Ken on the same card for Lars first defense against Evangelista. They both won by KO taking lesser $$$ than the immediate rematch, so now the stage was set for the rematch save King wanted Norton out of the picture because he was too popular and not subservient like Lar was.
Thus match him against Shavers that we all knew by then was a death sentence for Ken. On the same card Lar took care of baby 11-0 Ocasio, and to insult a hungry pack of legit contenders, he took journeyman 19-8 Weaver for his 3rd def who had Lar in bukos trouble.
I bet you suckers actually watched the Ali fight as well. I guess Lar was forced by the suits to take that fight, so the net take of this is boxing is utterly shameless in their overall history, or criminally worse in the King era, so it's always the fighters of every era that continues to drag boxing along in its failing business model.
