of liston. >> clay's eyes began to burn. he went back to his corner and what people believe now in reretrospekt was that one of liston's corner men put a solution on sonny's gloves so it would get into clay's eyes and temporarily blind him. >> he wants to get up and tell the referee that there's dirty work afoot and the referee started coming to the corner and said get up and he got up and the
