    Default Earnie Shavers vs. Johnny Mac ~ 'February 3, 1971'

    Wednesday ~ February 3, 1971

    Silver Slipper ~ Las Vegas, Nevada

    Earnie Shavers ~ 19-2-0 {19 KO's} ~ 204 lbs.
    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'.

    "Shavers Smashes Mac In One"

    Earnie Shavers {204 lbs.} wasted little time in depositing Johnny Mac {189 lbs.}
    on the canvas.

    Shavers landed a tremendous right-hand to Mac's jaw that dropped the Chicago
    Heavyweight to the canvas only 30-Seconds into the bout.

    Mac was up at '7', but looked like he was wandering in the dark. The bout was
    allowed to continue, and Shavers hammered his under-sized opponent with
    a series of 'Jack-Hammer type' blows to the head.

    Mac did all he could to hold on, but he was pummeled with heavy-blows as
    he staggered around at Center-Ring.

    Shavers finished off his over-matched opponent, when he slammed in a hard
    right-hook to the head, and then a follow-up left-hook to Mac's right ear,
    sending Johnny crashing to the canvas.

    Referee - Davey Pearl counted out Johnny at {1:22} of Round 1.

    Earnie Shavers looks like the 'new' Sonny Liston, as he has awesome punching
    power.
