This was Norris's last fight at the age of only 31 years old ! He retired due to pugilistic dementia and Parkinson's disease caused by his boxing career. This affects his speech and coordination. He was so athletic, turned down a mlb baseball career. imho he fought too many fights too young and in such a short time span and also too long in the amateurs with almost 300 fights and only 4 loses It is sad because he was the best in his era as light middleweight and he peaked in his mid 20's ! He beat or KO'd the best in his prime including Jorge Vaca, KO'd John Mugabi for the WBC light-middleweight title. and thus starting what would be the first of three reigns as champion. UD win over Sugar Ray Leonard 1991. Norris scored two knockdowns against Leonard . His next defense, a June victory over another former undisputed welterweight champion - Donald Curry - further cemented Norris' place in the history of the 154-lb division as Norris wore down his foe and knocked him out in the eighth. Other prominent foes in that first reign included the tough future middleweight titlist Jorge Castro, and two reigning welterweight champions; WBA title-holder Meldrick Taylor, and IBF title-holder Maurice Blocker. Norris is described as displaying a stunning combination of hand and foot speed as well as the ability to throw dizzying combos, Norris' athletic ability was an uncanny attribute in the ring.

That was sad to watch. At this point in his career, Terry Norris had no business anywhere near a boxing ring. CTE utterly destroyed his coordination and reflexes, so he was defenseless in this fight.
Nicolas riffart...On était de la même promotion au Brevet d'Etat...Il y avait aussi Christophe Girard, Jean-Pierre Calvez, José N'gufulu, Giovanni Boggia...
After the Mullings bashing, Norris should never have been cleared to fight again. The kind of bombs he was taking here was just a sad thing to see. Could not even put his hands up to defend himself. Good corner stoppage.
@@cedricliggins7528 No he wasn’t, Terry accomplished way more than Boudouani in his prime and also beat much better competition. Boudouani lost to David Reid.
What's so striking here is that Norris doesn't resemble at all the fighter he once was...I don't mean in terms of hand and foot speed...I mean he has been reduced to a style that's unrecognizable. Terri was very distinctive in his ring movement and generalship. This version looks nothing like the fighter he was 5 years before. So sad.
@@multisport9541 Actually, the brain damage had already occurred. In an interview, Norris said that he started 'feeling funny' after his first fight with Simon Brown in 1993. Plus, if you watch his interview with Dr. Ferdie Pacheco after defeating Nick Rupa in 1996 (available on RUclips), then you'll hear Norris slurring his words then. I think he fell off the cliff cognitively during the Keith Mullings fight in 1997. Norris started out well in the fight, but during the 2nd round, he took a right hand from Mullings and started blinking his eyes repeatedly for the rest of the fight. Even the commentators noted how oddly Norris was blinking his eyes. I think his eye blinking was an indication that his brain damage had progressed to an alarming degree. In my opinion, Norris should have retired after the loss to Mullings.
Is it me or does Terry Norris just look off in this fight oh yeah I know he's losing but I mean even before that his footing is all off off balance his stance is awkward looking just a weird fight to me
You are so wrong look at Boudouani's record, silver medalist at the Olympics an amateur record of 92 fights 90 wins 2 losses (1 in the final of the Olympics of course) 66 KO's ! He KO'd a prime Castillejo, Oscar DLH and Fernando Vargas couldn't do it ! He's the most skilful fighter France ever had but wasn't properly managed and trained in my opinion, with an US trainer, team and promoter he would've been one of the best fighters out of Europe (which I actually consider him to be ). Look at Boudouani's KO ratio and take in consideration that Norris's chin wasn't the greatest, Boudouani could've cracked him in his prime too..
You really deserve to be a champion go on your very smart congrats.
Respect Laurent pour ton frère parti au ciel

TERRI NORRI grande campione del mondo .Grandissimo

@Big Stacks, I agree💯
Facts
He probably needed the money
@@cedricliggins7528 Sadly, that was probably true.

Norris was a talented fighter who burned out quickly. He was completely gone here.
Burned out fast? He first won a title fight in 1990 and last won one in 1997. 7 years is not fast.
@@fritziezivic9960 16 successful title defences too. Terry accomplished a lot during his career.
Norris incredibly shot and an absolute danger to himself here
Laurent was a good fighter but Terry would’ve obliterated him in his prime.
No way. Boudouani was one of the best
@@cedricliggins7528 No he wasn’t, Terry accomplished way more than Boudouani in his prime and also beat much better competition. Boudouani lost to David Reid.
No shame on Terry,he was totally shot at this stage of his career,it would have been no match in his peak
Salut mon ami je t'aime

@MrCrrystalcranium Norris was the most dirty fighter ever to put on boxing gloves.He richly deserved this loss.
@@brianmorecombe2726 no he don't
@@crazykocounters4741 Good win for Boudouani.Deserved winner.
I noticed..like someone else in the ring.
Then I go watch Laurent fight David Reid 😂
LE ZIDANE DE LA BOXE.
He was better,but,he was already feeling the sick,weak from that desease he suffering today
Who the hell gave Norris a licence to box ?
He couldn't even speak in the time of his last few fights.
Shame on his 'team' too 👎
Absolutely, shame on his team!
Shame on The Team? Are you FUCKING NUTS? It's ALL about the money. Learn before you speak, son.
Yeh Norris in his prime would have toyed with him. Sad to look at
El francés un maestro boxeador el terrible Norris ya en declive no a sido el mejor boxeador francés el príncipe boudatni
Mémorable ^^
The fight was stopped prematurely. Period.
Much better for Norris because after this fight he suffered brain damage.

I see it too, he use to fight out of my hometown of San Diego, Ca.
Terry de leon a Gatito
This was the kind of guy in his prime of Norris career wouldn't have lasted 5 rounds . Sad to watch

@@frenchgoldenboyfan he was trash, Prime Norris wipes him out
Boudouani was good but never great. In fact l thought he would've achieved more as a pro.
You forgot that boudouani was a terrible boxer.
Very overrated even in his prime stuck around d way too long
