at 0:35 seconds I thought the bout was over. Earnie couldn't go on any longer, even in the 9th round it could have been stopped.

AT <0:50> SECONDS WHEN Roy misses that uppercut, I got the feeling ~all~ his energy was sapped and started to drain out of him. Did Earnie sense this? Did this missed uppercut let Earnie realize that Roy had just pretty much run out of gas?
'Triple B'
Roy Williams had last fought back on April 30, 1976 > {L Dec 10 to Larry Holmes}.
Roy had not fought in 7 1/2 months, and he was also not accustomed to a 'fast-pace'.
Roy liked to fight 'steady and slow', with very few punch-bursts.
His legs looked very weakened here at the {1:00 Mark}.

Roy "Tiger' Williams
"Earnie is not human. No human being could take those 'bombs' I hit him with
at the end of Round 9 and at the beginning of Round 10."
"He is an amazing man."
