Fascinating. Not only did Wyatt, Dutra, and Gilmore all get knocked out by Norton, they also all fought each other. Wyatt beat Gilmore who beat Dutra who beat Wyatt. That would suggest they're pretty evenly matched and that Norton is being brought along in a deliberate fashion.

One thing I found amusing is to look at this from the view point of Grady Brazell. Imagine a conversation between Brazell and his manager:

"Don't worry, kid. Lots of good fighters lose their first fight. You won your 2nd one, and now I've found you a guy that never fought before for you to beat." No wonder he decided after he fought Norton that he should find another career. He's probably telling his grandchildren right now that he was in the ring with Ken Norton.
