the announcer needed to just shut up! ~ he was trying so hard to talk up Larry, he forgot how good Kenny Norton was!!! Years later Larry Holmes said his title defenses were playground compared to fighting Ken Norton for the title!

Nortons jab was scoring well in this fight. Great fight close fight could go either i thought Norton won the great 15th round even rhough Holmes finished the 15th round on the attack
