I knew Earnie Shavers from the gyms in the Akron Canton area and had an opportunity to spar with him once. He was just fooling around arm punching with an open glove but when he hit you you got that sinking feeling. Earnie was a great guy everyone liked him who knew him. RIP

That was the most telegraphed punch in boxing history - but also one of the best.

Shavers power is in a different class. The killer puncher category. He had fatal/permanent injury inflicting puching power and it's fortunate nobody died in the ring getting hit like that.

They both went for the same punch but Shavers hit hard and on time.

Correct!

Ellis was already wobbly from the Shavers right cross near the ropes, but his instinct was to try to keep attacking rather than fall back and protect himself...that didn't work out too well.

2:10 When Earnie Shavers Almost Lost To Jimmy Ellis

Yes, Ellis was really pasting him but when Shavers didn't go down it wasn't good for Ellis. That was some upper cut! There was a lot of action for such a short time.

@garrison 6863 look at it again, and you will see where Shavers' left hand is positioned when the punch was delivered.

Ellis ended up spending his last years in a care home suffering from Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Punches like that one from Shavers must have contributed to him ending up like that. Every boxer who steps through the ropes knows that is the possible risk they are taking with their health. I guess they justify it to themselves by saying "That is the type of thing that happens to other guys but not me."

Ellis stood there in that semi-clinch with his hands spread wide as if to say “go ahead and take my head off, Earnie.” So Earnie did.

Duel of the collar ties+Ellis small upper cut v Shavers brain crushing sledge hammer upper cut. He chose poorly.
