January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

oxing shows on Thursday nights with Friday nights being for the bigger name
fights. I suppose they could have used Saturdays as well. They also had pro
wrestling regularly on Wednesday nights with some Friday nights for their
special events. I don't remember any boxing shows ever being on Monday nights.
Of course it has been many years and I may not be remembering correctly. |

TKO 10. Walcott over Smith by decision. I saw part of the Maskaev-Sanders
fight also. At the time of the KO, Maskaev was well ahead on points and was on
his way to a decision win over a badly out of shape Sanders, at least he looked
out of shape to me. I am one of those people who believe a good big man will
beat a good small man most of the time. A good boxer will beat a good puncher
most of the time. We had Marciano and Walcott in our bout this week. He was
being wiped out by Walcott in their title bout. He made one mistake and it was
over. And he was the smaller guy. I also believe Roy Jones can and will beat
Vassiliy Jirov. A smaller guy wins. Consider this. If say, Jack Dempsey had
been born in 1980 instead of 1895, he would be about 6'3" or 6'4" and weigh 220-
225. Jack was a good size athlete in his day. The same goes for Joe Louis.
So, I'm also one of those people who think we need more separation in the
heavyweight division. Cruserweight say 180-200, Heavyweight 201-225 and
Superheavy 225 and up. Call me crazy, but if you are 185 lbs and you have a guy
that weighs 235 or 240 and has two or three inches on you. You will have a very
hard time. |

eek out a close decision over a Prime Bonecrusher. I also see the Marciano fight
closer than you other gentleman. After falling behind and getting cut an
haymaking right stops Tubbs in the tenth round.Well that puts Marciano and
Walcott through. In the next round we have &0's hard man Ron Lyle against the
wily Eddie Machen. In the second match (and final one of the first round we have
a rematch of sorts as Riddick Bowe and Pinklon Thomas meet again. This time it
will be an early-mid eighties Thomas against an early nineties Bowe. Will be a
good fight.|

MUCH!!!!!!!!|

tough fight, I pick Lyle by split decision over Machen. Machen lands more
punches but Lyle knocks him down twice in the fight to get the narrow victory
with two 10 to 8 rounds. Thomas never threatens and Bowe wins a decision on all
three judges cards. Bowe easily wins 9 out of 12 rounds for the verdict.|
|3/29/02 02:46:22 PM|Angelo|DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Big Daddy Bowe by a
close but unanimous decsion over Pinklon Thomas, and Lyle over Machen by a
middle round TKO. Bowe would tire toward the end of the fight, but hold on for
the win. |

machens'performances against liston and quarry, i pick machen by a decision in a
brutal,exciting fight.these are the kinds of matchups i can savor!bowe by ho hum
decision over thomas.why pick names out of a hat ?why not post fights you would
really like to see? then tally the votes.i can think up a dozen matchups more
interesting than fights involving tubbs and bonecrusher smith.pick x amount of
fighters by vote or consensus among participants.then,vote on matchups,then
conduct an elimination tourniment.this would eliminate fights based on random
change or a game of statistics.|
