NEW YORK, N.Y. - Just months before the 50th anniversary of the heavyweight rematch between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston, boxing fans are getting a chance to own a piece of one of the most hotly debated title fights of all time.Both pairs of gloves from the May 25, 1965, bout in Lewiston, Maine — won by Ali with a first-round knockout from what some saw as a phantom punch — go up for auction Feb. 21 in New York. They are expected to fetch more than $1 million.Footage of the fight does not make it clear whether Alis quick right hand actually connected, and many fans booed.
