Was Ken Norton Ko'ed Here ?
Was just watching Ken Norton vs Scott Ledoux, Ken Norton was basically dominating until the last 3 rounds. And in the 10th and final round he went down once early in the round.
And then in the final seconds, he was drapped over the ropes and could hardly stand. I'd like to know what people think of this, so here's a clip go to 3:30 and watch the whole of the 10th round.

....Don't know if he was TKO'd but he did deserves a standing 8 count, and if he couldn't come to scratch after that then yes he was TKO'd
Re: Was Ken Norton Ko'ed Here ?
To me he should have been given a count. And since the round was almost over he shouldv'e been let to fight on and most likely would hang on to the end since there were seconds left
Re: Was Ken Norton Ko'ed Here ?
That is a KO with the fighter (Norton) unable to defend himself, a poor refereeing decision.
Norton was spread eagled over the ropes in no condition to continue, the fight should have been awarded to Ledoux who stopped his opponent before the end of the fight.

I agree. He either should have gave him a count or stopped the fight. He should not have done what he did.
Re: Was Ken Norton Ko'ed Here ?
Definately should be a count since he was lying on the ropes, thus thats a technical knockDown . He should get a count and then the fight goes on
Re: Was Ken Norton Ko'ed Here ?
btw this fight was a Draw , i didnt watch till the end. Could be an interesting one to watch and score.
