January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

done back then…geez I sound old! Cutting down trees, busting boulders, digging
ditches built strength and muscle endurance. Then it was into the gym for the
boxing work. Look at pictures of Rocky Graziano, Primo Carnera, or Jim Jeffries
just a few fighters off the top of my head. These guys were cut with big thick
blocky muscles, Carnera did lift weights in the circus but I doubt he spent much
time trying to develop his deltoids. |

now has a place in major league baseball and in pro football. But Congress
voted, along party lines, not to include testing in boxing. Congress also voted,
along party lines, not to create a federal agency to do oversight for the sport
of boxing.So, who voted for the boxers? The Democrats.Who voted against?
The Republicans, who have lowered this country in unprecedented ways this decade
in so many areas.Boxing is a poor man's urban sport with many participants
of color, so GOP opposition to cleaning up the sport is understandable. They
don't care about people,, just money.Democrats however see that this sport
is not going away. So it's participants need monitoring for their own health and
benefit. In short, they need a 'major league'.I hope that those here see
which party they need to back in the future if they want to see this sport
elevated back to a position of respect.Thank You. |

because his orbital bone was cracked by a Frazier left-hook. He wasn't about to
go down though."I was a big fan of GEORGE CHUVALO'S but you have to look
at him realistically. If that fight with FRAZIER had not been stopped then I'm
certain that CHUVALO would have been stopped. You can see him turn away from
FRAZIER, wave him off(he thought that his eye had been knocked out). George
was a very tough guy but he was slow to get off. He had rather short arms and
was at his best fighting inside and generally took a lot of blows to reach
inside. He fought a great fight with FLOYD PATTERSON, went the distance with ALI
twice and KO'd JERRY QUARRY(that fight was one of GEORGE'S proudest moments,
although I always felt that JERRY had already suffered the effects of his boxing
career by then. That was a funny KO. JERRY reacted after the fact and didn't
seem to realize what the count was, which may have been a tad fast.) It would
have made for a good re-match but I guess there weren't any interested parties.|

that dropped Jerry against Chuvalo was on the temple, which can cause a fighter
to be disoriented.Jerry looked like he shook off the effects though when
he went down and then he got up right away only to take a knee.I think
Jerry lost track of the count and maybe somehow he forgot that he was down and
he had gotten back up, thinking he had one or two more seconds in which to get
up.Whatever the case Jerry was not badly hurt and he should have beaten
the count.|

This isn't a political site, it's a boxing site, but many of us, me included,
have chimed in with political views. I take exception to your general sweep
that Republicans have "lowered this country" in the past decade. We could argue
till we're purple in the face about which party's leadership has been better or
worse during our lifetimes and that won't accomplish much. But regarding
