WBO Title Fight

Champion Joe Louis, USA, 18-1-0 (17) vs #5 Earnie Shavers, USA, 13-3-0 (13)

Shavers aggressively attacks the champ in the 1st round and outscores Louis with some vicious blows. Louis responds by winning the 2nd and 3rd, putting Shavers on the canvas in the 3rd. Louis takes the next three rounds as Shavers struggles to land clean punches. Shavers is a hard puncher that has finished all his fights early, but you cannot hurt what you cant hit. Louis has Shavers down twice in the 7th and finishes the fight by (KO7) to retain the WBO Title. Shavers lack of defense was evident tonight as he just ran into a much better fighter who was willing to trade power punches with him. Cards: 60-53, 60-53, 59-54. Punch stats: 42.7% - 28.4% Louis.
