Superior Muhammad Ali destroyed Sonny Liston over five rounds to book a place in the eWBSS final against either Mike Tyson or George Foreman for the eAliTrophy on Sunday.
Third time was not the charm for Sonny Liston as his eSport character lost to Muhammad Ali just as real-life Liston did twice back in the day to the Greatest of all Time.
eListon, who joined the ‘eWBSS Heavyweight Legends’ tournament as a late replacement for eJoe Frazier, got caught with a series of uppercuts in the first round from the Tournament No 1 seed. Liston managed to counter and score with his right, but at the end of the second round another Ali uppercut sent Liston crashing to the canvas.
A blistering combo from Ali sent Liston down again in the fourth, and in the fifth round it took a left uppercut from the GOAT with a minute to go to put Liston away for good. The ‘Big Bear’ had played its part, but was not able to beat the count.
Ali’s impressive victory sets up for a mouthwatering final as eMike Tyson is facing eGeorge Foreman 7pm (GMT) in Saturday’s big bout semi-final for a place in Sunday’s decider.
The ‘eWBSS Heavyweight Legends’ tournament began on Monday, March 23, and there will be a fight streamed every night until the final on Sunday, March 29. The entire ‘eWBSS Heavyweight Legends’ tournament is streamed on the World Boxing Super Series Facebook page.
The tournament, simulated on EA Sports ‘Fight Night Champion’, is created to provide some much-needed relief and entertainment for fight fans around the world during these testing times.
Remaining eWBSS match-ups:
SF2 – Mike Tyson vs George Foreman – Sat, March 28
Final – Sun, March 29
