No one can remember when the whispers first began, questioning the size of Holmes' courage. As a matter of fact, when pressed, no critic could say why the question was asked. Mostly it was: Who has Holmes ever fought? Let him fight someone tough, then we'll see if he has a ticker.
Finally, last February, Don King, the promoter, asked, "Do you think Earnie Shavers is tough enough?"
"Beautiful," said Larry Holmes.
The match was made, a 12-rounder at Caesars Palace, nationally telecast over ABC. It was billed as an elimination bout for heavyweight title contenders-Shavers No. 3 and Holmes No. 4-with the winner meeting Kenny Norton, the newly ordained WBC champion.
With so much at stake, Richie Giachetti, Holmes' manager and trainer, temporarily had imported Ray Arcel and Freddy Brown, the 148-year-old training team, from New York.
By fight time Holmes was so eager to get into action that he was trembling. He came out eagerly, but under full control. His jab flickered like a snake-four, then three, then four. Obviously tight, Shavers stalked him, powerful fists at the ready, blinking at the rain of jabs.
Midway through the first round Giachetti yelled at Arcel, "How's he look?"
"He's beautiful," Arcel screamed. "He's just beautiful."
Moments into the second round, the seat of Holmes' red trunks split. "Oh my God," Giachetti said, and ordered someone to run and get another pair from the dressing room. Then he turned back to the action. Something more important than split pants was happening. Near the end of the round came the moment everyone had been waiting for. Lunging, Shavers smashed Holmes with a thunderous right to the head. Backed up a step, Holmes shook his head, then cracked Shavers in the face with a left and a right. From that moment, every time Shavers hit Holmes with anything heavy, he took a murderous barrage in return. End of question about the ticker.
By the fourth round Holmes was in a new pair of trunks, and by the sixth he appeared to be in command of a tiring Shavers. But early in the sixth Shavers backed Holmes into a corner and began working to the body with both hands.
Across the ring Giachetti and Arcel and Brown were shouting in unison, "Get out of there! Get out!" Above all else, they had warned Holmes about getting pinned in a corner. Holmes looked at his handlers with a slight smile and shook his head, no. He was giving his sparring partner his best shot, and it wasn't bothering him one bit. And from that point on it was Holmes doing what he wanted, Shavers trying desperately for the one big punch to end it. And at the end it was Holmes who almost found the big punch.
The fight was in the final seconds and Holmes, refusing to coast although he knew he was ahead by a ton of points, caught Shavers with a smashing overhand right to the jaw. Stunned, Shavers almost went down. He recovered just before his right knee touched the floor. With a snarl, Holmes was all over him, ripping him with a barrage of nine straight punches before the bell ended the fight.
The scoring was anticlimactic. Judges Harold Buck and Joe Swessel had given Holmes every round and scored it 120-108. Judge Dave Moretti awarded Shavers the 10th round, which cut Holmes' margin to 119-109.

Larry Holmes was underestimated, beautiful jab and a good defense.
Thank you very much
Not too flashy or spectacular, but Larry really had no weaknesses. Sharp jabs, good defensive skills, quick enough, decent knockout power, could put combinations together. Larry was the total package.
Prime Holmes, fast as hell
Very susceptible at right hands!!!
@@Shovelhook yep floored a few times by right hands, even KO'd by Tyson
Rest In Peace Mr Shavers!!
Shavers could have been champ easily, he just had to many demon outside the ring. Thanks for this video. Holmes best jab ever was a great champ.
No. He wasn’t good enough. I’m sorry you’re that ignorant. Don Turner said that shaver’s would have been destroyed by Marciano. Larry beat the shit out of him. And Larry didn’t even have one punch knock out power. Are you that dumb.
2 great fighters frlom the late 70
Excellent show!
the only shortcoming of him (Shavers) was his stamina, had he worked on that and improved it he could've been one of the all time best boxers. he could demolish even Foreman with one of those scary swings.
The fast double jab from Snipes that set up the big right from Snipes was superb. That is why Holmes didn't see the right coming when it did. A) because it was a fast double jab and B) more decisively, after being thrown in typical quick succession, the second jab was still much faster than a typical second jab being thrown within the double jab sequence.
Too bad for him that he couldn't replicate it and wasn't atypical of his usual style.
Luv this Holmes all the way
the classic era of HW boxing when everyone fought each other
Larry Holmes the greatest heavyweight boxer ever would off killed fury! Different class!👍🏴☠️
Larry is super star in this fight,he is much better than him,he used his head for to be the best,I really like mr.larry,he loves his famiy,he cares about them.
Shavers one of the hardest punchers
Watch the greatest underrated heavy weight, N the smiling assassin Arguella thanks Ronnie n Nancy's astrologer you killed the gentleman fighter, my dude. Arron Prior would charge you like a heart attack, watch that dude. Ward n Gatti, broken hand, n in the outher fight a broken eardrum, the 3rd, they hugged n said ,I don't want a rematch.
When Shavers hit anybody, and I mean ANY BODY!
They feel it !! Oh how they feel it!
Look at Alis face when they fought
Holmes look great
When boxing was sweet
Steve Harvey sure can punch
u talkin' Nonsense Sam...u gotta be great to beat a world champion..if u can't deliver on Championship Night...then u ain't Good Enough!!!
I don't know much about Suger Ray Robinson, But Ali n then Holmes, I think he got robbed with Spinks twice, The belt aways stays with the champ in a close fight, an they introduce Holmes 1st, not right, when Spinks was a lightheavy weight I was on his side, iam not crap but Spinks fought a little like a girl, plz don't tell him my neighbor, said that.
why was Cosell calling fights by himself, he was terrible, worse than lampley!
Ernie "Anvilhead" Shavers. WTF can you take???
So its Shavers style that Hagglar coppied. They identìcal.could Absorb punches like Bounty Towell Shavers Punches--Jail punches✌️😎✌️
Foreman avoided Shavers
Knowing that Muhammad Ali went 15 rounds with Ernie shavers and then you see this fight with Larry Holmes and Larry shavers do you think if Mohammed would have fought Larry when he was in his prime Mohammed would have won
Earnie is goin ta disloge his Right Sholder..he'ill throw a punch an his whole Arm will Go flyin outa the Areana..while Lary watches in Diss-belief Earnie knocks him out wit Left Hook...down he goes he not on his Toes😎🤗😆😆😆Tell ah Tale-Me
You dog, what do you do on your day off, ✌️ Ever hear of Danny Red Lopez, Or the explosive thin man, Arron beat the crap out of Leonard getting him ready for Marvelous n got fired. Suger Ray Leonard had heart, not sure who one that war, I think one did ? I would run from both, I won 3 gs on the rematch with Duran.
