January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Oleg Maskaev, completely was outboxing Amercican Corey Sanders (not the same
Corrie Sanders from South Africa). Maskaev easily won the first seven rounds and
he was winning the eighth round when all of a sudden Sanders nailed him with a
combo and down Maskaev went. He got back up but Sanders again hit him with a
hard combo and the referee stopped the fight. The reason why I am bringing up
this fight is for about seven and one half rounds the fight reminded me of
Jerry's fight with Ron Lyle. Maskaev though a big guy at 6'3" 238 pounds, was
dwarfed in size by the 6'6" 312 pound Sanders and until the knockdown, Maskaev
was proving what I have always believed, that a smaller fighter with better
skills can beat a much larger opponent. He was moving in and out and counter
punching beautifully and he was beating Sanders to the punch until the first
knockdown. One thing though I noticed Maskaev's corner telling him a couple of
times to not stand in front of Sanders when he got in close and that he neeeded
to give Sanders angles so Sanders would be less likely to catch him with good
shots. I think Maskaev wishes he listened to his corner now! |

fight last night.a heavywieght div. ranging from 200 to 300lbs. just doesn't
work well.there must be alot of fighters with the attributes to possibly become
another jerry quarry or joe frazier and win a title in a div.in the 200 to 225
range.guys who are just naturally to big to be a cruiserweight.none of the other
div.s' range over more than 10 or 15lbs.what about a superheavy div?a guy like
cris byrd could be another jimmy young,if he did'nt have to wrestle with
7'giants|
|3/18/02 06:50:34 PM|steve|nj||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|marciano over tubbs by
ko in two.walcott over smith by a methodical beating and ko in five
rounds.anyone watch a walcott fight film lately?i am amazed by the way he
changes momentum on a dime.stops moving foward,and calmly walks to the side four
or five steps,giving his apponent new angles to deal with.walcott is highly
underappreciated.he ranks in at least the top five all time greats. |

thing is Steve, for almost eight rounds Maskaev was wiping the floor with a guy
who outweighed him by 74 pounds. There were several occasions where Sanders was
rocked and he appeared hurt. If Sanders had not got lucky and tagged Maskaev
with some "Hail Mary" punches, no one would mention the weight difference. It
was not the size difference that did Maskaev in. It was his own stupidity of
staying in front of Sanders. Maskaev earlier in his career did the same thing
against David Tua when he was leading in the later stages of a fight and he got
caught and knocked out by Tua and that time he was the bigger fighter and
although the weights were about the same, he had a big height advantage agaisnt
Tua. |

fifth round knockout over Tubbs and Walcott by decision over Bonecrusher.
"Bonecrusher Smith" is a great name though. Maybe he should have been or should
be still a pro wrestler. |
