Their rematch took place on May 25, 1965,
in Lewiston, Maine, and this time there was even more sentiment
that the fight was fixed. Ali floored Liston with a short
chopping right to the head in the first round. Liston fell,
rolled over, climbed to his knees, and then fell again.
Referee Jersey Joe Walcott never counted to
10, but while trying to get Ali into a neutral corner, at
least 17 seconds passed. When Liston finally rose, the fight
resumed. However, when Walcott was told by a journalist
how long Liston was down, he raised Ali's hand in victory.
