    Tommy Burns by Ko. Norton had a glass chin and Tommy had the power to ko Norton. Also Norton be comeing RIGHT at Burns. So Burns wont have a hard time finded the mark.

    Norton is definitely not as good a fighter as Jack Johnson and by Norton's time (is that the rule set they're fighting under?) grappling was no longer given anywhere near as much latitude as sixty years before. Burns probably lasts at least five or six, and there is exactly zero reason a KO win is out of the question.

    Norton too strong and physical for Burns.

    If it took place in Tommy's time,though,Ken would have got screwed somehow.
