The author takes you back in time when boxing was the true sport of champions. He takes you through the process of the man who was able to bring the fight to Maine of all places. This being the second fight between Liston and Ali. How the fight came to take place in the Lewistown Maine in a High school gym, hockey rink. Even how the town was able to accommodate all of the people for the fight, T.V. and other press, radio, and just the average person that wanted to be there. The difficulties with security and so much more that was not even part of their thought process at the time. You also get a look back at the first fight. A look into both of their career’s to this point, and what both had been doing until the agreement of the fight. Then a round by round description of the fight up to the controversial end where even that has people saying two different things. For me I found this to be an excellent book about a famous sporting event that shows you all of the different sides and the outcome for everyone involved. From the fighters, to the man who worked to bring the fight to the town to the town itself. A very good book about a totally different time.
