[Max Power]

Tuesday ~ July 13, 1971

Sahara Tahoe Hotel ~ Stateline, Nevada

Earnie Shavers ~ 27-2-0 {27 KO's} ~ 201 lbs.
vs.
Bill 'Fred' McMurray ~ 26-24-3 {10 KO's} ~ 210 lbs.

Earnie to take on Bill McMurray, a 6' 4" journeyman from Sacramento, California.

McMurray, is a {35 year-old} full-time Truck Driver, but is an always ready opponent.

Bill is coming off an impressive performance, where he held prospect 'Irish' Pat Duncan
to a 10-Round Draw on April 16, 1971.

Well I am astounded!

I have got to go and lay down!

The masterful Earnie Shavers rises above adversity yet AGAIN!

This time by beating a 210lb fighter (Modern CW on fight night or the smallest HW you can get at weigh in), Earnie takes on ALL the juggernauts! LOL

With a massive 10 KO's in 53 fights, 18%, WHAT A SLUGGER! Talk about Earnie entering the danger zone here!

and 26-24 record!! This guy has even WON a couple more fights than he lost! Raise the bar Earnie! Championship material this guy, punching your way straight to the top!

Unbelievable!
