Ali Wins Narrow Split Decision In Norton Rematch
Muhammad Ali barely outpointed Ken Norton 7-5 on referee scorecard and 6-5 on another, salvaging a comeback performance in Los Angeles. Norton’s harder blows and Ali's late 12th round surge kept the possibility of an Ali vs. Frazier bout alive amid talk of a heavyweight title showdown and a potential Jakarta bout with Rudi Lubbers. Foreman’s win over Frazier two years earlier frames the era as Ali eyes a next defense likely against Jerry Quarry.
