The basic summary. See Ken. See Earnie hit Ken a lot. See Ken fall down.


When watching this i was suprised that Norton couldnt keep Shavers off of him. It seemed that weird crab like defense of his hindered his ability to fend off Shavers. He caught Earnie with a couple of shots but had no answers for Shavers haymakers and was stopped in round 1. Short review but i was inspired by Bug Eyed Url. I might do like ten of these tonight because i need to start more activity in this forum

cool. I haven't seen too much of Ken, so I haven't been able to fairly assess him, but I always felt like he was got overrated because his fights against Ali.

Well, if you haven't seen much of him, this is hardly a good fight to get an indication of how good he was. This one was over before it got started.

Watch Norton flay Quarry, limb from limb or outpoint the near outpointable, Jimmy Young and you'll see for yourself that Norton was better than 'just' the guy who possibly beat Ali three times.
