    The heavyweight title fight between Muhammad Ali and Earnie Shavers featured an unusual "first" in heavyweight history - anyone know what it was?

    This.

    Apparently, or so the story goes, Ali's corner had someone watching the telecast and running the scores out to the ring so Ali's folks knew the score -- literally -- and Shavers did not.

    All answers are correct, so far (Except this one).
