January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

and Louis through. We now have the last two matches in the second round. Evander
Holyfield meets Irish Gerry Cooney. Eddie Machen takes on George
Chuvalo.Bob, I do not mean to be pedantic but in order to get facts correct
Liston beat Williams in three rounds and then two respectively. Also Marciano
was dropped by a Moore straight right hand if my memory serves me correct (I
have not reviewed the film). My thoughts are with James and his family as
always. Bob Quarry did you get my e-mail.Evren|

Tyson went pretty much as I thought, also. I made a couple bucks picking Lewis
by KO9, because I expected a more motivated effort from Tyson, than the one who
looked fairly resigned to defeat on Saturday. He certainly does look the tragic
figure now. Lewis did well to use Buster Douglas's approach to jab and set up
Tyson as Tyson came forward. Despite his win, though, Tyson still, to me,
clearly out ranks Lewis all-time. This fight should've happened ten years ago,
and would've had a much different outcome. Evander Holyfield helped back up my
arguement that he never really beat Tyson with another headbutting performance
vs. flash-in-the-pan Rahman. Anyone who can rank this guy #3 all-time, to me, is
smoking something. He's not much out of the ring either. Lewis does now have
Byrd to train for, but has nothing left to prove as the best champion since
Tyson in the late 80's. thanks|

would be too tough and knock Gerry out in about the 8th. Machen would beat
Chuvalo in a close fight. George didn't like slicksters like Machen and Folley
and would lose a close one. Cheers to Lewis!|

if it was a right or left that Moore dropped Marciano with. I also read a bio
on Liston that said he KO'ed Williams in the sixth so I've beleived it until
now. Anyway, I don't think Holyfield would KO Cooney. Gerry was a pretty good
fighter. He took Holmes into the thirteenth round before he ran out of gas and
it was a close fight at that. Holyfield is a tough guy no doubt and he would do
a number on Cooney. A decesion for Holyfield. A decesion for Machen also.
Eddie didn't have the power to stop George. He would have out boxed him though.
I don't see George doing any major damage to Machen.|

ninth round knockout over Cooney and Machen over Chuvalo by decision. When I get
a chance in the next couple of days, I am going to watch the Marciano/Moore
fight. I think it was a right hand that put Rocky down but I have to check as
you guys got me curious.|
|6/12/02 03:39:15 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|Quite a big thing was made about the
knockdown by Archie. He claims that the referee cost him the fight. I think the
referee was Harry Kessler (who also done Ali-Williams), Archie landed a
perfectly time inside right cross and Rocky fell down and got up quicky. Archie
claims that the referee gave Marciano extra time by getting him to go to Neutral
corner or wiping Rockys gloves down. The film however never did justify this
statement to me though. It looked fair and square to me. Holyfield late round
drubbing over Cooney in a good fight and Machen on points.|

that Lewis won, perhaps a new era of fighters are about to come to pass. Boxing
has not had good fighters for awhile now. The fighters of the past were not
fighting for money like today, they fought because they loved the sport. Jim
doesn't have much time left, thank you for your prayers and help he needs it
bad. He keeps telling me he will be with Jerry soon. We are losing another
brother our oldest and our father. Please keep up the prayers. brenda|

toughness factor,Hollyfield would probably wear down Cooney and TKO him in the
10th round.Machen was way to technicaly proficient to have any trouble with a
block of wood like Chuvalo.Machen by easy decision.So where do we put Tyson now
