I also recall something little cited nowadays.
Ali was pissed and thought it was deliberate--Perez's halting as no one else heard a "phantom bell."©
Ali sued Perez claiming it was deliberate. The judge tossed the suit with reasoning that it was impossible to prove that it wasn't a mistake without malice aforethought. From what I know now I wonder if an appeal might have found that that's a question for a jury to decide. But Ali did not appeal.
No, I don't have a link, but followed the matter in the papers.
