Muhammad Ali vs. Earnie Shavers ~ "Round 2 > All Earnie"

[Bill Paxtom]

I think this thread is a bit of an exaggeration. Shaver caught him good and he was hurt but after only a few seconds while his legs were still weak he didn't seem in much danger.

I thought he was in worse shape in round 14.

I was at Madison Square Garden that night.

You could hear the 'thud' from Earnie's right-hand, it echoed.

I'm sure Muhammad's brain was 'dislodged' from those right-hands in Round 2.
