"Warren, Ohio, heavyweight Earnie Shavers Saturday went on to pound out a unanimous 10 round decision over former light heavyweight champ Vicente Rondon before some 1,200 fans at Memorial Auditorium here. Rondon caught a flurry of rights and lefts right from the bell and Shavers didn't let up on him for the rest of the fight. Rondon couldn't get anything started and by the 3rd round was bleeding from the nose and mouth and by the 5th round had a swelling around his right eye." -Medina County Gazette

- This was Shavers' first fight in 3 months while recovering from a broken hand.

- "I think that this kid is the next one. He's not as good as Foreman but he is the next one in line to him. I'd like to see Shavers fight Floyd Patterson." -Chickie Ferrara, Shavers' trainer
