Mike Weaver V Orlin Norris

This is a good matchup.. Weaver has the edge in power... i think Orlin is hard to hit flush sometimes,,,Prime for prime I have to go with the more accomplished Weaver... but Orlin is one of my favorite fighters...

 

Weaver shatters his glass jaw, Norris could box, but Weaver is catching up with him, every fighter at world level did.

Especially since weaver could punch and had decent stamina, poisonous combination for someone like Norris who wasn’t a massive puncher, couldn’t keep him off and had a questionable chin.

 

I selected Weaver to win by KO but he would have to be on top of Norris constantly and not let him slip away. It should be noted though that Mike Weaver handled some pretty good top boxers in their primes like Williams, Tate and Holmes

 

True. Bert Cooper managing to beat him doesn’t bode too well for his chances against Mike Weaver.

 

I think Orlin is all wrong for Weaver — too slippery. He’d in and out and side to side him over 12 rounds for a decision, or 15 if necessary. Hercules isn’t great at cutting off the ring and is just too plodding.

 

did you see Norris-Cooper? Ive always wanted to find out details about the fight..

 

I did not. And apparently Norris lost because he twisted a knee or something to that effect but cooper was already leading prior to the incident

 

I've been looking for this fight for years
