time. I hope nothing happens this time to derail the program as I am looking
forward to it. |

much time elapsed between Lou Saverese's TKO of Tim Witherspoon in the fifth
round,and this {fistfull of dollars }thing Witherspoon fought in? |
|12/7/02 04:14:34 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|Everyone is entitled to their views I
guess. I don't agree with the Foreman was runner up tag. Anyone can pull out
certain scenarios and use it against a fighter. I could say the same thing
about Frazier being runner-up. When a fighter has passed all you can do is look
at their achievements.Unfortunately Jerry never achieved a major title and I
feel real bad for him-shame he was'nt around 8 or 9 years earlier. He was one of
the great nearly men. George Foreman was one of the greats....full stop.|

between Witherspoon-Savarese and Witherspoon-Thunderbox was probably just about
the minimum (30 days). I'm wondering if the Thunderbox was listed as an
"exhibition" in the same manner as "Foreman Fights Five" in the 70's. I doubt
that a boxing commission would allow someone to fight 3 times in the same night
in pro fights.|

or not, the Savarese-Witherspoon fight was September 23, 2002. Seems more like 3
weeks ago.|

Jerry in three. Too much force too much power - thunderous punches downstairs
and a powerful left would have been too much for Jerry.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|EFREN': Just wished the danged bout would
have happend,JQ had no business taking on Frazier, The public would have
eventually demanded that JERRY GET HIS SHOT!, off his winning title-eliminations
over lyle,Shavers etc.I could see Foreman powering his way, Although have you
ever seen Quarry get knocked out??Punchers were his roast, too tough to
call,like i said FOREMANS 12-5 FAOVITE, kent, i used to box at the DOME in
BAKERS,ONLY IT WAS THEY STRELICH STADIUM, NAMED AFTER STEVE STRELICH, THAN IT
WENT TO STRONGBOW, AND WAS PREDOMINETLY USED FOR wrestling, NOW ITS THE dome, it
looked like a DOME!!|
|12/7/02 05:37:34 PM|Jeffery Smith|New Orleans||jls@runbox.com||||6|Did any of
you see Quarry's last fight? I could swear that in his last fight, he fought an
African American slugger type who knocked him down (I only recall seeing about 5
seconds of a video clip). I know he didn't get knocked out, but was wondering if
I dreamed the video.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|JERRY QUARRY: Was only decked 6 times in
his career 2 his first bout with Al "Memphis" Jones, in which he sustaines a
broken jaw and lost 4 teeth, only to ko Jones for the 10 count the next round, a
7th round slip in his first bout vs PATTERSON-RULED A KNOCK DOWN. The Chuvalo
debackle, JOE ALEXANDER sounds like whom your talking about Jeffrey, in 1974,
Quarry also ko'd jOE THE NEXT ROUND. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, A 4-COUNT FROM A
VICSIOUS BODY SHOT c/o Joe Frazier.|
|12/7/02 09:53:47 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca ||oriononside@aol.com||||10|Jerry's last
bout was agaisnt a fighter named Ron Cramner, I don't know Cramner's race.
Reports I have heard say that although Jerry had some teeth knocked out, and he
did take a lot of punishment in the bout, he also gave a lot of punishment in
return, fighting like the true warrior he always was. As I understand it, Jerry
lost due to three one point deductions for low blows and that he got the better
of the action. Of course, they never should have let Jerry in the ring at the
age of 47 after all of the tough fights he had in his life.|
