This 1965 fight was dubbed the "First Round, First Minute'" rematch. Ali was doing his trademark dancing and dodging very similar to that of their first fight. This time Liston stumbled and as he fell his chin connected with Ali's glove leaving him flat on the mat. After the ref finally gave the count, which some say exceeded 18 seconds, Liston made it to his feet, and Ali charged at him hitting him until the ref decided to stop the fight. This is a full un-used ticket from the memorable event which took place Tuesday, May 25, 1965 in St. Dominic's Arena in Lewiston, Maine. The ticket is a $100.00, main floor ticket with the faces of the champion and the challenger. This full ticket is very rare and is in excellent to near mint condition.
