Norton VS Ali II

Norton Ali 3, I've always had Kenny pinching it by a round or so. Should have been a 4 th fight!!

Edit, I've made the same mistake as William!
Second fight I always scored Ali by wafer thin knats pube..

 

I think the problem with giving the fight to Norton is that Ali, though harmless, did all the punching for the first four rounds. And he closed with three big final rounds, although I remember 10 and 11 being hotly contested.

 

Ha ha, yeah. Right before you said that.

 

4th fight=1st fight

 

Very witty my friend.

 

Lol it's one drink too many I'm afraid, I can't tell my thirst from my third!!

 

I don't think so. I'm not having any drinking problems and I thought it was the third as well.

 

Oh well, we got there in the end Pal!

 

This is a fight that I never saw where the controversy was coming from. I thought it was so clear every time I've seen it. It reminds me of the second Olivares v Hafey fight in some ways. That fight too I never saw how they got to a split decision or what the controversy was. I thought Olivares had that fight so clean. Anyways, here is how I had it.

California scoring of one point for a round, 2 if there is a knockdown and no points for an even round.

Round 1: Ali
Round 2: Ali
Round 3: Ali
Round 4: Ali
Round 5: Even
Round 6: Ali
Round 7: Norton
Round 8: Norton
Round 9: Ali
Round 10: Even
Round 11: Norton
Round 12: Ali

7-3-2 in rounds but 7-3 on California point system for Ali.

 

I seem to remember Ali taking it 7-5.

 

It's all yours sir..

 

Oh yes, that's being taken by me as well Fergs.
