I saw a documentary about boxing, his career is discussed...... he once fought Mark Breland and lost via ko in 1......Cowboy Don Shriver passed on in 1986 according to boxrec.com. Does anyone remember him and does anyone know how he died? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDX0VrYG8bE&t=652s

Think he died in a car accident

Thank you for posting this!

Nice to see the Ron Lyle segment too.

I didn't know his wife had left him right before the Quarry fight.

Shiver was a gutsy club fighter who was promoted by Alessi in Tampa. He was a winning club fighter who often wore a cowboy stetson hat. but he lacked the speed and power to go beyond the club fight level. he died in a vehicular accident

His daughter had a pretty nice run in the pro ranks. I went to one of her fights in 2010 it was quite exciting
