“Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr”
Watched him fight Sonny Listin in the early ‘60’s.
Can’t believe I just admitted that....

I listened to it on the radio at work - in an obstetric labor and delivery unit. The docs told the patients to chill (in a manner of speaking) until the bout was over. LOL!
Baltimore Civic Center, Closed Circuit, everybody wanted their money back.
At the time everyone was POSITIVE it was a dive, remember?
Clay subsequently proved he had a helluva punch,
but I still wonder about that fight.
I saw (or, rather, did not see) the “phantom punch” as well.
