Earnie Shavers vs Muhammad Ali 1080P

Thanks for posting. Earnie is a good guy.

 

I’ve never subscribed to a YouTube channel. I think I created a user account once a long time ago but I really don’t see the point. I search for what I want to watch and watch it.

What’s the reason to subscribe to a channel?

Shavers won this fight

 

Even Earnie doesn't think he won and as with every factual claim I make on this board I will supply a citation (link). I would add that fight was shown live and the winner of every round as determined by the judges were announced in real time.

 

Good. I will watch it again and post my scorecards too.

 

"Anyone who fought Ali and did well, they were basically made. I think I did quite well; I went 15 rounds with him. He won the fight but I kept my name clean..."

• NBC arranged to flash the official scoring on the screen after every round. Such an obvious edge was not lost on Angelo Dundee, Ali's trainer, who posted Baltimore matchmaker Eddie Hrica in the champion's dressing quarters to watch the TV set there and relay the numbers after each round. And so, after 12 rounds, Dundee knew the only way Shavers could beat his man was by a knockout.

I can see how that would be beneficial to some people but I don’t hang out on YouTube ever. I just go there when searching for something I want at that moment — a fight, a song, whatever. I really don’t want suggestions.

A clear round for Shavers. He landed a few nice clean shots (6:37, 7:57, 8:25-8:30, replay at 9:30-9:40)

Neither did much. Ali danced uselessly at the beginning of the round and attempted some jabs. Towards the end, he threw some punches, but they hit Shavers's guard. As for Shavers, he mostly landed body taps, but a few of his jabs din land clean on Ali's face, so he has a slight edge.

Both attempted a few jabs at the beggining of the round, neither had much success. Most of the time, Shavers was just following Ali around the ring, and they mostly clinched when they got close. Ali hit Shavers's guard a few times, and Shavers went for Ali's body. Towards the end of the round Shavers landed a nice left jab and a good overhand right, both punches landing clean on Ali (16:16, 16:28, replay at 17:28). He attempted another right, but Ali leaned back. Nonetheless, Shavers gets the nod.

Ali started dancing and firing jabs, but they were mostly taps that didn't do any damage whatsoever. He mixed in the occasional right hand and towards the end of the round he let his hands go a bit, but they were just tappy taps. Shavers tried to counter and hit a few rights to Ali's body. Overall a boring round with nothing major landed on either part. Ali gets the nod cause he was more active.

Another boring round. Ali tried to rest, either by laying on the ropes or by leaning on Shavers in the middle of the rin, while keeping his guard up. Shavers didn't bite the bait of the rope-a-dope, and the ref had to intervene a few times. Shavers landed a few body shots and overall was more active, so he gets the nod.

Earnie landed a nice right hand at the beginning of the round (26:25), followed by a few decent jabs. Ali tried to tire Shavers, but Shavers wasn't dumb. Ali let his hands go a bit, but it was Shavers who managed to land another 2 good shots (28:03, 28:20).
Shavers also edged this round.

Ali only had a few jabs at the beginning of the round and he let his hands go a bit in the second half of the round, but only in 1 or 2 shorts bursts, and he simply hit Shavers's guard.
Shavers threw a few jabs of his own, some body shots, and few good shots on Ali's face.
None of them did much damage, but Shavers looked a bit better and was the aggressor.

One of the worst round in boxing history, an absolute joke. Ali tried to shove his left into Shavers's face. Shavers grabbed Ali and tried to get him from laying on the ropes. The ref warned Shavers. What for, no one knows, the ref's an idiot.
Shavers mostly taps Ali's guard and body. Even a 10 year old could have withstood those poor excuses for punches.
Ali let his hands go a little, but mostly hit Shavers's guard.

Both opened up and let their hands go, but they mostly swing wild and miss. They manage to find their target a bit towards the middle of the round, but nothing major. Ali had a bit more success with his left, so he slightly edges it.

Ali tried to press the gas. He tried to dance and let his hands go. Overall, Ali threw more punches, but they din nothing, they just hit Shavers's guard.
Shavers tried to counter, but mostly swung at air, yet he managed to land a good straight right hand at 44:05, which gave a brief initiative, while he pushed Ali into a corner.
Neither really deserves the nod in this round, but you could somewhat make a case for Ali being more active.

Both managed to land clean a few times while they were near a corner of the ring and overall they engaged a more (47:20-47:35). Shavers lands another straight right at 48:11. They threw more punches towards the end also.
Overall an even round, neither dominated.

50:12 - clean right hands from Shavers. 51:35 and 51:50 were also good rights from Shavers.
52:13 - another great right hand from Shavers.
Clear win for Shavers this round.

Ali falls down, but I feel it's more of a slip than it was due to a Shavers punch.

Shavers gives it his all, and although he missed a lot, he also landed some nice ones (59:38, 59:46).

Overall an even round.

Dundee should have got his head examined. Shavers clearly won.

Such garbage stats. Who are the IMBECILES that came up with these:

Power Punches Ali Shavers
Landed 128 209
Thrown 373 563
Percent 34.3% 37.1%

How can people be so ****ing blind ?!??????

Shavers landed 10 power punches at best, while Ali landed 3 or 4, and that's if I'm being generous.
Or are the morons who made these stats so dumb not to know what a power punch is.

Anyway, after watching the fight again, I've come to another conclusion (apart from Shavers winning the match):
the fact that any HW with a decent chin could have taken the shots that Shavers hit Ali with in this fight. There wasn't a single shot that was as hard as the one he hit Holmes with. Not ****ing one.

 

Shavers was robbed. He won, imo.

 

If that's what you came up with, that's what you came up with. AP who had a reporter at ringside had it 10-5 Ali and UPI who had the same had it 8-6-1 Ali.
