:09:00
and he went inside and he was crying
:09:03
and he told the policeman there,
his name was Joe Martin,
:09:07
that someone stole his bike.
:09:09
And Joe Martin, he also taught the
little boys how to box in the evening
:09:14
so he asked would he be interested
in learning how to box
:09:18
and he told him yes, because if he
ever found out who stole his bike
:09:22
he wanted to know how to fight
so he could beat them up.
:09:26
(Commentator) An overhand right
sends Sonny to the canvas!
:09:29
Referee Jersey Joe Walcott is trying
to get Ali to a neutral corner.
:09:33
Ali yelling at Liston to get up...
:09:35
- Anchor punch.
- Which fight?
:09:38
I call it the anchor punch.
:09:40
- The one Stepin Fetchit helped with?
- Yeah, man.
:09:45
People couldn't see it,
:09:46
it was so fast Sports Illustrated
got a slow-motion camera,
:09:51
they clocked the punch and the punch
flew at 4/100ths of a second.
:09:55
You can break a second
down to 100 pieces.
:09:57
When people win a ski race
they say one and 16/100ths,
:10:01
one and 32/100ths of a second,
:10:03
so you break a second into 100 pieces
so, you know...that's quick,
:10:08
they got a machine that goes,
like, fr-r-t, real quick, fr-r-t,
:10:12
and it counts real quick, real quick.
:10:15
And by the time that thing
hit four that's how quick,
:10:18
from the time the punch started
to where it landed
:10:21
was 4/100ths of a second,
an eye blink, like a camera flash.
:10:25
That's 4/100ths of a second.
:10:28
When I hit Sonny Liston
all those people blinked,
:10:31
so they didn't see it.
:10:33
- (Laughter)
- I swear!
:10:35
(Ali) If you watch the film close,
keep your eyes real close...
:10:39
- (Laughter)
- Keep looking.
:10:41
I'm getting ready to hit him.
:10:43
You got to hold your eyes and wait
or you won't see it, man!
:10:48
Ali was a beautiful...specimen,
:10:51
a fighting machine.
:10:52
He was handsome,
he was articulate, he was funny,
:10:58
charismatic.
