Re: Ali v Liston
I watched this again on another holiday today.
In the first round at the end of it Ali started attacking Liston and backing him up, amazingly. During the interval he is clowning at the crowd opening his mouth. In the third Ali batters Liston throwing loads of punches almost punching himself out.
In the 4Th Ali get something in his eyes which Liston's lot must have done. Ali wanted to quit but in that round moved around and Liston got tired trying to load up. Liston quit in the 6th saying he had dislocated his shoulder, which Joe Louis kept on reporting to the TV.
Ali infamously saying "I shook up the world!!"
He also got Sam Cooke to come into the ring after. Magic stuff.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
