  • Summary Of Phantom Punch By Neil Leifer

    506 Words  | 3 Pages

    The focus of this image is the two men in the center of the ring, Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston.

In the technical sense, some focus is on the middle ground (the location of the photographers shooting the event and official looking men watching) but the focus is mainly on the two boxers to show their importance. These photographers in the middle ground exhibit the popularity and historical significance of this fight as it was the first time Ali and Liston fought since Ali took the title of World Heavyweight Champion from Liston the year before.
