    Rematch

    {7-Weeks later}

    Tuesday ~ October 31, 1972

    Civic Auditorium ~ Bakersfield, California

    Howard Smith ~ 5-1-0 {4 KO's} ~ 203 lbs.
    vs.
    Mike Weaver ~ 0-1-0 {0 KO's} ~ 195 lbs.

    This bout was scheduled for 5-Rounds.

    Howard Smith was supposed to face another Heavyweight, but he pulled out.

    Mike Weaver was willing to jump back in the Ring with Howard, and filled-in
    on 4-Days notice.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "The Bout"

    This time, the fighters fought at a slower-pace, and opened up by mixing in
    left-jabs and pawing counters.

    Thru 3-Rounds, the bout was 'all square', as neither fighter was able to take
    advantage.

    In Round 4, the best action occurred, as Howard was able to 'shake' Mike with
    several accurate right-hand leads to the chin over the first-half of the session.

    But Mike did put up a fight, and rallied later in the Round when he landed his own
    solid left-hooks to rattle Howard.

    In Round 5, Howard was a little busier over Mike who started to tire. Over the
    last minute, it was Howard who was the effective puncher, as Mike did little
    while leaning on the Ropes.

    Scorecards
    * Referee - Eddie Fierro ....... 3-1 {Howard Smith}
    * Judge .............................. 3-2 {Howard Smith}
    * Judge .............................. 2-1 {Howard Smith}

    And, Howard Smith flattened {KO 2} Mike Weaver in the Amateurs, in an
    All-Service Military {1969} bout between the Army and the Marines.

    Mike won '1-Bout' also, by a {Dec 3}.

    Thursday ~ November 16, 1972

    Olympic Auditorium ~ Los Angeles, California

    Howard 'Kayo' Smith ~ 5-1-0 {4 KO's} ~ 203 lbs. ~ 6' 1/2"
    vs.
    Dan 'Ronnell' Johnson ~ 10-1-0 {10 KO's} ~ 202 lbs. ~ 6' 1"

    This was a 10-Round 'Co-Main Event'

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dan 'Ronnell' Johnson was labeled a 'sleeper'. Because he had no 'fan fare',
    but he could whack hard.

    23 year-old - Dan Johnson {Deland, Florida} was coming off a bout which was up
    for 'Fight of the Year' in California.

    5-Months earlier {June 15, 1972}, Dan took on 'highly-touted' and unbeaten Argentinian
    - Pedro Lovell at the Olympic Auditorium.

    In that bout, Dan floored Pedro 'twice' in the 1st-Round and nearly scored a 'shocking'
    Knockout.

    It was a wild bout that was telecast on KCOP-TV.

    But Pedro came back, and 'broke' Dan's jaw in the 3rd-Round, and the bout was
    quickly stopped by a TKO 3.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "The Bout"

    Howard fought a smart and tactical fight over the big-swinging Floridian.

    Round-after-Round, Howard sent out snappy left-jabs into the face of Johnson, who
    was attempting to get in close, to sling in his wide-hooks.

    By Round 8, Johnson was arm-weary and near exhausted, as well as receiving a
    boxing-lesson from Howard.

    In Round 10 {Final Round} > Howard opened up on a 'weary' Johnson, and battered
    him into the Ropes. There, Howard unleashed a barrage, and dropped Johnson with a
    a '7-Punch' combination to the head.

    Referee - Rudy Jordan counted out Dan Johnson at 1:13 of Round 10.

    Saturday ~ May 5, 1973

    Phoenix Union's Montgomery Stadium ~ Phoenix, Arizona

    Attendance....... { 1890 }

    Main Event ....... Jimmy Ellis vs. Rico Brooks

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Semi-Main Event

    Howard 'Kayo' Smith - 6-1-0 {5 KO's} ~ 204 lbs.
    vs.
    Allen 'Evil' Evans ~ 13-6-0 {9 KO's} ~ 199 lbs.

    Howard Smith has been 'idle' for 5 1/2 months. But in late-April 1973, he
    gets a call to be a sparring-partner for former WBA Heavyweight Champion
    - Jimmy Ellis who is training for an upcoming bout in Phoenix.

    Howard takes the sparring-partner job, and also gets put on the Fight Card as
    a 'Semi-Main Event' 8-Rounder.

    Allen Evans, a 27 year-old Milwaukee Heavyweight who has several monikers >
    of 'Evil', 'Big Al' and 'The Black Destroyer' is his opponent.

    Evans was no easy fighter to handle. In his last bout {March 26, 1973}, he gave
    World-Rated {#17} - 'Irish' Pat Duncan fits for 10-Rounds, only to lose a Split-Decision
    in Duncan's backyard in Eugene, Oregon.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "The Bout"

    Rounds 1 and 2 were 'non-action' sessions, as both fighters pawed and
    lightly jabbed.

    But in Round 3, Howard came out jabbing faster, and scored fairly easy on
    the now even 'less-active' Milwaukee Heavyweight.

    By Round 4, Allen Evans realized that he didn't have the skills to box with
    Howard, so he turned the bout into a 'comical show', and went to the Ropes
    and let Howard hit him.

    During the Round, every time that Howard landed a punch, Allen would turn
    to the crowd and 'blow kisses' and 'wink' to the females at Ringside.

    Then, starting in Round 5, each time that Allen got hit, he would yell to
    Howard > "Come on big fellow".

    This pattern stayed the course in Rounds 5 and 6.

    By Round 7, Howard was pitching a near shut-out, as Allen Evans offered
    up little other than a 'shove' or looping right-hand over Howard's left shoulder.

    Round 8, was a more of the same.

    Howard Smith was awarded the 'one-sided' Unanimous 8-Round Decision.

    Scorecards ......... 80-73 / 80-74 / 80-74
