Muhammad Ali vs. Earnie Shavers ~ "Round 2 > All Earnie"

Muhammad Ali vs. Earnie Shavers

"Round 2"

After the Champion played around and did his 'circus act', Earnie said > "Enough of this Shit"

At the {1:41 Mark}, Earnie first tested Muhammad's chin with a jolting right-hand, sending
the Champion scurrying backwards into the front-left Corner.

Muhammad 'grabbed-and-held' to buy time, before circling around the Ring flinging out harmless
'Butterfly Power' left jabs.

As Earnie pressed, he was waiting for the opening.

At the {2:00 Mark} it came, as Earnie countered Muhammad's soft-and-lazy left-jabs with a
'picture-perfect' right-hand on the chin.

Muhammad was immediately staggered as his eyes-rolled in the back of his head, as he had to
grab the top Rope strand on the back Ropes to prevent from going down.

Amazing eh. 3 stories high and made with 1500 punching bags.

As Earnie pressed, he was waiting for the opening.

At the {2:00 Mark} it came, as Earnie countered Muhammad's soft-and-lazy left-jabs with a
'picture-perfect' right-hand on the chin.

Muhammad was immediately staggered as his eyes-rolled in the back of his head, as he had to
grab the top Rope strand on the back Ropes to prevent from going down.

Instead of fighting back, Muhammad moved over to the right-side back Ropes, and cowered
in fear as Earnie stepped in.

Muhammad was 'hurt' and Earnie knew it.

At the {2:11 mark}, Earnie delivered a lightning-fast bombardment > 'left-right-right-right-left',
sending Muhammad out scampering off the Ropes.

Then, Earnie tagged Muhammad with another 'left-right', sending a staggering Muhammad to
the front-center Ropes.

At the {2:21 Mark}, Earnie launched a 'brain-jarring' right-hand into Muhammad's head.

Muhammad looks 'bewildered' and is in a fog.

At the {2:24 Mark}, Earnie slams Muhammad with a 'left-right', and sends him flopping into
the front Ropes. The 'smirk' that was on Muhammad's face earlier, has been wiped off his face.

Earnie slams in a straight 'left-right' to Muhammad's chin, and Muhammad is now driven into the
front-left Corner.

Earnie tags Muhammad with a grazing right-hand to the chin at the {2:29 Mark}, forcing Muhammad
to 'grab-and-hold', much like a Schoolgirl.

Muhammad now grabs Earnie, and is holding on for 'dear life' for the next '8-Seconds'.

At the {2:37 Mark} > Earnie sends in a short jarring right-uppercut into Muhammad's chin.

Muhammad staggers to the back-left corner, as he continues to try and hold onto Earnie.

Earnie lands a glancing right to the chin.

At the {2:50 Mark} > Earnie move in, and sends '2' thudding right-hands into Muhammad's left side while he hangs on.

Earnie tags Muhammad with a glancing right to the chin.

Muhammad continues to hold-and-grab.

{3:00} > The Bell sounds, saving Muhammad Ali from getting stopped.

Lucky For Muhammad Ali

This bout was held in New York, so it was by the Round system.

On the 10-Point system, Earnie wins Round 2 by a ......... 10-8 score.

Bill, I was going to comment on this thread but you seem to be doing fine. Can't get enough Shavers around here. Thanks for being you.

Thanks, Mr. Walrus

You just can't get enough of Earnie.

Next up, Earnie's career fight purses.

I honestly look forward to *ALL* of Bill's posts. His recent Kayo Smith posts were exciting, punch by punch drama, informative, nostalgic and intriguing.

Earnie Shavers vs. Jerry Quarry ~ "Round 1 > All Jerry"


It's OK though Bill, by round 2 Quarry was fast asleep
(by that I mean he was already at home in bed, after walking through everything Shavers threw)

I love the detail Commander Bill.

I get an 'erection' everytime I read these details. Excellent stuff.

Thanks Adam

Go Great Britain.

[AdamGB]

Erections? They usually last over 3 minutes... Much longer than your man Earnie did...

In all honesty though, if you fantasise about men you don't know getting erections, you should seek help.

I think this thread is a bit of an exaggeration. Shaver caught him good and he was hurt but after only a few seconds while his legs were still weak he didn't seem in much danger.

I thought he was in worse shape in round 14.

I was at Madison Square Garden that night.

You could hear the 'thud' from Earnie's right-hand, it echoed.

I'm sure Muhammad's brain was 'dislodged' from those right-hands in Round 2.

The first one was huge no doubt. But Muhammed has great recuperative powers. He wasn't steady. My point is simply it doesn't appear to me he was ready to go without a combination landing after. As I recall in 14 he looked like one more good shot could end it.

[Max Power]

I had that whole fight for Earnie except for the last minute of the last round in which Earnie, thinking he had won clearly, just covered up and ran down the clock.

What he didn't know was that Muhammad Ali always started his fights with 5 rounds in the bank before the opening bell.

Why do you 'always' put apostrophes around 'random' words?
