Oldies: Norman Hayes


He shocked fans when he won a split decision over Lamotta, never saw that- but the 2nd I've seen.



Highlights on this vid IMO doesn't do justice as there was hot action from 2nd round on. When compromised Hayes squares up and - in retaliation he resorts to throwing arm punches.

I read where he also shocked Pender. About 4:30 into this clip is where I recommend looking- again the editor of this video...not sure why he waited till the 3rd round to highlight when in the last 30 seconds of round 2 is when a fire fight breaks out-
