Shavers was in good shape for the first Holmes fight but Holmes boxed brilliantly. The rematch was actually tougher for Holmes even though Shavers' conditioning was worse.

He said it after the fight.

I scored the fight for Holmes but I never saw the comment. But I did read about it

Holmes received heavy criticism for his pre-fight comments, which he stated "Rocky Marciano couldn't have carried my jockstrap." Holmes later apologized.
