Tampa Tommy Gomez takes on Sonny "The Bear" Liston in what should be a slugfest. Both fighters have a combined total of 37 wins with all of those wins coming by way of knockout. Gomez keeps the 4th round close after losing the first three rounds by a wide margin. Liston doubles up to the body and puts Gomez down on the canvas in the 5th. A big left hook puts Gomez down for the second time and Gomez is unable to get up. The fight ends with no time left on the clock at the end of the fifth round.

Result: (KO5)
Cards: 40-36, on all three cards in favor of Liston
Punch stats: 47-67, 70.1% Gomez - 171-310, 55.2% Liston
