WBA Title Fight

[Champion] Chuck “No Doubt” Norton, USA, 25-0-0 (24) vs. [5/9] Teofilo Stevenson, Cuba, 21-4-0 (20)

Norton/Stevenson II. Norton previously defeated Stevenson by (TKO3) in April 1953. Stevenson barely makes it out of the 1st round, taking a huge amount of punishment, 27-0. But comes back and has a nice 2nd, 13-9, landing some stiff jabs to keep Norton on the outside. The 3rd is another big round for the champ, 20-3, as he is able to get inside of Stevenson’s punches to land some hard blows. A wild overhand right lands and sends Norton down to the canvas at the 1:27 mark of the 4th round! Norton is down for the 2nd time with :31 seconds left in the round from a huge right hook. The champ is in bad shape but is able to finish the round. What a change of momentum! Let’s see if Stevenson can follow up and end the fight in the 5th. Norton explodes out of his corner to begin the 5th. It looks as if he is angry at what occurred in the last round and has recovered. Norton lands punch after punch and Stevenson goes down with :29 seconds left in the 5th! Stevenson cannot get up after taking the punishment, 38-2, in the 5th as Norton gets off the deck twice, to come from behind and retain his WBA title with a knockout. What a dramatic turn of events. Stevenson really had a great chance to win the fight and the title especially here at the Cristal Arena in Cuba. Not finishing the fight in the 4th round may haunt Stevenson for the rest of his life if he is unable to win a world title. We will definitely be interested in seeing the scorecards at the time of the stoppage.

Winner: Norton
Result: (KO5)
Cards: 37-36 Norton, 37-36 Stevenson, 38-36 Stevenson
Punch stats: 48.1% - 32.6% Norton
