Here is a good article on Wes Shivers from the Jackson Free Press:
The fighter lies on the floor in a locker room at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. He lets it all go as country music streams from his headphones to help him relax. Nearby is the plastic cross his daughter made him, with glued white letters spelling out the word "faith." He keeps it with him for good luck.
It's time. His coaches come to help him warm up, stretch and wrap his hands—a smell of sweaty gym bags and musty training equipment is in the air. He's ready for this. He has a game plan. He has studied his opponent and, after months of pushing himself, the day has arrived.

Due to injuries sustained during football, however, Shivers' shoulder became progressively worse. In 2006, he had a total shoulder replacement
you'd think they would have played that up more on the show

Yes, he did get jacked by Mongo.. It was a classic one punch KO (I promoted that fight)...
