First from Ali: "Then I saw the blood, and I knew that eye was my target from then on. It was my concentrating on that cut that let me get caught with the hardest punch punch it took, that long left. It rocked me back. But he either didn't realize how good I was hit or he was already getting tired, and he didn't press his chance. I sure heard the bell that time. I needed to get to my corner to get my head clear." Liston's jab was monstrous! He only landed one good one on Ali, and it managed to stun him momentarily. Here's a quote from Dundee: "In the second, Liston was trying to load up on shots, but my guy wasn't there to be loaded up on. I'm telling you that Liston would've beaten Tyson at his best. He was a big strong guy, he had shoulders that reached across the ring, he was faster than Tyson. But he was in there with an intricate guy. Muhammad Ali..." I must agree with Dundee
I also learned that this was the first and last fight that Ali was ever scared in. Up until round two he was frightened. Not against Frazier, Shavers, or Foreman. He was only scared against Liston
