    I have not watched it in a while but remember Ali winning the early rounds and Norton sweeping the second half ... the last round Ali won more by flash than substance ... I'll watch it again but clearly feel it was more a draw than any win for Ali ..

    The last round clinched it for Ali.

    He was certainly throwing punches without any discernible sign of any injury. Not saying that he was n't injured,of course.

    I don't often go for draws,but I consider this to have been the fairest score in the Ali-Young fight.

    Ali by one-point, Norton by two in both the other fights.

    Yes both of them stunk, but Young was Prime & Ali was Shot, so Jimmy had no excuses to be so stinky.

    Also Jimmy sticking his head between the ropes did n't earn him any favours.
