our pick to win. Hurry back Evren, we have gotten this far with the tournament,<br />
we might has well finish it. I think it would have been a better idea to do 32<br />
fighters at the beginning of the tournament instead of 64. I do hope we can<br />
finish it though. We sure have been through a lot in the time since it started,<br />
and not all good of course. |<br />

article on another website by a guy who was trying to become a fighter as a<br />
teenager.<strong>Jerry</strong> was just turning pro at the time,coming of his amazing amatuer<br />
career.this guy was inspired by <strong>Jerry</strong>'s sucess.He tried to contact <strong>Jerry</strong> without<br />
any sucess.He finally just looked him up in the phone book.To his amazement,<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> himself answered the phone.<strong>Jerry</strong> was full of encouragement and even<br />
invited him to visit when he was training,at the time in a converted garage in<br />
Johnny Flores backyard.I don't know the guys'name,but wonder if it might be the<br />
ltheavywieght Rick Farris mentioned by Paul Drolet.|<br />

Eastside for their "Time Tunnel" series.Especially anything about 70's fights.|<br />

|8/30/02 08:12:25 PM|paul|Montreal||drolpaul@aol.com||||10|Steve, the man who<br />
called <strong>Jerry</strong> was indeed Rick Farris. I think I may have been mistaken in<br />
claiming Rick was a lightheavy. He was lighter. I believe Rick hailed from<br />
Burbank, an area not known as being fertile ground for aspiring prizefighters,<br />
but he had a lenghthy, good career and fought main-event bouts in the L.A. area.<br />
Rick is also a boxing writer. You probably read the piece on the<br />
"cyberboxingzone" website. It has a section called Wail which I highly<br />
recommend. Rick's piece is called "My Memories of <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong>." |<br />

thanks for the compliment on my article about the recent James Toney fight. I<br />
have done one piece for the time tunnel section over at Eastside Boxing about<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong>'s fight agaisnt Ron Lyle. I will probably do some more about fights from<br />
that time period in the next few months. I have been working on a series of<br />
articles for Eastside and another site called Heavyweight News featuring<br />
hypotheical fights between Wladimir Klitschko verses six of the all time greats.<br />
I have done four or the six bout series so far. I am also doing the series of<br />
all time greats verses each other for Heavyweight News. <strong>The</strong> editor gave me the<br />
assignment after I complained about the results of <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> losing to Larry<br />
Holmes by a knockout by a body shot and now I am working on a bout between Jack<br />
Johnson and Max Baer. That is if the editor over at heavyweights isn't impatient<br />
with me as I promised him that piece a few weeks ago but I have been too busy to<br />
get it done. Fianlly, I will be reworking an interview I did last year with<br />
James <strong>Quarry</strong> about the foundation that appered here on the <strong>Quarry</strong> site homepage<br />
and at Eastside boxing, and I am updating it to acknowledge his passing away.<br />
It should be up at Heavyweight News in the coming weeks. |<br />

is a copy of a document that I helped write and edit for the American<br />
Association for the Improvement of Boxing, 86 Fletcher Avenue, Mount Vernon, New<br />
York 10552-3319, 914.664.4571, email--aaib@worldnet.att.net, and website:<br />
http://www.aaib.att.net. Those of you who have followed the efforts of TJQF to<br />
make boxing better for the fans and fighters know that TJQF has frequently<br />
worked closely with the AAIB to support the same positions on many legislative<br />
issues through the efforts of James and myself. In my next posting, I will<br />
provide a copy of MANIFESTO 2001, a document that contains many of those<br />
positions and refers specifically tt the importance of TJQF's role in all of<br />
this. Please read this and provide any feedback on this to me, as your comments
