2. 50$ says Cassius Clay beats the champ!
Liston has been taking too much drugs, not training. The brash young Olympian will best him yet!

5. I remember listening to it on the radio
Liston did not come out for the sevneth round. That was quite a shock to everyone.

However, listening to the fight left me with the impression that Clay (not yet known as Muhammad Ali) was winning.
