Cleveland "Big Cat" Williams = Georgia Bulldogs! Good eye, only a real fight fan would know who that was! I was going for a certain A.J. Martin in the Omaha Civic Center, you always said you knew how many lights were on the ceiling! That fight was one of the Astrodome series that Ali did back in the day. Ali's next fight after his return to the United States was against Cleveland Williams in the Houston Astrodome. According to Sports Illustrated, the bout drew a then-indoor world record of 35,460. Ali ended up beating Williams in three rounds, with Bert Sugar calling it Ali's greatest ring performance.[26] Williams was recovering from being shot at point-blank range by a Texas policeman a year and a half before, resulting in him entering the fight missing one kidney and 10 feet (3.0 m) of his small intestine, and with a shriveled left leg from nerve damage from the bullet that was still lodged in his body.
