Ken Norton is held aloft while celebrating his shock upset win over Muhammad Ali.
Ali was outmaneuvered by Norton’s unorthodox fighting style, which involved jabbing from below and using a cross armed guard for defense. At the final bell, Norton won on a split decision. Soon after the fight, Ali was treated in hospital for a broken jaw, an injury sustained in the last round of the contest.
“Imagine you have your jaw broken and have to fight ten more rounds.” – Muhammad Ali after the fight
