[Bill Paxtom]

Tuesday ~ August 26, 1975

Now that Smokin' Joe stood up, there was a concern that he would grab 'The Scum Bag' and
break his coward neck.

But Smokin' Joe just smiled.

Muhammad Ai, realizing he was safe, then started to send out flicking left-jabs aimed at
Smokin' Joe's forehead, and missing by a 1/2" inch.

Smokin' Joe again, never flinched.

Finally, Muhammad realized that he couldn't intimidate Smokin' Joe, so he put out his left-hand
and made a fist. He gently placed it on Smokin' Joe's forehead.

Smokin' Joe then started laughing while saying >
"Don't you fella's see how scared I am."
