The Greatest Muhammad Ali
Today I read from page 46 to half of page 47. In reading this 1 and a half page i found out that Sonny Liston was an intimidating man. He was really buff with the power to knock you out in one punch. His style of boxing was intimidation, he stared at his opponent and sometimes finished the fight before it started. The young Cassius Clay was not intimidated by the World Heavyweight Champion. Between the 1st and 3rd rounds Cassius was winning until he was temporarily blinded in the 4th and 5th rounds. In those 2 round Liston had Cassius on the ropes but didn't seem to hurt him. In the 6th round Cassius unexpectedly regained his sight and began to punish Liston. Cassius beat him so bad he could go the 7th round.
