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.
