    Norton also failed to pick up any points for that episode in that round where he imitated Ali with his hands down and accepted several free shots from Ali. I enjoyed the performance, but I believe that it was a bit costly.

    BTW, I'll always be convinced that Norton won that third bout.

    I watched the fight live and the replay and had Norton winning 9-6. Plus I don't care what or who Mercante trained (he is also the same ref that allowed Ali to illeagally hold Frazier behind the head throughout thier first fight), I has Norton clearly winning the 15th round as he dealth out the most punishment by far.
