Norton's Sixth Fight
1968-12-05
Cornell Nolan - 3-2-0 (2)
From Oakland, California, Nolan had short career of 5 fights. Starting his career with a 5 round points decision over Washington state string bean LJ Wheeler (he was 6' 8") he preceeded to KO fellow Norton fall guy Wayne Kindred in three rounds (also Kindred's second fight). He sends Arizona native Mike Matousek into retirement with 4th round KO, but then runs into a more experienced Jimmy Gilmore who beats him with a ninth round KO. His last fight is against Ken Norton who knocks him out in six rounds.
