January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

I do not know the full circumstances regarding the death of Manual Ramos, except
that it was due to "natural causes". He died at least a year ago, maybe more.
Cleve Williams was struck by a car and killed in Texas at least two years ago
also. On Kirkman-Bonavena. Oscar probably would have taken him out in about
four rounds. Kirkman has a very smart manager in Jack Hurley. To this day, I
don't know why Hurley agreed to a Foreman fight so early in Boone's career. He
never recovered from that humiliation. Kirkman was an excellent club fighter who
was always in good shape and could punch a bit. He also resembled Dempsey and
Schemling in looks. I understand he is in perfect health and has done well
since hanging up the gloves. He said the only man he fought and did not like
personally was Norton.|

everyone know about the revised clip of Frazier-Quarry I on the home page, as
well as in the Video Scrapbook. The new clip includes the ring introductions as
well as an uncut version of Round 1. The video can be viewed, depending on your
connection speed, at 56k dialup or DSL quality. I did my best to improve the
picture. The original was very dark and there was some generation loss, but the
overall quality is very good considering it was taped off broadcast in 1969.
Enjoy the fight. --Carl|

great picture!That was thoughtfull of you ,and your right,I really did enjoy
adding it to my collection.I see you where at the Blue Horizon in Philly during
the late 60's and early 70's.I was there the night EUGENE (CYLONE)Hart and Joey
Archer went out of the ring together and landed on a table.The place was filled
with cigar smoke,and no one sat in thier seats.I loved that place! I only live
about 15 Min.away on the Jersey side of the Ben Franklin bridge.Did you ever see
any fights on closed circuit at the Cherry Hill Arena? I saw Jerry knock out
Ernie Shavers their.Do you remember Boogaloo Watts?Marvin Franklin,Dwight (the
camden buzzsaw)Braxton? They where all highly popular fighters in Philly and
Camden at that time.Gypsey Joe Harris,a welterweight who had only one eye,and
trained on Scotch and milk!He got all the way to a title fight with Emile
Griffith,which he lost.It was only afterwards the boxing commision discovered he
had only one eye! He had the strangest moves and style I've ever seen.He
reminded me of Joe Walcott,with that ability to change direction and angle of
attack on a dime. |

the 80's? I believe Flash still lives in Sunnyside, Queens. |

I remember Flash Gordons deal.He was an outspoken,very knowledgible boxing
writer.He always had time to support the little guys that were trying to promote
and keep boxing alive. I subscribed to the TBP.Wish he was still putting it
out.When I boxed Tony Danza in New York he told me to watch his right hand.I
should have taken his advice.Flash was an o.k.dude.Knowing him he's probably
reading this.Hi Flasher!!! |
