The two combine to produce a really eerie effect, the crowd noises, the announcer jabbering, and in the background Knopfler almost whispering, "Sonny's going down for miles and miles..."<BR/><BR/>And yes, Liston must have felt like he was fighting a ghost that just brushed his gloves from time to time.
