Sonny Liston vs. Albert Westphal
Convention Hall, Philadelphia
The fight was delayed because the gloves provided for Liston were too small for his hands.
Liston put Westphal down for the count in round one with a right to the jaw. It was the first time Westphal was ever floored.
"Do you think your performance tonight scared Patterson?" a reporter asked Liston. "How long have I been the No. 1 challenger?" Liston asked. "About a year and a half," someone volunteered. "That's how long he's been scared of me," Liston said.
