January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

didn't get to see the two Quarry vs Patterson fights.I've never seen either
fight in it's entirety.I've seen snippits of rounds and seen the knockdowns on
the Quarry tape, short version.I noticed that in round two,Quarry had two pretty
solid knockdowns.I also noticed that in the final scoring,He was givven a 3-0
round,for round two!! Combining the other part,s of the fight I saw where Quarry
looked a little lerthargic but clearly landing the harder ,more effective
blows.Not having seen the whole fight,and constantly reading how Jerry got a
"disputed decision".I can only assume Jerry blew the fight.I have never before
seen a 3-0 round,even with two knouckdowns.|

Daryl, what were you doing being up that late? I was up all night working on a
couple of pieces for some other websites. Just got over being sick for almost
two weeks. Have not talked to the person we spoke about visiting. Have you
been in contact with him? Also haven't talked to our pal, his brother. It
doesn't matter if anyone else knows who I am talking about as it is not
something secret by any means but I know you will understand what I am talking
about. |

entitled "When We Were Kings".I had forgetten how well Ali actually fought back
against Forman.He landed hard right hand leads,which George Plimpton said was a
kind of insult to another professional fighter.He landed alot more hard
combinations of jabs,left hooks,and very hard rights than I remembered.I'm not
an Ali fan.It paines me to say it ,but I think Ali actually outfought Forman
that night.My previous impression of this fight was of Ali laying on the
ropes,doing nothing, just letting Forman wear himself out.I still wan't to know
about that 3-0 round in the Quarry vs Patterson fight. |

had.Always wondered if they They new it.Mike was a #1 class act all the
way.Wishing him luck with his medical condition.|

Max. I hope you share more of your experiences with us, the fans of the
Quarrys. Mike still is a class act and I think he will beat his latest
ailment.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Max HORD: I can just see Mike at Pete,s
gym, I'll bet he did toy with those guys,too bad he didn't have a punch
comparable to Jerry's punch. or even like Mike Nixon's. he would have definetly
been an Light HEAVYWEIGHt Champion. Steve i know Patterson would have lost the
first bout with Quarry,had he not gotten a 2-point gift knock down in the 7th
round, at the coliseum.|

here you go...I fought on an undercard in Miami back in 76 I beleive, when Mike
Quarry fought some local guy named Tony Greene.Mike had him out several times
but the ref kept making a big production over a small cut over Mikes left
eye.Anyway the fight went 10 and they gave Greene the best present he will ever
get..A DRAW!! I hated Miami boxing then and still do.Mike said after the fight
that he just got tired of hitting the guy.Don't get me wrong Greene was tough
but really he didn't win one round. |
