Shields with a big shot that wobbled him.

then followed up with a barrage, landing several big shots
to the head of Shields.
A big right uppercut snapped Shields'
head back and referee Ronnie Ralston stopped the contest at 1:45

and shoved referee Ronnie Ralston upon learning that he
lost.

hitting Garvey on the back of the head.

into a free-for-all as officials entered the ring to break
up the melee. Shields' trainer Bobby Benton tried
unsuccessfully to restrain him.
