Larry Holmes got his belt by defeating Norton in a 15 round epic. The fight was a split decision with all three judges having it tied entering the final round and scoring the fight 143-142.

 

It's considered one of the greatest fights in boxing history.

 

Holmes would end up defending that title 20 times before losing it to Michael Spinks however he said the Norton fight was the toughest of his 75 fight professional career.

 

RIP Norton.
