    Simon Brown basically has Norris's number from the get go...he couldn't keep Brown off him him and it seemed like every shot Simon landed was doin damage. But the shot that puts Norris out is absolute brutality..

    Norris never had a great chin, but in this fight he was not focused. He outboxed him in the rematch.

    I dont even think it really was lack of focus on Norris's part..Brown just had his number that night and didnt look good for Norris from the get go!..

    How focused do you have to be to not get floored by a jab?

    One of those rare times when you'll ever see a fighter's legs completely go from a mere jab.

    Norris was a very good boxer. His chin definitely was never top notch but his skills and speed kept him out of danger. As he declined as a fighter his chin was there more for people to hit and you saw how quickly he was out of the sport. Brown could be cracked too, he was laid out by Vincent Pettway in one of the most brutal KO's. Brown was laying on the canvas unconscious punching into the air on his back.

    Jackson exposed Norris' chin inside 2 rds in '89, but Jackson exposed many chins at 154.... Still, Norris was an overall great boxer with good 154 pound power, but his chin was weak....

    You have to have a little better chin than that to last at 154 against guys like this..
