worldwide connection is complete so I'll tell you one more time missus coming to you live from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas Nevada Don King productions presents the heavyweight championship of the world Ken Norton the champion the Challenger Larry Holmes the fight of bad blood again under the direction of the Nevada State boxing commission and the WBC Jose Sulaiman president we're all set to go my name is Bob Sheridan it's been a hot day here in Las Vegas Nevada but we're indoors in the sports pavilion here that Caesar's Palace a lot of championship fights held here Don King has really done a job putting this one together Kenny Norton has really had a week a tough week for him the week started out everybody thought that the North was going to be heavily favored in this fight the betting odds as we've mentioned still show it that way but Larry Holmes suddenly there's Larry look of confidence a look of determination the fight they call it the fight of bad blood and if you look in the eyes of that Larry Holmes there you can see exactly that there's no joking here it hasn't been the type of build-up that has been commonplace upon this is a serious situation we understand that Larry Holmes was working out Ken Norton walked in and they gotten sort of a shoving match we're back on Tuesday and it wasn't the alley type of hype for the fight this fight didn't need any hype in the past well let's say going back to the thriller in Manila Joe Joe Frazier in Muhammad Ali this is probably the best legitimate heavyweight championship fight of course we [Applause] [Music] [Applause] not looking down not looking into the face of homes homes China Tana Birol said it's ready to go the most pure form of sports the heavyweight championship of the world is just about to get underway third man in the Blayne it's a 22-foot ring they're wearing a town's championship gloves the scoring will be done by three judges that's the 10-point must system the three knockdown rule is way the heavyweight champ [Applause] now remember the fighting styles easy to said the guy that does a lot of kitchen [Music] he's being considered one of the finest boxes in all of Bachchan that his bhakti is not an out of the left of the screen to the right of the screen in the light trucks Larry Holmes lightning left hands he can count a punch level [Applause] you know the world title at stake pretty good pace for round one we expected the fighters to feel each other out a little bit more but these guys do not like each other has a look of determination both fellows finely-tuned finely conditioned athletes beautiful looking men physiques of both of these with lightening left catches going on top of the head go damage done Larry Holmes is actually a bit power maybe by a half an inch maybe as much as an inch pony on the Saturday chunks of penny North not in the ex-marine had his shot at winning the titles of Muhammad Ali do it very disputed very disputed match again right now he's gonna have his hands full with Larry Holmes WBC rule that he would be champ and champ he is [Applause] Richie Giachetti the Mantis trains Larry Holmes foaming he'd stay away sandbox away from not get tied up in the ropes where Norton down which is a tough row to hoe Norton has had the experience of going 15 tough rounds on a couple of different occasions [Applause] the best physical very strong homes in the chest Larry outside coming in hitting doesn't get hit excellent slipping punches there's the lightning left hand his right hand is just this which causes Norton [Applause] right which will cause in trouble with the left hands before this fight is over sorry [Applause] great conference in the eyes it is old heartline it's been important work [Music] [Applause] pretty exciting round one a bit around one that we thought we have an even round one now we got a chance to show you Ken Norton will tell you a little bit about it he's considered a good boxer he's got a good left jab which we said he doesn't use enough round one was a example of that watch the exchange we have coming up when we wait for round number two Holmes to the left of your screen okay nothing there at all nothing there so far and again good positioning by Kenny Norton there no damage done they're paying a good shot they're probably the best shot of the fight the first real good right hand that Larry Holmes threw good left hook that time so it's a confidence-building round for Larry Holmes you look at Kenny Norton if there was a weakness I'd say that it would be that Kenny Norton can be hit by uppercuts in clothes and he has poor mobility to his left which leaves him vulnerable for the left hook Brown to schedule for 15 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] one of the great Trinity but all the time [Applause] pop irony bill Slaton we'll slate the 1977 trainer of the year gotten to the right homes of respect you now and see the hand speed and tremendous hand speed of Larry Holmes [Applause] one question mark [Applause] and he doesn't have the quick movement then ability to slip punches that Larry Holmes says Holmes and scoring punches at will here in round 2 notice how he stays outside the crunchy area of Norton both of these fellows extremely strong Larry Holmes 11 pounds letter 209 his reach is an inch shorter 79 is wrong is Kenny Norton age difference we mentioned a million dollars goes to homes for this one's two million to the champion [Applause] as what I told you about the uppercut look for that uppercut because Holmes rather Norton the way he leans over see the way he leaves his bunny leaves his buddy [Music] Larry's hand speed good look to the side of the head this shot of the fight so far [Applause] very home [Applause] sit away Norton business [Music] [Applause] like you've really taken Cavanaugh's only to a certainly saving sports [Applause] Larry Holmes fighters Kenny Norton is [Applause] the hands feet is the story here like looping hooking these shots today trying to get to the head of [Applause] I think Jen don't you just realized [Applause] goes to Larry Holmes Brown one very even we go to the corner now as you look to the corner there of Larry Holmes standing we'll tell you a little bit more about the stronger points of Ken Norton he has staying power I remember I told you about the uppercut that Larry Holmes would find it with that way that Norton moves his body will watch this shuttle [Applause] ma'am didn't catch him really hard he caught him just a little bit to the side of the ear but if Norton continues to bend over like that he's going to get himself in trouble as Larry horn pride of Easton Pennsylvania they color the Easton assassin why wouldn't they 27 and old [Applause] educated fighter with educated hands people must've told him he's going to pick it up and try to take the man in this let no part of it [Applause] mr. Beach Norton to the punch at Willie City this is the way a young Ally used to score punches [Applause] so far Kenny Norton has when I say anything and talking about real heavy blows Larry Holmes hands Larry stays just outside the reach just outside as a punching area of Kenny Norton so he's not hit by that Norton takes a while left hooks at him he follows up with a crisp left-hand shot right rotation bit more Larry Holmes looking great so far controlling the fight at this point a supply that is - surely Kenny Norton is not getting his punches off first [Applause] what this strong is a man could take a guy out with one punch what does he stuff [Applause] Larry Holmes is billy confidence now he had tremendous confidence i spoke to him yesterday but lemon had no confidence like you showing in the ring rate [Music] [Applause] mold is actually good Norton confused [Applause] homes a real won't look at his eyes the Facebook or college month away and Norton's only hope that is along Wilson Cryder left hand [Applause] torso what's the quickness look down when [Music] [Applause] [Music] start circling to the left causing problems for [Applause] a little bit better second marriage people anything heavy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Saurus Larry state just outside he puts his head to the left in size [Applause] Oh one of the great men for punching back peddling very few to kill kaalia [Music] [Applause] [Music] that tells you again where we are the provision at Caesars Palace a more even round we go to the corner of Larry Holmes [Applause] I mention he's considered the finest boxer in the heavyweight division with his hand and foot speed and I think for the first time people around the world know who Larry Holmes is now his best punch of course as you saw the left jab he sets up combinations off that left now we're over to Kenny Norton's corner again Kenny does not have that real great authoritative look in his eye that he had when the fight started I wonder if he's been psyched I don't know Ken Norton said gentlemen he's a competitive athlete great high school athlete has been a great athlete his entire career he's determined he's got everything he wants it's coming down to a question of ability we're going to find out before it's all over just who has the most a very even fight to this point [Applause] round four scheduled in 15 is all world title fights are I'm a look file a Holmes is actually an inch taller about 1/2 to 3/4 anyway [Applause] heavier at least at the way in what they are today who knows the way in yesterday they kept the fighters apart to avoid an confrontation like they had earlier in the week they don't like each other you know got about that Richie Giachetti they coming to analyst Larry home somebody wanted him to stay away early but he it allowed not to take the fight to him but he wanted Larry to control him and he's done exactly that so if you go by that time score bike [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] as well Kenny gets out one or two that takes his total see what I mean about Larry Holmes setting up on the left hand the left jab left jab bill hooks the body no drop the right hand watch him now see that lightning left it comes from the hip Allah leaves [Applause] in Basra Valley tremendous amount gone about some 40 rounds of them but Larry Holmes as the experience of going over a couple hundred rounds [Music] [Applause] [Music] rather for Norton now homes staying away from most and his best rounds the last round and that that it was still an even round Larry Holmes is definitely beating him to the punch and scoring more punches pushing away a lot of punches or that lightning right hand she was [Applause] [Music] Oh No vinegar getting it visibly shaken homes working in the head of the speed of the hands and the speed of the legs it's so far Larry Holmes hasn't used his legs to his advantage which he's famous for its Alban his hands the punch first time looking like he's huffing and puffing there's a light left in there in the eyes of homes Sid good shot a Norton looking for his shot to see the head spin quickly the alertness of the quickness of Holmes good combination man to the head but Richie Giachetti again the manager handles Holmes wonderful combination of muscle in scores to the body are good stuff fourth round is complete [Applause] so we go to the corner now between round four and five Kenny Norton will talk a little bit more about them some of the things you may or may not know he was presented the WBC heavyweight belt March 29th based on a 15-round decision over Jimmy young back in November right here at Caesars Palace he's intelligent he's cool we talked about his great competitiveness a fact that he won ten letters but right now let's show you how Larry scores a few punches here inside nothing too serious there watch the right hand an amazing paying over the left over the left not a damaging blow but souls over a period of rounds can take their toll sets him up again bang didn't really score with that not as solid as I thought it wasn't we called it originally on the replay okay here we go round five Larry Holmes fill with confidence Kenny Morton showing a little bit more concern he said before the fight for me yesterday respect for home doesn't particularly respected as a human being that has all respect in the world as a boxer for Larry home Larry but showing little respectively [Applause] finish the table like that we're going to see somebody go down before this thing's over we're in round five the fight a visibly shaken neither fighter visibly hurt neither fighter has been cut my name's Bob Sherman glad to be with us for this Heavyweight Championship [Applause] boxing not surprising at all Kenny Norton as his hands full the champion of the world in the Lupron space all hand speed so far and it's all good [Applause] but that shows you that homes to take [Music] points I'd say it [Applause] for punches like that and it doesn't take anything follows-up Larry Holmes to break back so that shows me he can take a shot [Applause] that was incorrect [Applause] now both of them [Applause] poom scores again Dennis standing just toe-to-toe the rage is waning away to the left hand taking us lady [Applause] both up at the same why with the writing process Kenny has good hands paid for heavyweight malaria so exceptional in a corner of Larry Holmes yelling move Larry move stay away from the slide you left keep moving use those legs the Larry wants to trade punches with them one thing that there he goes now Felicity to this point I was just going to say takes direction castles like that [Applause] Redd Foxx at night Barry Holmes has the Maldives copied everything from Ali [Applause] Larry has great foot great legs educated late described another even round I would have to say [Applause] coming up to round six I believe become a percent six for the class fight all that means is one thing that she's excitement out there that is keeping their interest that's right that's right you know notice so far and I reiterate this is unofficial at ringside I have brown one I have Larry Holmes running around - I have three even I have Holmes winning four and a half five even the story is closed here the 10-point must the three judges the distorting is not the referee by the way we look at Larry Holmes but rather Kenny Norton coming up to round six people from the Norton stamp say that he's been in the best shape of his life in others whose diet by the boards of preparations complete there is no tomorrow it's all on the line right now one of these fellows will not be champion one will be felt the sitting idle with a WBC man right now one of them will wear it out of here can he know it to the right home is beating Larry Holmes you can see it now his eyes is great bring awareness great pomp and look where Kenny has more than concerned determined hugger type design [Music] [Applause] this is what they want home to do [Applause] not Halle time [Applause] [Music] and this is why so many people Larry Holmes will take the championship [Applause] [Music] in continues to press the fight Larry Holmes in let's jab is really a bunch of ghosts you have the right hand spins of Norton stood round Valeri [Applause] they're getting a little puffy underneath the left eye Holmes's face it visibly that jab continued in the face of Norton's before [Applause] [Music] the good weather homes cuddle with a good body pumps downstairs foundation some evidence [Applause] very well-aware does the uppercut is repeat punch bones [Applause] they came right back Marin's going to move a little bit more knows that he really [Applause] Hill Street Mercer Larry Holmes [Applause] there he goes now he's back in the stones doing what he does best moving is who's left very slices right this is where Nora's awkward [Applause] style with the left foot in front and dragging his right foot he's very difficult for both fighters the early part of the round a certain was Larry Holmes all away and then Norton scored a cup of real good shots let's watch this replay we'll have a replay coming up I'm sure as we're here we go now that's the jab of course you don't need me to tell you that but that's the one that's getting through there a lot causing the puffiness good right hand and that's what I mean about Holmes being able to take a shot as far as I'm concerned they said he could take a shot but he was untested at this point there's the ice on the eye as he mentioned seeing last round study getting coffee okay I see I have Ken North so it was the type of around round six that Holmes when the first part of it and certainly Norton won the second part of it so I would have to score to even and again my scoring is unofficial after the fight Larry Holmes all the suspension I'm not a judge I'm an announcer do the best I can snoring there we go again round seven scheduled for 15 anyway two championships Kenny Norton holding the title [Applause] move more and inspection that Kenny Norton would be to try and cut him off in the corners there's the jab in the face of north the mobility both ways that Larry Holmes says that Larry hasn't been using it a tremendous amount in this fight Larry's fighting more flat-footed than I've seen him fight and I'm sure his point would like to see him he is the one out is some good moment there [Applause] a lot of people came up from Easton Pennsylvania you see California allows to see Kenny not in the heavyweight champion Kenny tries to work downstairs and immediately the Challenger Holmes ties him up its Holmes to the left of your screen and coming into the screen now facing you is Kenny Norton to the left hands there's the foot movement that the corner of Holmes wants him to use to come in and out punch going away very few people could do it pound fight Chicago made that famous and then Along Came alley Holmes's copy [Applause] Holmes is what I would call a master of avoiding shots hallo he's been hit a couple of times watching his punches watching cause Northman which is frustrating big and strong and composing and he's very frustrated is a great confederal [Applause] Larry spins it around showing his strength Norton for the first time gave that glare back at him but you know control to me friend [Applause] no more concerns oh good left four pitches watch Larry pick it up now sighs to pick it up immediately to get that right back very busy takes a lot of leather [Applause] [Music] Kenny Norton the bill sounds it number seven Oh times during the round when home is exceptional time is around the kiddin walkers accept to be 100% honest with you I can't make up my mind how to score this one and if that's the case of one I have to make it another fairly even round and lean a little bit towards Larry Holmes [Applause] working on the left eye with Kenny Norton which could become a factor later on down the line for sure a shot at this man it's really put him in the high ranking [Music] control the fight against Earnie Shavers second March [Applause] now let's see if the face change already good right hand [Applause] [Music] he's got that look back in his eyes now the look of determination has got the concern [Applause] which is a kid again for me warning a triple up double up to those punches such a great competitor the study not like each other [Applause] [Applause] moving left in a looping right and to put this shows inside as the looping hand and then again the quickness inside [Applause] [Music] was actually home to feed sighs the looping huh [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so Larry gets on the bicycle and [Applause] [Music] whereas the best advantage now moving around while is Kenny with the left foot scores a series of less there while was it with the right again [Applause] Norton is forcing this fight much more than I thought he would he's been the aggressor continually fought to fight was able to beat [Applause] aggressiveness going looking for the opportunity of memories man but Holmes not giving in it's one of the better rounds for Ken Norton by the way [Music] [Applause] [Music] good right hands for bail most punches are landing that's gotta be taking their toll [Applause] nation by the champion good domination good uppercut that Saturday home [Applause] he really wants to meet you can taste it he won't have him so hard Larry Holmes's take that if you want to taste [Applause] referee separate than the people like this one I told you going into it or beat one of the best and it has been that round has a go to getting organ [Applause] the reiterate of it back years we go down the line round one even a who's winning - ahead three even at Florida home five six and seven all even Kenny Norton I gave him that one on the basis that he did score some pretty heavy blows during round number eight back in the sixth round Norton a little puppy on that I that they working on right now again in his corner bill Slaton Byron those lady foster 1977 manager [Music] she kitty working on Larry Holmes on the wheelchair malukas [Music] [Applause] we'll present there we go round 9 Larry came out like this in round 8 and scored three quick ones now let's see what he does with this one he can't allow it people in the corner of getting up he gonna get off first get out first he wants to win the fight that's what he shut the door cause she wants the winner like the pistol he has to be the winner [Applause] that kid stops the quicker hands of Larry Holmes is a few of those heavy blows of Northcote land that'll slow down homes a hurry now homes say keep him up you couldn't beat his lips there I didn't hear that the same as you did [Applause] but in round nine this is scheduled for 15 quick shot final at that time but again the head of Holmes just another good right hand then Holmes can take his shot he showed me something here he can take his shot that left jab in the face of Morton but the heavier blows that they have been landed by Kenny Norton hello it's hard to tell exactly how heavy because the way Holmes moves his head so quickly [Applause] that's the one thing you missed when you're watching television can't tell the heaviness of the punches I'll tell you right now these jabs a light tell you when they get heavier by either man that was a heavy jab in fact that was more than just a heavy jab that was a punch [Applause] now as that looked back in his I had to determination like he's looking for shot to one world the right hands and by the fact that he's circling to his left on various from invasion but Norton doesn't allow him to get her off to the credit of getting off the world owns the circle left and try to get more clean that shows you the alley type of style of homes anyway walk away from that Jimmy Ellis is famous throughout looking down push to the left with his left is drop Kenny Norton heavyweight champion of the world and wants to keep it lord knows he went long enough for a title [Music] Larry Holmes circling bankers right now really good shot I'll tell you Holmes could really take a shot because that was a good boy nope legs are home good shot by Kenny Norton [Applause] a few more points [Applause] that one missing is 40 real good shots in Israel based on those heavy blows I got to lean to Ken Norton in that one again although the accumulation of punches again the scoring system and the positioning of the judges and all is what it's really coming down to there's not a whale of a lot of difference in the scoring of any of these rounds but the heaviest shots that I saw for from the hands of killing Norton's on giving him round 9 which means at this point in the fight I have it scored dead even watch this shirt coming up by Kenny Norton watch him now keep an eye on this what a shot that was many a many a fighter would have been off his feet with that one still working on the corner now and in the left eye there of Kenny Norton that right hand would have flattened many many fellas that answers the big question I mentioned a couple of times and will reiterate again that Larry Holmes can take a whale of a shot [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and punches possibly from Holmes viewpoint to that left I try and shut up and work to the other one [Applause] Holmes knows he's got to get something cooking here now because the fight is at a point where storing more shots replacement one did not score by the way [Applause] Lari show a little more respect [Applause] now this also is a point where [Applause] getting into the 10th round now a territory that Larry Holmes doesn't know 10 11 12 13 14 15 does in there Kenny Norton has been there many many shampoos for men staying power all of the people fifteen yet some two hundred thousands of box and preparation for this issue preparing for but Benny Norton and the truth test for the title has been there before [Music] to score this upper leadership [Applause] a little concern with the deflation home to determine roulette in the face of Norton you just scored they're pretty good right hand Larry's got to get a little more offensive-minded now [Applause] I'm looking real strong here [Applause] first bedtime [Applause] there's the great quickness in the head of Larry Holmes and chief jabs out there by Norton and to get Norton has good hand speed but it doesn't look as great because Holmes's exceptional hand speed [Applause] that one is stuck in this north you can take a shot too the only time that he couldn't was against [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Larry Holmes and Kenny Norton at stake the heavyweight championship of the world Holmes is kind of gone on a defensive [Applause] maneuver here Brad ten and he scores with that left hand Larry really had the sport too much in this round save a little bit of energy and let but rather Norton kind of smoked himself out of it they give that round again at Kenny Norton again I reiterate this is only unofficial score the last three rounds in favor of Ken Norton which puts in slightly out the front in the fight when my scoring is anywhere is near accurate but again the vantage point of the judge we're doing all the story not the referee but the judges do the scoring here can give a different viewpoints so if you went in a couple of points of each other at any time it doesn't mean a heck of a lot [Applause] Norton with a determined look on his face we're coming up to round 11 now we enter a territory that Holmes hasn't been to accept the first couple of times Changez unit 12 [Applause] see if Norton Pfizer really maintained they continue to ride Holmes was trying to coast a little bit come back and take the man point in the place known for stamina can go the distance at vicious battles of alley over the vicious battle with Jimmy Jung as aggressive as he was early in the fight he's backpedaling backpedaling hitting while away he wants to regain the command that I thought he had early in the fight it's gonna have to that's going to go punch he likes to do Lake Norton with Bob we'll catch him off balance drop it again [Music] people now [Music] one thing the fans like is the aggressiveness and infinity steps back is constantly after homes all the time [Applause] are they getting hilarious yelling that like the alley Janet's the Larry Larry the two here which gives him a little extra sigh condenses something pumped up there anyway see that enthusiasm back in his faces he feels the crowd sway to his side it's published footpad Norton so close and of course people's living so close I should say from sentient [Music] and of course Holmes the big crowd up to eastern Pennsylvania [Music] [Applause] that looked a lot better than it really was but Larry is going to get more aggressive [Applause] defensively now [Applause] that does Acacio because he was an aggressive [Applause] [Music] shouldn't allow himself to get on the ropes took a good shot that time [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] well we'll be approaching the polls right now we go back to well now we're over the corner of poems that I'm sure gkt is telling him I get the last four rounds going to I wasn't quite sure for the HIV Norton is definitely landed more punches as Larry's gone strictly defensive we hear them yelling Norton Norton Norton now is his foot proud here no matter who wins they're all going to be for the champion [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all right here we go [Applause] see if he takes the direction of Richie Giachetti does very home [Music] can control the last couple around homies never become more aggressive that's what's at stake [Applause] to force to fight [Applause] the flared style so little fire she's not doing at this particular moment [Applause] just ducked away from that [Applause] see the look of concern the face Norton's punches look awfully strong off a powerful [Music] [Applause] homes to the right nor to the left continue the aggressive [Applause] [Music] a little bit more coupling with the left hand [Applause] and sport for the good this time and again [Applause] left eye of Kitty North is really swollen now [Applause] Larry Holmes until you might be slightly I'm weary now as they were before and Norton I was looking stronger all the time [Applause] kokapetl despite [Music] [Applause] fatigue is setting a bit bike but there's a good shot Larry Holmes has got to try and pick up the pace a little bit more a little bit more even than the rest that the aggressiveness of Norton store [Music] [Applause] Bell in [Applause] the first time we see fatigue set in - both fighters Billy score that one even [Applause] [Applause] the way we haven't scored as we look for the corner once again of Kenny art here there's 128 126 unofficially out in the front is Ken Norton we have three rounds to go which means that Larry Holmes must win two out of three to have any shot and he must win the last round convincingly if he has to take this title away from Ken Norton Norton's been involved in close decisions most decisions he's won against Jimmy young close decisions he's lost against Muhammad Ali he's been victimised one way gifted another way sorry Holmes city should stay way that was a fight plan but now he's got to become more and take the fight to him but see if he can Norton will continue the aggressive Holmes has a good look back in his eye now the rest bidding between rounds they didn't see what I could see that alert look in his eye be aggressive he's not starting up that way this right [Applause] [Music] betta combinations in the fight have been scored by homes two heavy punches their outstanding punches have been scored by water [Applause] slightly of and he's just released [Applause] we're in sports she's got the do but he's gonna use that right hand and double up with the left the fatigue exposure Mary's but he's still scoring more punches now [Applause] keep your table on the left and pick a shot use the right hand mole now looks like a better Larry home all right good shot by Holmes that time spins ahead of Norton now where he's taking the fight back come on glowy backs up [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] these punches look much heavier [Applause] stay off of those ropes like a little bit more [Applause] a little bit jellied like [Applause] [Music] [Applause] taking the vision alone [Music] [Applause] taking another shot these stories right and he needed it and you can see when that water comes from the corner they know it Larry Holmes unable to tumble onto the canvas but we can take a shot he can take away love his shot I'm scoring that round Kenny because more wood he punches the score than any other round at least 10 binary homes I have a fight dead even right now [Applause] no it's the heaviness of this show what's the head not there keep your eye peeled not yet you'll see when it comes [Applause] now suddenly the crowd is yelling live here Larry Larry but let's watch this [Applause] well we didn't really get the shots there but what's more important is round 14 and again I have the fight dead even right now [Applause] we're in round 14 [Applause] fight see the fighter has been died Wadley in the first [Applause] Holmes must continue unofficial the judges of the story here where does homes which is frustrating where he has a real alert look back in space even while Norton looks to be really much more aggressive punches don't seem to have [Applause] [Music] really wobbly now timing is gone that's completely because Larry Holmes is to take as well but not his bad he beats into the punch counter puncher there pushes him off the ropes you can see Norton's legs a rubbery his knees [Applause] I don't even want to say the word gone but his legacy showing more fatigued at home [Applause] what a powering inside a nothing 20 of and the advantage of either fighter on this to the side stuff Holmes got to step back and take longer shots now Bonz looks to be more fresh to me right now [Applause] coming in all the time [Applause] Larry just step back and I almost have take a side with him to catch you Freddie [Applause] as Larry on the mole this is a should continue this bill is causing I forgot [Applause] Kenny Norton doesn't bag up though continues to pour on he knows how important it is to be aggressive for the good [Applause] trying to take them in of this not one coordinators [Applause] it's a very difficult to score but I almost have to give it a Kenny Norton and throughout the round Holmes look pressure to me but Norton scored more punches Larry fought defensively I have it scored unofficially again a recap because we're heading to the 15th round I had the first round even I had round two for Holmes three even four for Holmes five six and seven even than Norton took command in the eighth round for four rounds eight nine ten eleven I had 12 even thirteen was a very very strong round for Larry Holmes but he did not continue it slightly by the fact that he was more aggressive in the fourteenth round of gave at the Norton again my scoring is unofficially and again it's only one point apart going to 15 this should be one-way love Oh marbles on the the booth [Applause] anyway title [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Larry cannot let it continue like this we're going to lose the fight which that close [Applause] he's just waiting for about halfway through the round he's going to explode [Applause] Larry home Larry missing both fight is very very tired Holmes has gone this far Larry has got to explode here if he's gonna win this fight is gonna just get a second win explode raised at least halfway through now round 15 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] comes back expose a real good shot ahead of [Applause] so food finest away [Applause] let's go [Applause] it's going to be very good to force a miracle [Applause] [Music] Oh unofficially I personally think Norton won the last round we'll switch over to our handheld mic and go into the ring now [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] obviously homes people think he is won the fight [Applause] with beers Jose Sulaiman Jose could you mention against who's won this fight no but I'm very proud of all of him what fight I mean the best fight that I have seen in many many years Jose

title Kenny Norton finish very strong too close for me to call [Applause] we will attempt to talk to the fighters it's still too difficult to be able to call it the people in homes aside feelings here's one the title here comes the decision now let's listen we have a split decision it's a split decision [Applause] 1:43 142 home one judge 143 142 homes one point separating the fighters with that judge doors 143 142 Norton 143 142 Norton and all the things in the final judge scores hit 143 142 for the new [Applause] would be one comfortable to the cool in Manila one that was fought like Valley and Frisian number three it was done this time and I feel that I feel that ahead Larry Holmes in his work he did his work well you can see it was a big complaint you could have been an either or all the way home scheme very problem people because I had know that I started can you show what I happened engine do to a ghetto kid you just may be going the wrong way and if you put it means about give some consideration some love some compassion and understanding they can rise from the spawn of the Phoenix in every way champion the world indeed the whole pride you add on congratulations

Dante is going to attempt to get the champion over here for us no attempt to get the champ over here [Applause] very disappointing to Kitty Norton and of course the people in the corner of Larry Holmes had no doubt from the way they reacted when we came in [Applause] we're still attempting to get to the champion the new champion of the world [Applause] there's still waiting to get to the champ as you can see as with all heavyweight championship fights pandemonium in the ring Larry Holmes is on his way over we're try and get to him again don't know if we can or not [Applause] I'm afraid Mary's slipping away we're still attending in a game there and of course with a situation in the ring I don't think we'll be able to get to him trying to slide down the way okay so that's the situation here a big major upset then they fight we're jaws Ocasio upset Jimmy Jung and then of course this one would have to be considered an upset by the bidding anyway a tremendous fight for Larry Holmes was now the new heavyweight champion of the world is a great fight no question about that and that's all we can really tell you from here there's a lot of people we want to thank we don't have time to do it so we just thank everybody that was involved in the telecast thank everybody here at seizes world Bob Sheridan telling you one final time we do have a new heavyweight champion of the
