January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

City||raymccormack2003@yahoo.com||||10|Fan, when you mentioned Quarry-Foster,
regarding the Dempsey 75th birthday party it brought chills down my side (honest
to God). Remember all those oldtime champs that were there. Sadly they are all
gone. And the ones who were young champs are now old time champs.Fan,
when I used to buy fight films. I would tell the person I was buying them from,
"leave the pre-fight introductions on the tape, if necessary I will pay extra".
Fan, did you see the prefight intoduction on tape before Patterson-Chuvalo. Talk
about all time greats at that fight. I remember the night of that fight, I was
rooting so hard for Floyd. I stayed up waiting to hear the results of the fight
on the local news. I went to bed not knowing who won. I did not learn the
results until the next dayQuarry-Foster, I did not know much about
Foster at the time except that he knocked out everyone he fought. Although, I
did go down to the Felt Forum and watched Foster train. I remember he was
breathing hard after 2 lackluster rounds with Charlie "Emperor" Harris (JQ old
sparring partner). I remember Foster tagging Jerry that night in I think it was
the 2nd round (I may be wrong), and sadly I thought the end was near for Jerry.
Of course I was wrong! The Jerry Quarry who fought Foster that night was 25
years old and in fantastic shape. If that Quarry fought Ken Norton in 1975, I
have no doubts that he would have knocked Norton out; and probably in the same
round he knocked Foster outFan, did you see Dick Tiger- Frankie Depaula?
The 1st 5 rounds of that fight rivaled Foreman-Ron Lyle for exciteman.|

Forrest are one of the same, same mistakes, same wording, same person. |

City||raymccormack2003@yahoo.com||||10|Sherlock, I've been on this board over 5
years. And that is without a doubt the nicest compliment I've ever received on
this board. |

I went to the Felt Forum and watched Jerry train for Foster. Met he, Mike, and
Jimmy, and all three could not have been more friendly. I actually have poor
(very dark) 8mm film I took that day of Jerry sparring with a heavyweight named
Bob Feldstein. And I still have the Ring magazine that both Jerry and Mike
autographed for me. After the workout, Jerry told the reporters that Mac had
taken "too big a jump (in competition) ths time". He really seemed confident.
For his part, Mac is a legitimate American hero who was also a
gentleman, and, if I recall correctly, even attended Jerry's funeral service. I
hope he is faring well. Does anyone know anything about how Mac is doing?
Final thought for Forest: "Let's get ready to rumble" notwithstanding, Richard
Buffer is no Johnnie Addie. PS Sherlock - no disrespect, but I'm the
"other" Fan, not he of Fandom, and certainly not Forest.|
