Though it does bear the rhythm and prose like qualities of a poster on this very forum.
Are you the parphraser? If so....what is/are the source of these "impressions"? By that I mean with WHOM did these "july" events take place? Or DidJuly? By events I mean the "discussion" that was had with Sonny.
I hope I'm not being overly specific here. But when such things are quoted, it's SO nice to have something to connect it to.

Thunderbird Hotel
'SONNY SLAPS CLAY FOR RUNNING HIS MOUTH'
Heavyweight Champion ~ Sonny Liston trapped 'The Loudmouth from Louisville' ~ Cassius Clay
and slapped him across his cheek.
Whether it was staged or not, is to be questioned. But witnesses said that Sonny walked up behind
Cassius who was talking about the Champion very loudly. Sonny grabbed Cassius by the left shoulder
and spun him like a 'spinning wheel.
Then the Champion swatted a surprised Cassius across the face. Stunned, Cassius' eyes welled up with
water, then he asked Sonny, "What was that for."
Sonny replied, "You're getting too fresh out here. Watch your mouth."
"ODDS ON BOUT FOR LISTON - PATTERSON"
* Champion - Sonny Liston remains at {4 to 1} 'man-to-man' to retain his Championship.
* Odds are {5 to 2} that it ends in the 1st or 2nd Round.
* Odds are {4 to 1} that is goes 5-Rounds.
* Odds are {30 to 1} that it goes 10-Rounds.
* Odds are {50 to 1} that it goes 15-Rounds
* Odds are {12 to 1} that Floyd Patterson regains his Championship by a Knockout.

'I make no predictions other than I have just as good as chance in the Ring as Floyd. I don't look
at the Odds. I'd be just as happy if I won by a 15-round Decision instead of a Knockout. It makes
no difference to me.'
'I'm guessing Floyd will be better this time and fight a little different. I figure the fight to go at least
3 Rounds, but no longer than 5.'
