earnie shavers: the hardest heavyweight puncher ever?

[Bill Paxtom]

"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.
