it was 7 rounds to 7. It came down to the 15th round. Larry closed the show in the 15th round and deserved the decision since he won the 15th. It was dead even until then.
It was very, very close; I had it 144/141 Holmes, but there is a good case for a Norton win.
And although it is not right, Norton was perhaps due the nod, after being unlucky against Ali, in 'The Battle of the Titans' ;)
I had it by 1 round to Holmes, after the first 8 rounds or so, he should never have let it get that close, but Norton was unbelievable brave. If you see the camera poking into Holmes' dressing room with him on a stretcher and the end, you'd wonder who won that fight!
It should be noted Holmes was alledged to of fought the bout with a torn bicep, a slight handicap ;)
Yeh, that could be a very slight disadvantage ;DQuote:
