pretty easily. Florida Al Jones tore his rotator cuff against Luis Pires and<br />
still fought to draw. Tough akward southpaw who could punch a little. Liked to<br />
hold and grab and punch at the same time. Was in the top 10 when he tore the<br />
shoulder and was never the same. Take care.|<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Joe K.,that was the perfect way to<br />
describe Leroy Jones from Denver,(A POOR MAN'S BUSTER MATHIS).I Agree totally,He<br />
beat the inexperienced Weaver.And that was probably his biggest win,lack of a<br />
major league wallop like Bugner hinderd his career.Bunny Johnson from England<br />
was around in that time.I first met MIKE QUARRY in bakersfield, right after his<br />
bout with Johnson in Australlia.(Mike lost on a cut in the 7th).Johnson also was<br />
ranked # 3 for a while,And just about won every round against Duane Bobick in<br />
Munich,then suddenly quit on his stool for the 9th round mysteriously,what about<br />
Bugner-johnson?? Evern?|<br />

Bobick getting kayoed by the South African Kallie Knoutze. Bobick was in my mind<br />
one of the biggest false alarms ever. Cooney and Morrison would have kayoed him<br />
and JQ would have fitted him for a wheel chair. |<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|JERRY QUARRY'S CAREER WAS SO<br />
INTERESTING:For it seemed every bout he had,there was a little controversy,I<br />
never knew he hit the deck momentarily until i sent off for a microfilm listing<br />
of his bout with Roy Crear in Texas,<strong>The</strong> George Chuvalo ending,decked after the<br />
bell vs Rufus Brassell,koing Brian London, only after the timer's made a mistake<br />
and ended the round a minute to early in Oakland,Had 10 great MSG BOUTS.his<br />
family engaging in the war in Vegas and ALI II.Frazier and TEDDY BRENNER almost<br />
having heart failure,when <strong>Jerry</strong> took on the hard punching lefthooker JOE<br />
ALEXANDER FOR A TUNEUP!Coming from behind to finish highly touted Mac Foster<br />
with a Major league assortment of punches,<strong>The</strong>re just always seemed like<br />
something controversial was going on with <strong>Jerry</strong>,it sure would make for a great<br />
movie, I HAVE A FRIEND THAT IS THE SPITING IMAGE OF A 1970 JQ, BUILD THE WAY HE<br />
TALKED EVERYTHING!|<br />
|6/3/03 01:54:14 PM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|I also remember<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> being behind on points in his fight with Randy Neuman until he hit Randy<br />
with quite a low punch in the 7th round. He took charge after that.|<br />

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|BIG JOHN: YES HE HIT NEUMANN THE LOW<br />
ONE,ABOUT THE 4TH ROUND,HE ALSO HIT HIM A GREAT ARM SHOT,(BICEPS).THAT DWINDLED<br />
DOWN HIS JAB,JERRY WAS AT 209 (HEAVIEST OF HIS CAREER AT THE TIME).BUT STILL<br />
SHOOK OFF THE RUST AND GAVE NEUMANN A SOLID PASTING,QUARRY WAS 209 3/4 VS "SCRAP<br />
IRON" IN 1975.ANOTHER TIME VS LOU BAILEY,THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE JERRY QUARRY WAS<br />
JERRY QUARRY AND REFUSED HIM ADMITTANCE,QUICKLY(SO THE MAIN EVENT COULD GO ON)IT<br />
WAS RESOLVED.THEN AFTER THE MATCH.(A DECISION OVER BAILEY,WHO HIT THE DECK 5-<br />
TIMES).JQ WAS LOCKED OUT OF HIS DRESSING ROOM,I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY,HE MISSED<br />
DES MOINES MUCH,FIRST THE # 2 CONTENDER IN THE WORLD HAD TROUBLE GETTING IN THE<br />
ARENA, AND AFTER HAD TROUBLE GETTING OUT!! UNREAL!|<br />
|6/4/03 11:02:58 AM|Johnny Q|New York||johnqw@yahoo.com||||10|Is this the same<br />
Randy Neumann who is now a big fight referee?|<br />
|6/4/03 11:29:48 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|yes, its the same<br />
Neuman who is now a ref in New Jersey.JIMMY D. -- thanks for those great<br />
sidenotes and details. I guess JQ's best weight was around 198 or so?|<br />

Texas||Rondemo7@aol.com||||10|After <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> beat Earnie Shavers (it was an<br />
elimination bout scheduled for 12 rounds) the winner was supposed to fight<br />
George Foreman for the heavyweight championship. <strong>The</strong> fight never materialized.<br />
Does anyone know the answer? I've heard and read George wanted no part of <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
and decided to fight Ali in Zaire. It is my opinion that George wasn't really
