| Description: | "Former heavyweight champ Sonny Liston, fighting in Sweden, puts away Philadelphia's Dave Bailey in two minutes and twenty-two seconds of the first round in a scheduled ten rounder. Swedish fans boo, but Sonny smiles; he's thinking of a comeback title-shot." Fight occurred on March 30, 1967. (FIRST ROUND KNOCK-OUT) TLS - Former heavyweight champion SONNY LISTON (aka Charles Liston, here in left corner, wearing white robe) in ring during pre-bout announcements. Nice CU - Two blond Swedish women in audience, gazing apprehensively upon ring. Nice MS - Sonny Liston (white trunks with black trim) stalking challenger DAVE BAILEY (black trunks w/ white trim) in first round; Sonny lands a ghostly right hook to Bailey's head; Bailey goes down, Liston walks to corner while ref counts Bailey out. From behind MS - Referee raising arm of Liston after fight. | |
