Muhammed Ali vs Sonny Liston

[Julianantrax]

BAMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

[afreijat]

any one who doesn't think this is a true knockout has never been knocked out. you don't just immediate blackout.. sometimes it happens slowly. hence the attempts to stay on his feet. if you get hit in the fucking temple you will be knocked out. this is why EVERY ONE guards the temples when fighting. not the face or back of head or groin. the temples. this is why.

[coyotemutt]

@afreijat Absolutely true. In one instance, I was still on my feet after a good hit, threw a couple punches, and then my vision blurred and I fell to the floor.

[pajasa62]

Liston pulled a Buster Douglas when he fought Evander Holyfield.

And Liston almost getting to his feet and collapsing again doesn't fool anyone.

Another reason why Ali was so animated in telling him to get up...he never acted like that after flooring any other opponent.

When asked by the TV annoucer about the KO punch, Ali didn't even know if it was a left or right.

Malcolm X was killed a few weeks earlier, Liston probably didn't want to take any chances, so he just got out of there quick.

[MartinTaco]

It looks fixed, but when you keep on replaying it you can actually see the punch land.

[makpak]

everyone knows the punch landed!

the real questions everyone is asking is

was the punch hard enough to drop the great Charles sonny liston?

the reason everyone wants to know is because Sonny was a bad mother$%%^&*! no phantom punch is dropping him.

[liamisinthezone]

THE FIGHT WAS FIXED!!!!!!!!!

[MasonTVonline]

Your dumb ahaha..its boxing..

You cant fake being hit in the face..

Muhammed Ali is living proof, His brain is so bruised he cant even finish a sentince

[playsportswater]

muhammad ali was a great fighter but in my case sugar ray leonard was an inspration.

search him and watch the highlight.

[25Buttons]

bye

type 420 if ur high! KS

[boiledelephant]

It doesn't even look that well-delivered, can you imagine the state Liston would have been in if it had been a clean shot?

[lucketto29]

...fly like a butterfly prick like a bee...

[conradjunker]

wow muhammed ali is beasttttttttttt

[LukeThinnes]

I read this was fixed

[Dmalice22]

Me too, I heard there were behind the scenes deals saying that if Sonny didn't throw the fight some people were going to kill him. It was over some bets that were made on Ali. If you look closly you'll see Ali yelling at Sonny saying things kinda like get up! Because he knew he could take more than that.

[texaskid]

Ali was freakin quick

Like he once, twice or seventeen times said,

Once I turned off the light and i was in bed before the light even went out or somethin like that.

Its either he has a clapper or he's faster than lightning

[LebbOGangstA]

fuck that was fast and it was in slow motion, picture it in normal, fuckin hell man, lol his the greatest, and i really wanna c that punch in different angles.

thanks for sharring.

[cfafcfaasdfdasfg]

ALI'S A BAD MAN

[LebbOGangstA]

fffuuuuccckkkk. what a punch. ali did it so fast liston didnt evn c it coming hahaha.

[1099231]

it's easy to see listons head moves with the impact he walks straigh into it

[disap09]

maestro..idolo de siempre

[Mortarbug]

I believe that in an interview with Liston's trainer/someone in his corner, he (Liston) would later say that he had seen the punch coming too late and that Ali could hit hard (this was in the private rooms). Whether he took a fall or not is still anybody's guess.

[Nathrakh]

You guys are dumb. And Alextheboxer, you summed up your stupidity in the first sentence. Ali was and will always be the greatest. Fucking idiots.

[mdonee3000]

yeah..anyobdy in boxing knows that the punch you dont see coming hurts you the most...the fact that ali did put some leverage in it and Liston was throwing a jab and his jab didnt even make it back to guard and the right hand came over top....its called a flash knockout...not the brute force but you throw a left jab to somebodys mid section and they come over top with a right to the temple I bet you be out

[Energy2407]

They do say, if you hit someone in the right spot on the Chin then it will knock them out. Plus that video is in slow motion.

[Odawg96]

I'll say this much: it may not have been the hardest punch in the world, but it could have dropped Sonny the way it did. Whether it could have KO'd him...welllll. Anyway, the thing that impressed me about this is that it underscores how fast Ali was. It's UNREAL that a man his size could throw a punch so fast that it couldn't perceived my most people until they watch it in slo-mo.

[danzig159]

The punch Ali through may not have looked so hard but its all about leverage, angles, and momentum. It was a perfect punch in the exact right spot. Don't forget Bruce Lee's one inch punch - was that fake too? I bet if you asked Bruce about Ali's punch he would no doubt confirm the knockout.

[junfan79]

I have read that Ali screamed to liston to get up several times, cuz noone was gonna believe that fake k.o. , given by the mob no doubt

[BbOiChILeNo1034]

damn he mad pussy one hit and down he goes

[RaZkaliz3]

When Ali fought Liston for the first time in 1964. After Ali won, Liston claim he had a pain on his shoulder. Then they had a rematch and he got knocked down in the first round.

[hellothere1]

that was rigged like shit lol

[alextheboxer]

I AM A 16 YEAR OLD AETUER BOXER. NO WAY DID THIS PUNCH KNOCK OUT SONNY FOR THE 10 COUNT. HE WASNT SET ON HIS FEET WHEN HE THREW THAT PUNCH SO HE DID GET NOWHERE NEAR THE POWER HE COULD HAVE. not to mention the fact people say alis punch was not that devastating and sonnies chin was made of granite. I am positive it was a mob job even ali said he couldnt believe it..

[icpmilinko]

true. some say that liston was in debt to the mob, he also experimented in heroine.

[TheDrunkenMaster]

one thing is u dont need to have ur feet planted down on the ground to deliver a hard blow, another thing is the whole mafia crap was long gone by the 60s seeing as the fbi had been seperating mafias from boxing since the 50s

[mushk45]

What!!! It's in slow motion, so the punches look like handshakes!

[jimbob200]

mohammed ali is the best boxer i ever new even now he is

[zeppelinrules72]

The mob made liston take a dive. Apparantley they made millions out of it.

[SmelOdies]

The guy who stands up at the end, wearing the short sleeved white shirt and dark tie, is none other than a young Larry Merchant.

[Greker]

Damn. Sony Liston is known as one of the best fighters ever, and Ali knocked him down in the 1 Round?

[clay111]

ammowaster obviously doesnt know how to fight coz he doesnt know how good this punch is.

[big12oz]

wots the deal with the jebend ammowasterx....he is probably sum geek who thinks he is hard coz he listens to sum sit like marilyn manson or summt....real boxers dont "go out and fight"........fukin cunt-scoopin wannabe

[Inkred]

this is the greatest fight in Ali's life... wasnt he known as Cassius Clay at teh time.. untill after he beat Liston he changed his name... well anyways this fight was History

[TheTankjfsdjkf]

Goddamn Mafia...

[JWITBECK]

ammo waster, you're a fucking faggot

[illmitchjax]

Wasn't a good punch, many people including Ali think he took a dive... and it wasn't the first minute... if you watch the fight its just under 2 minutes.

[Z3PP3LIN]

lol ammowasterX your such a dick

[Energy2407]

You seriously do get bullied by your parents :|

[AmmoWasterX]

this is the lamest video I have ever seen.....you need to get your fucking fatass out there and stop watching some guys fight and fight for your own ass so I hope you go to hell and make your own video before you get knocked out by your own mom for making such lame ass video go to hell! Thanks

[Energy2407]

Shows what a great boxer Ali was.. He even took his gaurd down for the punch :D
