Bumped into the cat Carl Thompson whilst we were both running near 4 lane ends in Bolton one early morning.

Difference was he was training for a championship fight, whilst i was fleeing a pub landlord due to a discrepancy in my available funds vs the bar bill for the evening.



ahhhh, the 1990's


happy times

Yes, well parking up outside a boxer's house, then jumping out when you see them and acting surprised, doesn't really qualify as "random" Eric. :D

He misunderstood theconcept somewhat and turned up having had extra tanning sessions.

Not quite random although random in the sense that I didn't go there purposely to meet him but I have met Earnie Shavers quite a few times when he is on the door at Yates's in Liverpool city centre and he is a lovely chap, happy to talk about his career and really polite and respectful to everybody. One of thr first times I met him I said "I can't believe Holmes gets up from that shot in the 2nd fight" and Earnie replied "Maaaan, neither can I!!".
When I worked collecting debts I spoke to guy in London who had a foreign accent, at the end of the conversation I asked him his name and he said "Panos Eliades". It was only as I put the phone down that I twigged who it was, iirc Eliades made his money as an administrator and/or liquidator.

Earnie says that Holmes was 'out' as he goes down but hits his head so hard on the canvas that it wakes him up. Larry's legendary powers of recuperation did the rest, and by the end of the round he is back in control.
Holmes phones Shavers in England every week.

Larry probably reverses the charges though.

I agree I've never seen anyone hit so hard and get off the canvas as Holmes v Shavers.
Was it Mills Lane who made the right call and let him carry on, after he got up and fell into the ropes ?
With another referee Ernie would have been champion.

I seem to recall it was Davey Pearl who made the call, Warrior, although he and Lane are very similar. Shavers told me about his friendship with Holmes when he came to the Midlands in 2003. I was chatting to him as they showed him brutalizing Kenny Norton on the ropes on a big screen at BarSports in Cannock. Norton could never fight going backwards.
