In the late hours of Oct. 26, 1970, and into the early morning hours of Oct. 27, the most famous armed robbery in Atlanta history happened. And it was right after the city's most famous sports event in its history, up until that time: Muhammad Ali's return to professional boxing in a sanctioned fight at Atlanta Municipal Auditorium against Jerry Quarry. 

Jeff Keating is president of Doghouse Pictures, and hosted a podcast entitled "Fight Night and the Million Dollar Heist."
