Larry HOLMES v Earnie SHAVERS 2. SEPT 28th 1979.

The ref stopped the fight erroneously, Both fighters could've fought it out till the 15th round. Maybe he had to go crap.

Shavers wouldve kod Lennox Lewis same way Mcall and Rahman did with that killer right hand no question.

I loved Larry Holmes 2yrs before he fought Ali. That's the only time I didn't like him. It was my heart that broken. Larry Holmes is one the Greatest Champions of All time.

Came for the fight, stayed for Marvin 😂👌🏾

He iis a legend

Holmes thumbed Shavers . Really dirty thing to do.

Did yall hear the undercard....

Love the vintage commercials.

Ref keeps breaking fighters to early late in the fight. Their not tied up. Just leaning on each other .some in fighting. Nope. Ref breaks them. Helping holmes.

Howard Cosell did a poor job during this telecast.

howard shut up

Larry in Earnie’s corner instead of jumping in victory touched my heart

Larry staring a hole through arguably the hardest puncher ever in the stare down is iconic, the tougher and more feared you were the more he wanted to rip you apart.

If Larry had a left hook it would’ve been evil!

I never saw someone get up after taking a shot like that. That was just otherworldly.

Shavers fought a tough fight trying to connect with that loopy big right hand the entire fight. I miss the days when fights like this were on the networks. The commercials were also great. Thanks for posting this fight of these two warriors.

No one, i mean no one, could sing like Marvin Gaye. 🎶🎶🎶

Worth it to see Marvin Gaye singing Star Spangled Banner as much as the fight itself. Mesmerising.

It was a cracking fight one of the best Ive seen.

I gotta tell ya there ain’t nothing more satisfying than Holmes of all boxers to have taken the hardest punch from the hardest punching boxer ever RIGHT ON THE GRAPENUT!!! Loved it! No respect gettin Larry Holmes… Callin Mike a sob if he should happen to win and telling the press they can kiss his big black behind RIGHT IN THE PEANUT! 👊👊👊🥊🥊🥊🥊

Holmes was a tough tough fighter. #3 heavyweight all time imo.

Would be better without the channel name stamped across the top.

Luckily I found another version without the stamp of a narcissist.

Just disliked this one and watched the better version.

Holmes was a mean fighter in this bout.

Holmes looking very expert with that left jab. What a heart he has to survive that 7th round knock down. Both amazing heavyweights.

Not even trying I could name 50 heavyweight boxers from 80s n 90s that would be The champ today.💁🏾‍♂️

These fighters back in the day was built different. Shavers tired his self out by throwing to many hay makers in missing. It was definitely a great fight in the fighters didn't care about losing that 0. Later

Larry Holmes is arguably the most-undervalued Heavyweight Champion ever. I was in high school during his reign and I didn't appreciate it then, either.....but I do now. VASTLY-UNDERVALUED champion, a superb fighter.

both are trash and the ppl below me are trash ill knockout the first boxer ever im better than ali or foreman

The ads in between the fights are so nice, its like it adds to the match

Most fights that Howard Cosell called made me wonder if we were watching the same fight.

Larry 🐐 Holmes 🥂

holmes was sent home.. never rated him. he was trained by Ali and there was no one, not really worth fighting after Ali left the ring. That made holmes the top of the tree that was bare of real fruit. So to top it off was nothing but a looser , fighting other crap fighters. That made him the king of the dung heap..

這個一看就知道不是電腦動畫

Shavers was not larrys hardest punching opponent and he knows it. Hes trying to downgrade Tysons power.

Combate durisimo larry tuvo que sudar casi sangre para vencer a ernie

Came for the fight, stayed for the commercials!

How the fakk did Larry got up after that hit!!! That was bone crash punch.

Guten Alte Zeit!!!

Homles was a real Champion

Two of my favorite heavyweights of all-time along with Ali of course!

I think what cost Shavers in many of his losses was his stamina and endurance he always looks gassed towards the end

Thanks video. Loves from Turkey.

prime Holmes vs prime Tyson = dead Tyson.
