It was an 'Earn While You Learn' campaign. Lots of bouts for small money.

Promoter/Manager {Dean Chance} had shipped Earnie out to Los Angeles
in May 1971 to train with Jerry Quarry.

Then, Earnie would travel into Nevada to have his monthly 'small venue' bouts there.

Yes, I don't have any particular problem with this method of development.

Building up your record and experience through frequent and prolific bum beating has significant merit, just ask Deontay. If it works it works.

But we don't credit Wilder for all the cans he's whacked out do we!

Anyway it's nice to see Earnie step it up here against a respectable opponent, well done Earnie lol
