    A lot of conspiracy theories over that fight
    Sonny and Ali generated a boxing Cottage Publishing Industry sorta like JFK did where truth becomes stranger than fiction as fiction becomes fact, The Bermuda Triangle Theory cubed.

      I believe Joe was referencing body punches that Mildenburger hurt Ali even later on in the fight.
      I know Joe Louis was referring to Mildenberger's body shots, especially that punch to the liver. I had a buddy of mine that saw the fight live in Frankfurt, Germany, he was in the service, he said that Ali doubled over from that shot to the liver.

        It is very evident from watching the video of the fight. Also I believe they wore 6 oz gloves which enhanced these body punches.

          I remember like I posted watching the fight live on television, the hope was that Mildenberger would trouble Muhammad Ali with his southpaw stance, take full advantage of that and that Ali had lost to southpaws in the amateurs. In the early going, Ali did not move around as much as he did against Patterson and Henry Cooper. But he did get tagged a few times

            They explored some of them in the recent Liston documentary on Showtime
