After the fight Norton said, ‘I won at least nine or ten rounds. I was robbed.’ Ali said, ‘I had just enough to win. I know I’m the winner.’ Ali said during an interview with Mark Cronin in October 1976, ‘Kenny’s style is too difficult for me. I can’t beat him, and I sure don’t want to fight him again.’
