Float like a butterfly…Sting like a bee!! We are delighted to offer this original framed engraved artwork depicting scenes from the September 1977 fight between Muhammad Ali and Ernie Shavers. This etching is #3 of only 15 issued. The condition is very good. Framed, it measures approximately 19” high x 15.35” diameter. The image alone measures approximately 11” high x 8” diameter. The paper backing the frame is torn and will need to be replaced.
Muhammad Ali and Earnie Shavers fought each other in a fifteen-round boxing match on September 29, 1977. The fight went the full distance with Ali emerging the winner through a unanimous decision. Ali was badly hurt in the second round, but by pretending to be even more hurt than he was, he deceived Shavers into thinking he was play-acting resulting in Shavers not going for a knockout. By finishing each round strongly, Ali won favor with the judges. Shavers put up a strong performance in the 13th and 14th rounds, but Ali finished the 15th round very strongly, nearly knocking Shavers down with a flurry of punches towards the end of the fight. Some experts regard Ali's performance in the Shavers fight to be one of the finest in his boxing career. People talk about Manila; they talk about Foreman; they talk about Liston. But for some, the fifteenth round against Ernie Shavers was as magnificent as any round Ali ever fought. We appreciate your careful review of the photos as they tell so much more than we can articulate; and ask that you zoom in for a closer look at any and all condition issues.
