January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

was notorious about not taking a punch very well so that is why I think he would
be knocked out by Lewis. If it was Jerry verses Lewis on the other hand, even
though he was a lot smaller than Lewis, he would be more of a match for Lewis
than Patterson if only because Jerry could take a terrific punch. I would say
the same thing about Rocky Marciano verse Lewis as well. I will have to think
about the current matches and post about them tommorow or Sunday. |

Quarry stops Young by TKO in the 6th. The first 3 rounds saw Jerry pressing the
action to the body, Young using his jab to fend him off. Young is very hard to
hit with a clean shot. In the fourth Jerry lands some hard body shots, a stiff
right sends Jimmy reeling. The fifth round Young is holding, and ducks through
the ropes when Jerry puts more than three punches together. The ref takes the
round away from Young for this tactic. In the 6th, Jerry staggers Young with a
left and right on a break, Young retreats to the ropes. Jerry trys to put Young
away and drops him with a right. Young gets up at 7 and ducks through the ropes
again. The ref stops it at 2:06. Young protests and says he is not hurt and
later says he was robbed. Williams stops La Starza in the 5th round. Williams
towers over the 5'11" LaStarza and uses his long left to set up right hands.
Both fighters head hunt for the firts two rounds and Carl gets the better of it.
In the third Roland shifts to a body attack and gets in some good shots though
Williams seems to take it well. In the fith round Williams hurts LaStarza and
opens a cut over his right eye. By the end of the round Williams is giving
LaStarza a thumping. Williams opens the 5th with a hard combination that sends
Roland reeling. A left hook drops him to one knee. Up at a count of 8 Williams
hammers him along the ropes and drops him again as the ref steps in. TKO 1:43.

it be like the Ellis and Machen fights for Jerry or like the Spencer and
Patterson fights. I know I'm not going to win any popularity awards but I must
pick Young - in his prime he gave Foreman, Ali and Norton fits and you could
argue he won the last two (many do). If Ali and Norton couuld'nt outbox him and
Foreman or Lyle could'nt knock him out I feel that Quarry could'nt do it either.
Young on points. La Starza was a cagey boxer with a good chin, I believe he was
stopped only twice (by Marciano and Julio Mederos). The size would be a big
factor and believe Williams after a few scary moments takes a good decision.I do
feel Williams would win a decision if the two were the same size however.|

by late kayo over Young and Carl Williams over La Starza by decision. Gil
Clancy once said that Jerry was the best gym fighter he ever saw and that he
used contenders like Young as sparring partners and he controlled the action.
Interesting point about the Young verses Lyle fights, Lyle has always believed
that he won both fights. As I remember them or at least one of them, Lyle
landed the more telling blows and he kept up a steady body attack, but Young
landed more punches and the fights were close. |

to be back after long abscence. Had to get some business done across the US.
Especially Georgia. Recently returned from Santa Ana, Calif. I'm very glad to
see this site still going strong. Also glad that certain "characters" are no
longer here. Very ineteresting match-ups. Jerry vs Jimmy is very tough. I pick
Quarry by ko 6. This is Quarry prior to the 2nd loss to Frazier. If it was post
Frazier I would pick Young. I don't think using Ali is a good measuring
stick. Many could argue that Ali was finished after the Manila fight with
Frazier. He was clearly out of shape in that fight. He looked fat to me. Clearly
a lack of motivation on Ali's part. Also Young didn't go after Ali like my
Norton did. Norton was far more robbed than the elusive Young. Norton beat Ali
twice (official and unofficial)while Ali was in his prime. Of course Ali was
washed up when Norton beat him the 3rd time. I'm no hypocrite. As for "The
