15/Hwy, who wins?

Prime Ellis was actually a very good fighter with quick hands and a little power. Unfortunately he also tended to slow down in the later rounds, while Norton in his prime could fight at pace deep into fights

Norton by stoppage sometime after the 5th

Ken stops him mid rounds. Ellis was the type of fighter Ken did well against. He had problems, obviously, with the big punchers who just banged right through that cross arms defense of his.

Ken Norton wins by knockout in 7 or 8 rounds. I just can't see where does Jimmy Ellis wins this fight.
