Talks about his first time boxing and a few of his fights. --- Boxing interviews need to be taken with a grain of salt. That said, Sonny comes across very low key and well spoken for a guy who dropped out of elementary school and never projected to be more than a low rent sharecropper trudging behind his rented mule at best. The first interview is 1959-60 from the subject matter, and the last in after he suffered a surprising knockout loss to Leotis Martin ten years later. Wow, and the age put on his face in just those 10 years and Howie made up in toupee and stage makeup rubbing in some misery before releasing him to his uncertain future that turned out to be prematurely fatal. Those were some very tough years with the most fatalities in boxing as the mob ran amok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GianMan Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Re: Sonny Liston Video Interview This interview really showed the more gentle side of Liston, something most people didnt think he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
