Heavyweights: Ken Norton vs. Chuck Wepner

12 to 15 rounds Heavyweight Bout

Norton would easily overwhelm Wepner with his awkward cross-armed crab defense style behind his jabs, body punches, left hooks and right hands that would stop "The Bayone Bleeder" on the cut-eye stoppage in 8 rounds. What do you guys think and who do you got?

I say this one is over sometime between the 4th and 7th rounds. Chuck would remain on he's feet despite taking a terrible pounding from Norton. The referee waives it off because Wepner is badly cut, or because Wepner's exhausted and taking lots of punches without offering return fire.
This :TU:

Best I can see is Chuck Wepner gamely hanging in for quite a few rounds while taking an ass kicking and eventually getting stopped.
