Ali Ali
May 25, 1965
First minute, first round
Ali lays a punch
BOOM!
Linston goes down
the smells of the hot stadium linger
the whole stadium is on their feet
they sound like fighting lions
the furious fighter Ali
stairs down at his defeated
they look him dead in the eye
Linston looks back and sees four
Alis fists so tight
like a baseball to the face
his teeth clenched
his vain are like snakes under his skin
"AHHHH"
Ali lets out his victory cry
the ring side looks like a bright flash of light
at last he is champion!
