Ali's Knockout Punch

How a Photograph Stunned the Boxing World

By: Michael Burgan

Narrated by: anonymous

It’s one of the most famous sports images of all time. Former heavyweight boxing champion Sonny Liston is sprawled on his back in the boxing rim. Muhammad Ali stands over Liston, holding his right hand as if ready to throw another punch. The reigning world champion had just thrown a short, right-handed punch to the side of Liston’s head. In a flash, Liston had gone down. The photo of the angry Ali standing over the fallen challenger was taken in an instant by photojournalist John Rooney, but the controversy over the 1965 fight lingers to this day.

Weird stops and skips on my end

Other than the weird stops and skips would have been great. For free not bad though

Terrible recording

I struggled to get through this because the narration is terrible. There are jarring stops and skips throughout which made the story impossible to follow.

Really good book

It's a good book if you like boxing I recommend listening to this book.
