Gene Tunney vs Ken Norton

Another vote for a Tunney decision.

He'll turn Kenny all night long and just throw 1-2's and move. It'll take awhile for Norton to start to solve that Tunney defense and I just see him losing too many rounds before becoming effective. Tunney doesn't fight stupid and make mental mistakes and I just don't see Norton landing his usual high percentage of body punches to slow a guy down. At the same time, I sure don't see a guy like Tunney having any problems with that cross-armed defense of norton's.

 

Norton bangs out close decision, based on being the stronger of the two fighters.
