It may have been a helpful addition, but it was not what was decisive. It was Norton's basic crab style which neutralizes work off the jab that made him a problem for Ali. Also imagining Louis trying to see through Ali's feints in order to time him for something like this is sort of funny. Everytime he misreads he is set up for a counter, and Louis is not greased lightning. It won't take any time before Ali realizes what Louis is trying to do.
I have a lot of respect for Eddie Futch. If he says it made a big difference, then it made a big difference.
