all. I was REALLY hoping that Jerry's big 1977 comeback against Lorenzo Zanon
would have been much more eventful and successful than it was for Jerry.... I
saw the fight in full back then. I know Zanon was a skillful boxer, but he had
a reputation as having a glass chin. Zanon also gave Ken Norton a tough go of
it. It broke my heart to see Jerry get out-boxed so bad against Zanon.... This
was a great chance for Jerry to jump back into the top 10 with an impressive
win, but as you know the win wasn't impressive at all. I think Jerry in his
prime would have crushed Zanon! Why in you guy's opinion didn't Jerry prepare
himself better for this big comeback ON NATIONAL TV???? What happened????
Howard Cosell said that Zanon was knocked out by what he called "glancing
blows". Do you think Zanon actually took a dive so Jerry could possibly
continue his career???? |

Cosell was famous for saying, at times during a bout, that a punch did no
damage. After all, he can say that from the safety at ringside as he wasn't the
one getting hit. I do believe that Zanon got hit with good punches and I don't
believe he layed down at all. Why would he fight hard for almost eight rounds
and then all of sudden take a dive? It doesn't make sense. Also Keith, Jerry
wasn't in shape but as we have stated here recently, Jerry had no business
getting in the ring at that stage in his life. He, for his own good, should
have stayed retired. Jimmy D, you are right, the Corletti fight was at the
forum. I stand corrected. Mr. Jimmy never said where his one and only pro
fight was, only that he lost. Maybe someone in the Quarry family knows this
information. Sabrina, Sonia, or Eric, do you know where and when your dad's
only pro fight was? |

on the undercard of Ali - Norton 2 - This probably means that there is footage
of this fight somewhere. I hope it turns up.|

one and only pro fight was held, but i have seen a picture of him in the ring,
my Mother had it all these years...Thanks to everyone for keeping this website
going, it really means alot to us and i know my Dad would be proud....|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|KEITH WHITE: Keith there is no way Zanon
took a dive, Jerry always had problems when his foe was a "JABBER" and had an
80'inch reach,Tony Alongi,Tony Doyle,of course MUAHAMMAD ALI, KEN NORTON,LARRY
MIDDLETON etc. like fellow "stooger" Kent, we think he should have fought 8th
ranked ALFREDO EVANGELISTA and got the KAYO and his RANKING#8. I HAVE a clipping
of JERRY ROLLING HIS PICKUP and breaking his back that same year, before,they
