	The spindly-legged New Yorker gave Cassius Clay quick notice that he had no intention of falling quickly. Early in the first round, he caught Cassius with a hard right to the jaw that shook the cocky one all over. Clay had just leaned his head back and Jones came through with a right. Jones also rocked Clay in the fourth and seventh rounds, and at times made the tall, handsome youngster look like a novice. Cassius was often short with his piston-like left jabs and Jones blocked many other punches. Clay finally penetrated Jones' guard in the third round with snapping left jabs and fast combinations to the head. But not once did the dead-panned underdog waver under fire. When the fourth round started, the crowd roared in anticipation. Cassius bared his white mouthpiece and leered at Jones. But Jones didn't scare a bit. With 15 seconds left in the round, it was evident Jones wasn't going to fall. The crowd gave out the boos. After that, it was a battle between two fair heavyweight—neither in the class with champion Sonny Liston. Jones had the edge going into the ninth. Then Clay opened up. His hands pumping like pistons, he unleashed barrages of eight and ten punches at a clip. Jones took it all and replied with punches of his own. Cassius, however, had a big edge in the last two rounds, especially the tenth, when they staged several hot trades to the delight of the crowd.

	"Doug Jones gave Cassius Clay quick notice that he had no intention of falling quickly. Early in the 1st round, he caught Cassius with a hard right to the jaw that shook the cocky one all over. Jones also rocked Clay in the 4th and 7th rounds, and at times made the tall youngster look like a novice. Clay finally penetrated Jones' guard in the 3rd round with snapping left jabs and fast combinations to the head. But not once did the underdog waver under fire. Jones had the edge going into the 9th, then Clay opened up. His hands pumping like pistons he unleashed barrages of eight and ten punches at a clip. Jones took it all and replied with punches of his own. Cassius, however, had a big edge in the last two rounds, especially the 10th when they staged several hot trades to the delight of the crowd." -Associated Press		"Doug Jones gave Cassius Clay quick notice that he had no intention of falling quickly.
