Would Riddick Bowe Break Down Norton..?

Hi Buddy.
Excellent riposte, and you make some stella observations, of which I wholeheartedly agree, always good to cross verbal swords with a poster of your standing and conviction, look forward to our next.
stay safe Phil ( If I may ) chat soon.
kind regards Mike.

 

One thing that makes this problematic for Ken is that he’s a really good body puncher and eventually he lingers too close, too long and Bowe’s about the best in-fighter for a big man there has been.

I think when that starts to happen. Bowe mauls him with short punches and big uppercuts, plus leaning on Norton and some pushing and shoving that just takes a lot out of Ken.

It sets up a KO around 10 or 11 for a Bowe win is how I see it.

 

Excellent post and I agree wholeheartedly that Bowe at his very best is more than most heavyweights could handle. Especially anyone who ended up inside with him, which I think Norton would.

 

The way to beat Bowe is fighting at him distance.

Tubbs gave Bowe problems by boxing and moving as did Holyfield in their 2nd fight.

If you stand and trade with Bowe he will eat you alive.

The way Norton drags his right foot with his unique style he can't box on the backfoot. Hence he will be having to fight Bowe on the inside and that's the wrong tactic.

Bowe is bigger, more durable, better inside fighter, and he would find holes in Norton's defence with his underrated body punching and uppercuts.

I can't see any other scenario but Bowe winning by TKO.
