thank you as you at the Sports locked out here
outside YouTube space LA we're still trying to get the studio together so I
really appreciate you guys being patient with me and with you I T sports at this
very moment
unfortunately said there's occurred in the boxing world as
a a legendary heavyweight not even a legendary you could say one of the best
ever in a time when heavy weights were not even a dime a dozen
they were a hundred a dozen there were plenty of heavyweights to go around one
of the best ones out there 10 Norton senior
died today at the age up seventy he started boxing as a matter fact
in the marine course a and and to
to to be factual about his story because it is
tremendous build people thought that he was lifting weights he never
lifted weights ever incredible to hear that now he
beat Muhammad Ali he broke his jaw in the second round amazingly Muhammad Ali
finish that Matt in 1973 I we would get his revenge
twice one of those being at Yankee Stadium however
that the third that the end to their trilogy the third match
at Yankee Stadium Ken Norton thought he won it seem like it came down to the
15th round
and yet Muhammad Ali outpointed Ken Norton senior
now Norton then later or what later on was an actor he was a broadcaster
and again just one of the most notable heavyweights
you could say he's Eva least at least top 25 again in a time where
heavyweights
were were dominating the boxing scene its own its
it's sad to see him go and he suffered so many health problems down the
down the stretch have above life yet three strokes he suffered from prostate
cancer had a heart attack
quadruple bypass surgery in 1986 unfortunately had a car accident
which is lesson with broken ribs at the time
broken legs a broken jaw fractured skoal and it is amazing career he was 42 71
with 33 knockouts the only heavyweight champion
to never win a title fight he also fought Larry Holmes in 1978
and hold the one that in 15 rounds and
it's possibly one of the best fights ever if not ever than top 5
obviously Larry Holmes one of the best ever was the heavyweight champ for the
next seven years
and Ken Norton senior retired in 1981
now what many people thought gave Muhammad Ali problems was his
awkward style and throughout those matches Muhammad Ali
his jabs were were not necessarily landing because they were falling short
surprisingly if it to ever hear that about Muhammad Ali
the Ken Norton senior again retired in eighty-one died today at the age of
seventy
won the best heavyweights of all time so r.i.p
