Wednesday ~ February 3, 1971

vs.
Johnny Mac ~ 5-6-0 {1 KO} ~ 189 lbs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interesting, as this is Earnie's '1st' scheduled 10-Rounder.

Earnie {Age; 25 years, 5 months} is a late-bloomer. Earnie is now being
billed from Cleveland, Ohio.

Johnny Mac {aka; MacArthur Swindell} is a 6' 0" tall - light-hitting Heavyweight
from Chicago, Illinois.

Johnny {Age; 23 years, 1 month} is no stranger to Earnie. He fought Shavers
3-Months earlier, back on November 8, 1970 in Youngstown, Ohio.

In that bout, Johnny gave Earnie fits, before being stopped by a TKO in 4.

Johnny Mac is being billed with a record of > 8-3-0 with {3 KO's}, and is listed
as a 'crafty' Heavyweight from 'The Windy City'.
