WBA Title Fight

Champion Chuck “No Doubt” Norton, USA, 23-0-0 (23) vs. #8 Harry Wills, USA, 13-0-0 (12)

Norton is defending his title for the first time in seven months. This is the longest layoff that the champion has ever had outside of the ring. A lot of people are starting to question his dedication and hunger. Norton has been the People’s Champ because he fights with frequency and never backs down from a deserving contender. “The Black Panther,” Harry Wills, is coming off wins over Lance Whitaker and James J. Corbett that have propelled him into the top 10 in the world. Both fighters look like they are in excellent shape. Wills lands the first punch and Norton looks stunned. Maybe not, as the champ fires consecutive shots and looks like he takes the first, 15-8. Wills corners the champ and works on the inside. Wills is the busier fighter this round. Norton is unwilling to get off the ropes and Wills finishes the 2nd round off strongly. Norton rains a combination of blows to the head and body and Wills crumbles to the canvas at the 2:08 mark in the 3rd. Norton is known as an excellent finisher but Wills does a remarkable job by avoiding anymore serious damage to finish the round. The 4th is a wash but Wills looks like he has recovered from the last round. Norton is taking punishment here in the 5th as Wills lands effective punches without receiving any response. It looks as though Norton’s inactivity has definitely affected his ring generalship, defense, punching accuracy and endurance. Wills outpoints the champ 26-3. Round 6 is a terrific round as both fighters exchange punches. Norton doesn’t seem able to sustain an aggressive attack. The 7th is another action-packed round. This fight is very close right now but the 10-8 third round, may eventually be the deciding factor. Wills is hurt here in the 8th. This is definitely the champs best round since his knockdown of Wills. Norton lands a crushing cross to start the 9th. Wills counters Norton and catches him coming in with a sweet uppercut. The referee warns Wills to watch the head butting. Referee Alonzo rules that Wills has blatantly fouled and is disqualifying him! In a stunning finish, Wills is disqualified here at the 1:28 mark of the 9th and the winner and still WBA Champion is Chuck Norton by (DQ9). Cards at time of stoppage: 77-74 Norton, 76-75 Norton, 76-75 Wills.
