I listened to it on the radio with my dad, who couldn't believe Liston lost.
My old man didn't like Ali because he was "always runnin' his mouth", and would insist "the fix was in".
But then we got a chance to see the film of the Ali vs Cleveland Williams fight a few years later.
I could see the change in his attitude as he turned to me and said, "A heavyweight shouldn't be able to move like that - I guess it ain't braggin' if you can do it".
