     Will Grimsley, author of 'It was lightning and thunder,' wrote an article on the fiftieth anniversary continuing to display the controversy between Sonny Liston and Ali's title match. Muhammad Ali's victory over Sonny Liston became a huge debate when Liston claimed he never heard the count after getting knocked within the first minute. Liston got back up thinking the fight was still going on. The referee, Joe Walcott, had to break up the fight because Ali had already won. 

     In the informative and debating article, Will Grimsley addresses the idea that this match was a big controversy and many fans of boxing were disappointed and felt that it was rigged. Grimsley's audience seems to be a boxing fan base and people interested in the debate. He included multiple quotes from many different people involved in the dispute. He also asked questions throughout the article to really involve the reader.
