    This ends horribly for Norris.

    He is just too small and chinny.

    Yes, he is more skilled than McClellan, but that wouldn't matter here.

    Norris has more going on but he gets knocked out.

    Terry Norris did fantastic against smaller fighters who rose in weight to face him or ones that were simply washed up... Gerald McClellan didn't fit that criteria.

    i chalk it up to sour grapes. Norris far exceeded expections

    and this upsets people

    so they take the less experienced, less accomplished fighter to demolish the bettr fighter of the two - in round one, no less

    that makes sense

    "he's just too small and chinny, that's why he only fought smaller guys"

    yet was only about one pound short of making a middleweight

    and since when is 5-10 small?

    Terry would make mince meat of the aggressive flailing yet ineffective G-man

    To be effective in this business, one must be:

    1) Slick

    2) quick

    3) and make your opponent sick

    Remember what the vastly improved Norris did to both Mugabi & Leonard?

    He beat both men at their own game! yes he did, sho nuff!

    Everyone was expecting the beast to take out Terry quick, a replay of the Jackson fight, but to everyone's shock, Terry's quickness and determination decided the outcome of this fight as he bombed out the bomber inside of one

    In the Leonard fight, he beat the five time champion at his own game - boxing, leaving Sugar bewitched, bothered, N bewildered!

    12-zip, that's how I had it

    How did u score it?

    anyways, the way Terry fought that nite, THAT'S how boxing is done. :D

    Not really a fair fight to Terry, McClellan was a 180lb bomber and would destroy the smaller man.

    Norris would batter Mayweather, Whitaker, Trinidad and Delahoya though

    I agree PP... but, that is how Norris made his career, beating on smaller guys...Almost all welters... And the ones who could crack, could get to that chinny,chin,chin ;) I agree, McLellan was a beast !

    speaking of beasts, I have a vivid recollection of how Norris treats beasts

    as in "KO 1"

    :smoke

    see Wayne? Wrong again. maybe you got ESB confused with youtube

    Norris could box with the best (Leonard) and win in overwhelming fashion despite the impossibility

    he could brawl with the best (Mugabi & Curry) and leave 'em lying flat

    and was faster than the fastest of the fast (Taylor)

    Norris was the best elter, jr welter, and middleweight of his time

    Gman took the Hawks biggest punches and kept coming, Norris was also glass chinned and would fall in a very similar manner.
