Paul for seeming to pile on but, Jerry was decked in the first Patterson fight,
which was scored a draw. Jim Quarry said in a post here once, that Jerry was
not really hit with a solid punch and that the knockdown was really a slip. If
this was the case, then Jerry would have won the first Patterson fight.|

count in that one !|
|8/1/02 12:52:40 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Was'nt Jerry decked by Memphis Al
Jones ?|
|8/1/02 01:26:07 PM|Joe Krause|Chciago||sadmspats@yahoo.com||||10|I believe
Jerry was decked and in real trouble against Al before knocking him out in the
5th. No tape of that one is avialable.|
|8/1/02 03:22:02 PM|Paul Drolet|Montreal||drolpaul@aol.com||||10|So it was Jones
and not Miteff who knocked Jerry down. Thanks for setting me straight, Joe. |

fight tapes - it's amazing what turns up.|

FIGHT PROGRAM FOR SALE ON EBAY. WHO WON THIS FIGHT, AND HOW?|
|8/1/02 09:48:32 PM|Joe Krause|Chicago||sadmspats@yahoo.com||||10|That is true
Evren. I just found Chuvalo-Doug Jones and I thought wasn't in exsistence. Too
bad your is all English stuff I can't convert, i'm sure you have stuff I could
use.|

Quarry scored a 12 round TKO over Thad Spencer in the semi finals of the WBA
tournament to crown a succesor to Muhammad Ali, who was stripped of the
heavyweight title. Jerry scored two knockouts in the fight, one by a left hook
in the fourth round and one by a right hand in the tenth round. Jerry stopped
Spencer with seconds remaining in the fight with a barrage of punches that had
Spencer helpless. EVREN, I GOT THE EARNIE SHAVERS TAPE. THANKS, IT IS GREAT.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|JERRY QUARRY: was knocked down a total of
6 times,twice in the third round against "MEMHIS JONES" were he lost 4 teeth and
a broken jaw, only to kayo JONES IN THE 4TH, A PECULIER CALIFORNIA RULE, WENT IN
THE BOOKS AS KO-5, BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER THE 4TH ROUND BELL (very strange rule).
Then the slip vs PATTERSON, THEY CHUVALO DEBACLE, ALEXANDER, 2ND "smokin" JOE
FRAZIER. THEY RUFUS BRASSELL BOUT, DID NOT GO IN THE BOOKS AS A OFFICIAL
KNOCKDOWN,FOR IT WAS AFTER THE BELL.ONCE BEATEN RUFUS(at THE TIME). HIT THE DECK
FOR A LONG TIME THE NEXT ROUND, COURTESY OF A VERY POTENT LEFT HOOK BY A VERY
ENRAGED "IRISHMAN".|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|KENT: VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE COMMENT, on they
PATTERSON/QUARRY ist bout, Many people think they 2nd bout was so controversial,
how about JERRY'S 2 POINT ROUND SLIP, VS FLOYD AT THE COLISEUM.No one talks
about that one,EVEN FLOYD said it was a slip, still say CORLETTI BOUT at the
forum knuck,knuck, knuck. and leslie BORDON BOUT at WOODLAND HILLS, MIKE AND
MIKE NIXON'S old stomping grounds, TAKE CARE.|

CALIFORNI||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|OKAY IM GETTING A LITTLE LONG WINDED. ONE
THING I KNOW I RESEARCHED IT EVEN AMAZED MOE(MR.JIMMY) IS THAT JERRY WAS IN RING
MAGAZINES TOP 8 (NEVER 9TH OR 10TH) 87 MONTHS, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN 93, IF NOT
FOR A 6 MONTH RETIREMENT HE WAS RATED #1(4) #2 (10) #3 (20) #4 (29) #5 (8) #6
(6) #7 (6) #8 (4), IM SURE THEY W.B.A RATED JERRY EVEN BETTER, FOR THEY DID NOT
RECOGNIZE ALI.|

elsewhere on the internet, that Ring Magazine had JQ in the top 10 from 1967-
1974, except for 1972, I think. That is exceptional staying power in such a
brutal sport, which says volumes to me not just about his talent, but his
