This may be the only one in existense. A piece of sporting history. Look at the prices of the tickets. Shot outside the ticket boothfor the Clay vs Liston championship fight. Printed from the original Kodachrome slide. Liston's title defense against Clay was held on February 25th , 1964 in Miami Beach Florida. The fight began with Clay showing a lot of movement, using a fast, effective jab and quick flurries of combinations. This made it difficult for Liston to score with his slower armspeed and heavy punches. In the third round, Clay opened up his attack and hit Liston with several combinations, causing a bruise under Liston's right eye and a cut under his left. During the fourth round, Clay coasted, keeping his distance. However, when he returned to his corner, Clay started complaining that there was something burning in his eyes and that he could not see. It has been theorized that a substance used to stop Liston's cuts from bleeding may have caused the irritation, but this has never been confirmed. In any case, Angelo Dundee rinsed Clay's eyes with a sponge and pushed him off his stool to begin the fifth round, telling him to stay away from Liston. Clay managed to survive the fifth round. By the sixth his sight had cleared, and he resumed control of the fight, landing combinations of punches seemingly at will. On his stool following the sixth round, Liston told his cornermen that he couldn't continue, complaining of a shoulder injury. He failed to answer the bell for the seventh round and Clay was declared the winner by technical knockout. Sensing that he had made history, Clay sprang to the center of the ring, did a victory jig and then quickly ran to the ropes to remind sportswriters that he had told them so all along. In a scene that has been rebroadcast countless times over the ensuing decades, Clay repeatedly yelled "I'm the greatest!" and "I shook up the world!" The day after the fight, Clay announced that he was changing his name to Muhammad Ali Size: Paper size 16x20 - Image 12x16Desc: Giclee on high quality artist paperYes these are available  Framed as well in our other auctionsDue to the quality of the paper stock these images will come flat packed , as such we can ship up to 10 prints at once with no increase in postage. Buyers outside of North America Please email us for a shipping quote What is a Giclee you ask?Giclee (pronounced 'zhee-KLAY') is a method of reproducing art through a printing process very similar to modern ink-jet printers. It has become a very popular method of creating limited edition fine art reproductions. The colors are brighter, last longer, and are so high-resolution that they are virtually 'continuous tone', rather than tiny dots. The range, or "gamut" of color for giclees is far beyond that of lithography, and details are crisper. Giclees use inkjet technology, but far more sophisticated than your desktop printer. The process employs eight colors of lightfast (fade resistant,) pigmented inks. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister On 27-Nov-08 at 12:29:06 EST, seller added the following information: Place a Bid!
