Cleveland Williams vs Ron Lyle primes

Yeah, perhaps. Earnie could become quite overexcited and wild in his follow ups.

Shavers certainly laid enough leather on Lyle otherwise to make me think IF he was going to KO Ron, it would’ve/should’ve happened anyway.

People talk of Shavers god given raw power - but that left hook/uppercut was beautifully executed, right on the chin, it doesn’t get any better than that - and Earnie was almost going backward when he threw it.

Shavers punching technique is somewhat underrated imo.

Some might’ve assumed that Lyle wouldn’t have gotten back up from that - but arise he did.

Did they allow counting after the bell (excluding final bell) for that fight? I don’t know.

PS - it seems K’s “Cleveland Williams” Alert is still working fine.

 

If only his brain and sarcasm radar were working as well.

 

Yeah for sure IMO. Lyle was in terrible condition. He actually did well to recover even with the rest period. It was actually a left hook too from memory.
