Liston V Clay I To boxing analysts and writers, the match was too lopsided to take seriously. The champ Liston was feared by nearly every boxer and would surely dispose of the 22-year-old challenger. But Liston failed to answer the bell for the seventh round because of an injured shoulder, giving Clay the win via TKO.
