    Prime Leonard stops Norris late in a barnstormer of a fight.

    Rooster. You need to go into your "sent" messages from the drop down menu and clear out the outbox messages as well. I tried to reply.

    Tough fight to call. Leonard might've won but Norris would've given him a tough fight. It sure wouldn't have been a one sided beat down like their last encounter.

    and who was I comparing him to? When you compare two athletes of nearly the same style and size, you go with the man that has the greater accomplishments and at 154, that's Terry. Terry has both the accomplishments and a resounding win over Leonard. No debates, no controversy, no split decisions.

    Looks like Heccy Weccy isn't gonna get picked much then :lol:

    I don't want the world to know
    I don't want my heart to show
    Two faces have I
    I pretend that I'm happy
    But I'm Mr. blue
    I pretend that I'm happy
    Since I lost you
    Two faces have I
    One to laugh and one to cry
    Two faces have I
    One to laugh and one to cry
    Will I ever laugh again
    She'll never see me cry
    Will I walk with a smile on my face
    Knowing I live a lie
    I pretend that I'm carefree
    But what am I
    I pretend that I'm carefree
    But I'm living a lie
    Two faces have I
    One to laugh and one to cry
    Two faces have I
    One to laugh and one to cry

    Now look at the flaws in this one here - not realistic at all.

    Most fighters take at least a round to warm up and feel the other guy out. That's what Leonard did. Then he went to work, taking the fight to Norris in round 2. Leonard WAS aggressive and trying to rip combos. Did Terry LET him rip combos on him? No, he smothered him. Did Terry try trading with him?

    No, because that's not the plan his trainer laid out for him.

    In fact, it was Ray trying to impose himself with Terry countering. Of course Ray was the one laying on the canvas and wound up getting hurt. Terry was completely unmarked at the end and had the look of a winner before and after the bout.
