They said that Earnie had no stamina, no heart or chin.

Well, he was arm-weary and gassed out at the end of Round 9. I hit that 'bastard'
with everything that I had.

I'm 6' 5" and 230 lbs., and when I hit somebody 'flush', they fall. Ask anybody in
Philadelphia, or up at Ali's Camp in Deer Lake.

Look at Round 9. I nailed Earnie with '8' monster left-hooks to the head, and several
right-hands flush in his face. He was F***ing out man.

Yet, just before the Bell, he came back with a 'right-left' and spun my head at the
Bell with another long right-hand.

I had him pinned in the front-left Corner, and his legs were all 'Jello'. Yet still, he
had the 'balls' to fight back, and put power in those last '3' punches.

He was 'Amazing Earnie'.

In my corner at the end of Round 9, Joe Louis told me to set Earnie up, and to back
him up.

Earnie could not fight backing up, as he needed space to 'wind-up'.

Earnie was 'done' at the end of Round 9, and I figured that I would only have to land
a few punches on him, and that he would either fall from exhaustion, or that the Referee
Buddy Baslico would stop it.
