January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

after an accidental head butt in the second round followed by two legitimate
knockdowns. Forrest fought a great fight though and he deserves all of the
credit in the world but I am not sure who will win a rematch because if Shane
avoids getting hurt by mainly the right hand, and if he boxes like he did in the
opening round in the second fight, the outcome may be different. Forrest said
he would give him a rematch and I hope it does happen. We just may have the
makings of a trilogy like Ali/Frazier and Leonard/Hearns. Yes Forrest does kind
of remind me of Hearns. |

just a moment. "What about them Rams?" Itwas a joke between Jerry and myself
that the Rams would never win the Super Bowl.Just could be that they are
going to win it twice. I was very surprised that Mosley lost.Soon we will
have a new location for this web page. We will keep you posted. I hope our web
masterputs all the old letters back up for viewing.|

Jimmy, The Rams have won a super bowl and they may win another one this year,
but are they really still the Rams we remember? I am from the Los Angeles area,
just like Jerry and you. I haven't considered them my Rams since they moved to
St. Louis from Los Angeles (actually Anaheim, but still in the area). I not
sure your bet with Jerry would still count because when the discussion started
you guys were talking about the Los Angeles Rams, not the St. Louis Rams (those
traitors!) |

the Martin-Liston fight on CSN last night. I knew Liston had lost, but it was
still a shock to see him on has back and out cold. People were in the ring and
Martin was being interviewed even before Liston was revived. It was a very
weird scene. There was some question sometime back as to how Jerry would have
done against Liston at this point and I don't think Jerry would have had much of
a problem in 1969. Once Martin recovered from being knocked down, Liston
immediately began to get tired. He really looked all of his 37 years. It was
very sad.|

Liston was a good indicator as to what Jerry would have done with him by that
time. Max Kellerman was innacurate when he said that the Martin-Liston fight
was part of the WBA elimination touranment. We all know that Martin lost in the
first round of that to Ellis and Liston wasn't even in the tournament. I
already had the Liston-Martin fight, but was so pleased to get that nice crisp
copy of Chuvalo-Ali I complete, which Classic showed last night as well. I am
pouring through my 125 Ring magazines I purchased that range from 1965-1986 and
am really enjoying going through various careers month by month. My goal after
getting all the tapes of fights is to get every Ring magazine from 1960-1980.
That is about 240 magazines and I have about 80 or so different right now. It
may take a while, but I am sure it can be done. The way Ring covers Norton is
funny, they start building him up then break him down after he gets knocked out
by Jose Luis Garcia. They cahnged their tune again after the first Ali fight.|

watched Leotis Martin verses Sonny Liston and it was scary when Sonny was out
cold on the floor as Martin and his people celebrated. It is ironic how much
bias there is in the media for a favored fighter, in this case Liston. Howard
Cosell, when he was interviewing Martin after the fight, told Martin that Cosell
thought he was behind in the fight, implying that Martin would have lost if not
for the knockout, while Martin thought it was about even. If Martin was behind
it was only because he suffered a knockdown. I thought the fight was very close
up to the end. I have never seen what the scores were before the knockout.
Anybody know what they were? |
