earnie shavers: the hardest heavyweight puncher ever?

[Bill Paxtom]

'Round 3'

Both fighters meet at Center-Ring.

'Irish Pat' decides to test Earnie's chin, and starts off by wailing away
with a fast flurry.

The punches bounce off of Earnie's head, but he is not bothered by the
blows.

'Irish Pat' slams another hard flurry into Earnie, and then backs out fast.

Earnie trudges forward, and is starting to put aggressive pressure on Pat
who is backing away slowly.

At the {1:40 Mark}, Earnie slams in a hard left-hook, and digs a hard right
into Pat's side. Pat gasps, and circles to his left.

Earnie 'zings' Pat with a looping right-hand. Pat is shaken, and grabs onto
Earnie's arms, and holds on until the Referee breaks them apart at the
{2:05 Mark}.

Earnie starts working {one-two's} into Pat at the {2:30 Mark}.

Earnie traps Pat along the Ropes, and starts slamming him with hard blows
to the upper-body and face.

At the bell, Pat looks weary and his face is red.
