Ali-Norton on OLN Legends!

Top Rank's 'Legends of the Ring' on OLN will feature Muhammad Ali vs. Ken Norton 1 on Thursday at 9 pm eastern. In 1973, at the Sports Arena in San Diego, Ali was 41-1 and had won 10 fights in a row -- including wins over Jimmy Ellis, Buster Mathias, Jerry Quarry and Floyd Patterson -- when he took on Norton. It was a hard night for Ali whose jaw was fractured in the second round. Norton, with Eddie Futch in his corner, used a fiery jab and won by a split-decision which led to a memorable trilogy.
