The rematch taking place was fine, but it was about 3-4 years too late.

Taylor took a horrendous beating, but was back in the ring a few months later, and still fighting at a pretty high level if he wasn't what he once was. Taylor's team never should've allowed him to fight Norris. That was an awful choice.

The rematch was competitive too. Taylor started out well, but after the action-filled 6th round, his legs weren't ever the same.
