Another great is gone … Via The National Enquirer reports : Former heavyweight champ KEN NORTON who battled MUHAMMAD ALI for the championship 3 times has died at age 70. Norton, whowhumped Ali and then lost a controversial decision to him in Yankee Stadium, died today at a local care facility in Arizona and had been in poor health for several years after suffering a series of strokes. Norton broke Ali’s jaw in their first fight, beating him by split decision in 1973 in a non-title bout in San Diego. They waged a ferocious battle six months later with Ali narrowly winning a controversial split decision. They met for a third time on Sept. 28, 1976, at Yankee Stadium and Ali again narrowly won to keep his heavyweight title. Norton would come back the next year to win a heavyweight title eliminator and was declared champion by the World Boxing Council. But, he lost a bruising 15-round fight to Larry Holmes in what many regard as one of boxing’s epic heavyweight bouts on June 9, 1978 and never regained the championship belt. During the 1980s, Norton made a number of guest appearances on TV including the shows “The A-Team” and “Knight Rider.” Norton also appearted in over 20 movies and was set to play Apollo Creed in “Rocky” but was forced to bow out. Norton continued making TV, radio and public speaking appearances until suffering injuries in a near-fatal car accident in 1986. It left him with slow and slurred speech. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones… Peep a few videos from his fights: WENN/NYC Archives

The surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect says he and his brother discussed attacking NYC’s Times Square next, according to law enforcement officials. The surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , initially told investigators that they planned to go to New York to party after the Boston attack, the officials said. The New York police commissioner also gave a similar account. Under questioning, the officials said, Tsarnaev said that he and his deceased brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, discussed a follow-up attack on Times Square. The officials cautioned that the Tsarnaev’s idea was “undeveloped.” One senior official described the plan as speculative, and “aspirational at most.” Tsarnaev reportedly confessed to his role in the Boston blast, too. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly scheduled a press briefing later Thursday to further discuss this subject. Tsarnaev, wounded in a shootout with police (in which is brother died) before he was captured Friday night, is in fair condition at a Boston hospital. Three people were killed and more than 200 wounded when two bombs went off near the marathon finish line April 15, sparking a massive manhunt. A man who authorities say was carjacked by the Tsarnaevs before the shootout told police he heard one of the men say “Manhattan” before he escaped. Somewhere, Boston Marathon bombing conspiracy theorists are already discrediting this. In any case, the questioning happened before Tsarnaev was read his rights. The U.S. government had invoked an exception to the requirement that suspects be read what are known as their Miranda rights before questioning. The exception is applied in cases of public danger.
