...expensively capped, and his wardrobe apparently includes a loincloth by Balenciaga. But he's tougher than he looks. In one scene he puts his fist through a paving stone (well, anyway, it looks like a paving stone) almost a foot thick. In another, he connects with an uppercut and rockets his opponent 30 ft. into the air. In the last reel that nasty old Kobrak turns himself into Goliath's double, and at the climax Gordon beats Gordon to a bloody pulp, rips off his smiling mask, displays the inside of his head. It looks like the inside...
...Arcy was constantly on the offensive, but his blows tended to be wild and inflicted little damage for most of the fight. In the third and last round D'Arcy finally landed some hard hooks to the body and head and a sharp uppercut to the face, but the barrage came too late.

Sonny landed a left and a right to the body, a hard left to the jaw and followed this with a rare right uppercut. The third round was the only one in which Liston displayed the lethal effectiveness of his Patterson triumphs.

Becoming hysterical, Bearden said that he would commit suicide before he would let himself be killed or captured. Seeing an opening, the Border Patrol's Gilman shot out his fist, dropped the older hijacker with an uppercut so powerful that it fractured his own fist. The FBI man and Simmons sprang on young Cody Bearden and, after ten grueling hours, it was all over. The Beardens, handcuffed, were led off to face life sentences on charges of kidnaping and transporting a stolen plane. Their trip to Cuba...
