Was Ali-Liston fixed?

[The Old LefHook]

The punch was strong enmough to lift Liston's left foot off the canvas. He had just stepped with the left foot, so was not stepping again so soon. This is a long ignored and little known detail.

I don't think any were fixed..

The phantom punch was in actuality, a short right on the inside

Maybe the first fight was fixed but I doubt it...
