Yeah i see what you mean about the 'Norton' defence.
For a moment Witherspoon looked nicely tucked up and making Holmes uncomfortable as hell but then they just start swapping right handers like christmas presents!

CC back man. Yeah, these guys, for all theve been touted over the years as skillfull and so on, just look so accustomed to a solid right hander, like its a welcome treat

Lovely stuff. Who said boxing is about 'hit and not be hit'

Im only joking!
He looked close to stopping Holmes until Holmes pulled a right hand out of nowhere and started to win later part of the round if you watch fight at the start Angelo said Witherspoon's style reminded him of Ray Robinson and that Witherspoon's trainer was Slim Jim Robinson and no one would ever fight him because no one could hit the sucka Witherspoon could of beat alot of hws but he let himself go.
