She's got two little ones and not much into internet message boards. My mom was an OG DUer who doesn't post (much) anymore and my dad has an account, though.

From Yahoo!'s front page:

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ap-muhammad-ali-sonny-liston-heavyweight-rematch-150111952--box.html

On May 25, 1965, Muhammad Ali defeated Sonny Liston in the first round of a heavyweight bout that produced one of the strangest finishes in boxing history as well as one of sports' most iconic moments - photos of Ali hovering over Liston on the canvas, shouting at his opponent to get up.

After the fight, the 23-year-old Ali called the punch that dropped Liston his secret: ''It was a phantom punch.''

''It was lightning and thunder - fast as lightning and booming as thunder from the heavens,'' Ali said....

''No, I didn't hear the count,'' said Liston, who lost on a 12 count according to the timekeeper. ''Didn't you see us start the fight again? When (the referee) stepped in I thought the bell had rung.''

Spooky!
