As a child in a small Cassius glue (the so-called parents of the future world of boxing legend Muhammad Ali) stole a bicycle. Enterprising boy immediately went to the nearest policeman. He said that at the first meeting with a punk like him to teach. To which police said that «before somebody beat, you must first learn that». The officer was part-time coach at the local boxing club for teenagers. The next day, Clay had already trained in their composition. 

The most striking point in the amateur career of Ali are the Olympic Games in 1960 where he won a convincing victory. 

In the school years, Clay fought only twice. The first time they sat in the club with my friends and they landed two of the guys, Cassius long insisted that peacefully disperse. «I am a boxer and I do not want to cause you injury» - it is solid. Having received a refusal, he has a grim view of the table. Fighting took place outside institution. At a stroke Clay sent his opponent into a deep «KO», his pal fleeing. The second of his street fighting took place just before the Olympic Games. Making his daily scamper he ran past the bar, where every morning going to local men. One of them is very irritating that run by them, glue diamonds themselves constantly under his nose: «I have become a world champion ...» and once he podkarauliv him, struck him a clear line from a corner straight into the face. Clay shaken, but firm, and immediately collapsed to the vis-à-vis a series of terrible blows. In the end he shouted: «Leave me! You become a world champion! Become! ». The next morning, he had welcomed his words: «Hi, Champion» (Belenky AG, Boxing: Big champions, 2006).

To get more time to recover, seconds went to the glue trick. They move the cut glove glue and told the referee that we should change it. As a spare gloves they did not have, second went for it in the locker room. Thus the team has received excess glue minute recovery. In the 5 th round of the Cooper opened strong dissection and the referee stopped the fight.

The blow was not the magnitude, and seemed not strong, but Liston did not resist. Later, Ali called the strike «blow-phantom». Liston attempted to stand, but his rock. At that time, Ali ran around him and continued to provoke a fight. Referee - famous champion of the past, Jersey Joe Wolcott - it tried to drive away from Listona and thus opened the account. After a few seconds, he went to consult with the timekeeper. At that time, Liston, Ali got up and hit him hail strikes. However, the referee stopped the fight, as estimated timekeeper Liston was on kanvase more than 10 seconds.
