LeDoux Rally Falls Short in Norton Draw

In Bloomington Minnesota Scott LeDoux battled Ken Norton for 10 rounds in a packed Metropolitan Sports Center. LeDoux trailed through seven rounds then rallied scoring two late knockdowns but the judges ruled Norton 96-94 and 95-95 with a third 95-94 for LeDoux, yielding an unpopular draw and prompting talk of a rematch. Norton suffered a damaged left eye from an apparent in-fight thumb and dismissed claims of foul play from LeDoux camp. The bout, promoted by Muhammad Ali Sports, set a Minnesota gate record around 150000 dollars with Norton earning 250000 and LeDoux 50000.
