Roy 'Tiger' Williams ~ "I hit Earnie Shavers with 'Bombs', and he would not fall."

[Bill Paxtom]

'The Skinny'

Earnie was completely exhausted at the end of Round 8. Mostly because he threw
puhnces at a hugh-rate, and burned up his reserve energy.

Roy, who patiently waited, unloaded on a 'gassed out' Shavers at the end of the Round.

Earnie still won Round 8 on all '3' Scorecards.

Scorecards thru 8-Rounds;
* 44-38 > {7-1-0}
* 44-38 > {7-1-0}
* 44-39 > {6-1-1}

All Earnie had to do to win. Was box, move and stay away from Roy for the last 2-Rounds,
and Earnie would have won by a wide-points Decision.
