      hey bro thanks for asking but ill be very honest with u either my mind is playing tricks on me or VS skips rounds so they'll show like round 1 and then michael buffer will give some trivia and then it will be round 3 and then michael buffer time once again and then round 6, buffer, then round 10 buffer round 11, buffer round 12.

      so my point is i believe unless im completely ******ed they did not show every single round so i can not acurately give u my score card, BUT from the rounds i saw. i see Norton winning most of the rounds that they did show. ALI had some clear winning rounds such as round 8 and i believe 11. round 12 both of them brought it but both was tired as hell. ALI's jaw was broken in the first round so he was OFF point for the majority of the rest of the rounds.

      i dont see ALI honestly winning the fight unless the rounds i didnt see he knock norton down but we know that didnt happen.

      but ironically the rounds that ALI did "DANCE" and move he won cause norton didnt know wtf to do? it like confused norton when ALI moved? interesting

          Interesting. I had a smartass response all ready for the poster who used the adjective "fatal" to refer to an accident Norton survived, but apparently fatal doesn't necessarily mean causing death.

          I did not know that.

                i saw that fight before ... i am not sure i remeber it right at the end, even before the decision, Ali head was all bowed down and probably know he lost...

                but overall even with the broken jaw, it was still a close fight...

                  As most probably know Norton survived the car crash but his injuries were so bad he will be crippled for life. Also he no longer has the ability to speak clearly or smoothly: He used to be the most articulate fighter in boxing.
