    Liston went down whether the punch had him out or not

    Ali never went to a neutral corner so the ref didnt count

    Liston got up and they fought

    a magazine editor ringside said he was down for 10 seconds and the ref stopped it

    the ref ****ed up shoulda let them fight, how come press row could tell a ref the fights over?

    its not ten seconds its a refs ten count

    The punch definatly stunned and hurt liston, but the roll over in my opinion was fake. I think it was just a case of liston realising he was not going to win this kid and he wanted a way out
