregation and racism. Again, he was ahead of his times. I am Irish and Ali was a hero to my dad and me. Easy to see why.
