Muhammed Ali Wins a Fixed Match

Sonny Liston takes a dive 30 seconds into the first round. This happened after Muhammed Ali guaranteed a win in the first round by knockout. Tell me this wasn't fixed. Wonder how much money Liston got from the bookies for this ?

I don't want to get into it, because I honestly couldn't care less, but this is the worst possible angle to see Ali's punch. He comes over Liston's are in a very surprising way, and Liston looks into it probably because he was expecting a shot from underneath from how Ali was standing and holding himself.

Anyhow.

It's not unheard of even for professionals to be knocked out by a single punch, so it doesn't have to mean the match was fixed any more than every other boxing match where one fighter wins over the other. All it takes is one solid, connecting hit and it's lights out.
