January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

weeks ago, but weighted 103 Kg (about 230 lbs) for his last fight and now he
could almost be employed as a bouncer.I think an actor who can boxe
quite well is Mickey Rourke. I bet he lives in Los Angeles. And Kim Basinger
lives in Los Angeles too. |

question was: the legendary FRANCO (FRANCESCO) DE PICCOLI. This guy won the gold
medal in the heavyweight division with ease.Yesterday I saw the final match
which he won by first round knockout. Franco was a devastating puncher, too bad
that he couldn't take a punch well...As a professional, after a brillant start,
he was knocked out by Wayne Bethea and Joe Bygraves.|
|5/29/05 03:59:00 AM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|Luan Krasniqui knocked Whitaker out
in 6 rounds !!!!!!!!! I think he will play a very important role (ruolo)
in the heavyweight division from now on.And from now on I think Lance
"Goofi" Withaker will be on of the best bouncers in the wordl:1) Calvin Lane
2) The former wrestler Zeus (I can't remember his real name in this very
moment)3)Lance Whitaker|

actors that boxed well, Robert Conrad and Robert Blake. Ryan O'Neil had his
neck dislocated while sparring with Joe frazier.|
|5/29/05 12:59:33 PM|Kent|murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|One actor who
can fight is Danny Bonaduce who was on the Partridge family.In celebrity
boxing matches he defeated Donny Osmond, a singer with a karate background, by
decision and Bonaduce actutally knocked out Barry Williams, who played Greg
Brady on the Brady Bunch.Bonaduce also has a martial arts background. |
|5/29/05 04:49:57 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Kent, how come you know all these
things ? Were you a member of the fan clubs for the Patridge Family and Brady
Bunch programmes ? Interesting.James Carne fought well as Sonny Corleone
in The Godfather. When he was beating his brother-in-law it looked real. Those
'spaghetti westerns' when Bud Spencer punched his horse didn't look like acting
either. Next thing some of you guys are going to tell me that the wrestling
isn't real when they jump on someone's head from the ropes.Gino, you've
opened up a can of worms. |
|5/29/05 05:41:30 PM|Massimo Giulio Leonardo Cini, that's my name
!|Roma||4||||10|Bud Spencer, real name Carlo Pedersoli, born in Naples (Naples
is a difficult way to say Napoli) in 1929, he is one of my favourite actors. His
life is very interesting too, he was a great swimmer (first man in Italia to
swim 100 m in less than 1 minute). He wrote the music of some nice songs for his
own movies. He went to college at 17 studing chemistry but had to quit because
his family settled (or settled down, but not settled up) in South America. Then,
years later, he took a degree in Law. He played in 4 movies with Joe Bugner,
beating him to a pulp in each of these movies. A very interesting person. Today
he is old like hell and is involved in Politics. A legend. I saw so many of his
movies, how to forget "Trinita'" or "Continuavano a chiamarlo Trinita'" with
Terence Hill (real name Mario Girotti) ?PS: Noam, I know that WRESTLING
is a fake, but I remember when Hulk Hogan lifted (or raised) Andre' the Midget
and that wasn't an easy thing to do. Actually Andre' was a very short guy, but
still (or yet) weighted about 520 lbs !|
|5/29/05 10:37:09 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Massimo, get serious. Wrestling is
life and death stuff. It is NOT fake.Bud Spencer. I'm surprised he could
float let alone swim. Spencer is not built like a swimmer. He looks like a
wrestler. You sure you're not mixing him up with someone else, perhaps Johnny
Weismuller.Gino, I think you are wrong saying that movies don't make
fighting look real. John Holmes did okay in his movies. |
|5/30/05 01:03:57 AM|Kent|Murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Noam, there
have been specials that have celebrity boxing on T.V. Some of the match ups
featured those I mentioned plus others such as, "the battle of the nerds,"
Dustin Diamond (Screech from, I forget the name of the show) vs. Ronald Pallilo
