January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

usiness,refereeing QUARRY/CHUVALO FOREMAN/ALI, and i'm not talking about a fast
count or the canvas being soft or the ropes too loose!!|
|12/13/02 03:08:20 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|I've watched that Chuvalo vs Quarry
bout many times and feel, sadly that Jerry got up too late. I felt Zack done a
good job in that fight and he did shout the count into Jerry's ear. It was very
similar to what happened to Jersey Joe in the rematch with Rocky.|

fair and square to Chuvalo. Not because he was hurt, it was simply a mental
laspe on Jerry's part. It seems to me that he forgot he had gotten back up
quickly before kneeling down to take the eight count and he thought he had more
time to get up than he actually had. Even Don Dunphy, the announcer, was
shocked and he can be heard shouting, "Oh no!" when Jerry was counted out. I
think Frazier of the second fight with Jerry would have been hard to beat by
anyone. He felt he had something to prove after losses to Ali and Foreman.
Frazier worked hard to get ready for that fight because he knew Jerry was
capable of taking what he had wanted very much, another shot at the title.
Louis was late in stopping the fight. I don't know how he didn't notice that
Jerry was bleeding badly and no longer throwing many punches in return. I will
say this though, I lost respect for Angelo Dundee after watching Frazier/Quarry
2 again recently because it reminded me how disrespectful he was to Joe Louis.
You can hear him yelling several times in the fight to Louis, "get out of the
way Joe, work the other side," in a very sarcastic tone of voice. I realize
Louis may have been in the way of his line of sight or the television cameras
but, the ring is the referee's territory and Dundee had no right to say these
things and to treat Louis like that. Joe Louis was boxing royalty at that point
and he should have been treated as such.|

1968-1971 was one of the best ever. After the first Ali fight he was never the
same. He always had a layer of fat in the middle and was just not as ferocious.
Early Frazier is such a pleasure to watch. I sure wish Frazier-Bonavena II
could be found complete. It looked like a war in the 5 rounds I do have.|

ZACH CLAYTON DOWN FOR THE QUARRY-FOREMAN BOUTS HE OFFICIATED, I WAS PUTTING HIM
DOWN FOR HIS OWN SHADYNESS OUTSIDE THE RING,ANYBODY REFEREEING A QUARRY-CHUVALO
WAR OR FOREMAN-ALI, IS DUE HIS RESPECT,BUT SHOULD ONLY BE PAID BY HIS OWN
EMPLOYER,IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,KENT(THE CURLY Q.LINK OF OUR NON-DEFUNCT
FEARLESS LEADERS CLUB)I RECENTLY WENT OVER THE RON CRANMER/QUARRY BOUT,CRANMER
WAS LISTED AT 8-5-1 5 KO'S.THE SCORING WAS 56-59,53-60,54-58,BY THE
JUDGES,CRANMER WOULD NOT HAVE EVER BEEN ALLOWED IN AN ARENA WITH JERRY AT ANY
OTHER TIME, FOR HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROBABLY KILLED IN THE RING,AND THEY JQ OF
1983 WOULD HAVE WON EASILY BY KNOCKOUT, JERRY WAS SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA
ALREADY, AND EVEN AT 205LBS HAD LOST ALL HIS MUSCLE TONE, IN 1983 VS GUERRA, HE
DID LOOK LIKE A 195LB CRUSIERWEIGHT DESTROYER,2 PUNCHES 2 KNOCKDOWNS-ONE FOR
FULL COUNT, TAKE CARE!|

Hollyfield again? Consider their positions again.Could set up a Tua vs Byrd,the
winners of these two matches might actually get to fight one of those weird,
tall,Russion communists who are bent on destroying our very way of life. |

referee'e function is first and formost to protect the fighters and ensure a
clean and fair fight.Allthough recently I have heard ref's admonishing fighters
to "lets go ,let'sfight!|
