January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

out effort in the second Bowe finds a way to survive the bombardment and comes
fighting back at the bell. Shavers is a little weary in the third and Bowe
begins to box keeping him on the end of a long jab. The fourth round is the
same. The next stanza sees Bowe begin to unload on a tired Shavers who sags in
the corner, badly hurt. The referee administers a count but lets Shavers
continue. As Bowe comes in for the kill Earnie finds some strength and turns
Bowe on ropes where he unleashes five savage punches to Bowes exposed chin.
Riddick falls heavily on his front and the referee counts him out in a brutal
bout. In the interview after Earnie considers whether he will fight on in the
next round as he is so battered. He will of course.|

off the fighter's biggest win, which by his standards Quarry's would be
Shavers.there is a big dicussion about this on boxingrec.i know for a fact JERRY
QUARRY WAS ANYWHERE FROM TOP 8,(DRAW WITH PATTERSON) TO THEY NO.1 CONTENDER BY
RING MAGAZINE FROM 1967-75. And the W.B.A. which were they official rating
commitee rated JQ even higher for they did not recognize Ali's exiled
years.Disregard mike paul's year to year rating's.But on they other hand his
Alltime were pretty damn good.there was an 64 -month period were Jerry only lost
to FRAZIER AND ALI, and beat 5 top teners,
Foster#1,BODELL#8,MIDDLETON#7,LYLE#3,and SHAVERS#5|

Quarry, congratulations on the tremendous work you have done with the
foundation. While you deserve the appreciation of all boxers for this work,
your family has also earned the respect of all fight fans for the courage always
shown. I understand that you have a battle of your own. Having 'Quarry' as
your last name must surely help. Best wishes from Australia. |

out to meets Trevor Berbick in the center of the ring with a lightning right
cross stamping his authority on his bigger foe. Ali starts his pattern of
jabbing and moving, tying up Berbick on the inside. In the next few rounds
Berbick continues to press and makes the fight exciting but continually gets
beaten to the punch and is getting totally outboxed. In the 10th round a
battered Berbick gives and Ali moves in landing a 15 punch combination and the
referee stops the bout with Trevor collapsing by the ropes.The second match
is a great tactical battle between two excellent boxers. For once, at
heavyweight, both are fighting opponents their own weight and both perform
admirably. The fight is close all the way with Charles taking a little edge due
to his extra skill level and he wins a close unanimous decision in a 'purists
delight'.|
