here is film of Jimmy after losing to Joe Louis. He still looks like a world class fighter wouldn’t you say? This content is protected Let me know how good Bivins still was.
Choklab, I had watched this recently and scored it. Here was my thoughts on the fight: Jimmy Bivins v Charley (Doc) Williams Round 1: Bivins Round 2: Bivins Round 3: Bivins Round 4: Bivins Round 5: Even Round 6: Bivins Round 7: Williams Round 8: Bivins Round 9: Bivins Round 10: Even Total: 7-1-2 Bivins Actual scores were 6-4 (twice) for Bivins and 5-4-1 for Williams and I really have to take all those scores to task. I cannot make a case for Williams in this fight. In fact, I felt overly charitable scoring 2 even rounds. Williams didn't help his cause on my card by allowing the smaller, light-hitting Bivins to push him around all night. I really liked Bivins in this fight. It reminded me of the bout between the light-hitting Ralph Dupas and the hard banging Charley Scott because, like Dupas, Bivins fought right in the pocket and depended on his high volume of punches whilst ducking/dodging/bobbing/weaving right in front of his opponent. And remember, this was the 1951 version of Bivins who already had over 100 fights. I would have loved to seen him in his prime of '41 - '45
