    Angelo Dundee cheated with smelling salt. That is a fact.

      Do you think that changed the result?

            Watch it closely. It is the other second who applies the "smell" you can see Ali's face react.

            Dundee's butt blocks the actual event. But you can see the guy going in with the "smell" -- but then Angelo shifts his ass in the way. Through the crack between the two men you can see Ali's face react. Head snaps up.

            BTW What's the problem. This is GD prize fight. Liston's people put shit on his gloves, multiple times. Ali fought through it.

            A little smelling salt in a prize fight, and you're bitching. Come on man!

              Patterson had the same problem with Liston as Frazier had with Foreman. They were both fighting bigger opponents who could hit harder than them and they both needed to take the fight to the opponent in order to do what they did best. Bobbing and weaving in front of powerful punchers like Liston and Foreman, who could throw accurate uppercuts, is a recipe for disaster.

                  The other second was Chickie Ferrara. I once rang the BBBOC and asked the chairman when smelling salts were prohibited in the UK,his exact words were,"I ain't got a clue"

                    i remember in ali v frazier 3 you see frazier given the salts clearly in the last rounds. i once tried them years ago and boy do they bring you to your senses fast!
