his infrequent bad nights scored the bout even)as did judge Aidala 5-5.and Leo<br />
BIRNBAUM,who should have never been gave a pencil had it 7-2-1 Alongi.n.y TIMES<br />
Scored it 6-4 <strong>Quarry</strong>. all six HW MATCHES CONSISSED of young heavyweights, but<br />
only <strong>Quarry</strong> seemed to combine a sense of patterned intelligence with pure animal<br />
power,his jab needs more training, but his reactions were quick,and his<br />
willingness to stay belligerent and pressing ahead was impressive.P.S. JOE<br />
FRAZIER WAS ALSO ON THEY UNDERCARD!!I'll take this article by Robert<br />
Lipsite,over anything ole Bert Sugar had to say of JQ!!!!|<br />

restating myself, but <strong>Quarry</strong> was robbed vs. Chuvalo --- not deliberately. He had<br />
Chuvalo and was in control clearly, Chuvalo's face was a mess. Whe <strong>Jerry</strong> went<br />
done, he sprang up quickly, then went BACK to one knee to use the count. He rose<br />
AGAIN exactly at 10. Since it was his Second time rising, he should've been<br />
allowed to continue, but the ex-Globetrotter stuck it to him. It was close<br />
enough to go that way, yes. But it was a robbery given that <strong>Jerry</strong> was clearly<br />
winning. Chuvalo did not beat him. As for Ellis, I don't know anyone who thinks<br />
Jimmy, a good heavy for the time like Chuvalo, was better than <strong>Jerry</strong>. That's the<br />
thing about belts and talent, the same guy doesn't always have them both. In the<br />
public eye, <strong>Jerry</strong> was considered a "champion" from before the Ellis fight to the<br />
first losses to Ali and Frazier. It took Joe some time to be considered clearly<br />
better, and Ali was out of the picture and had lost to Joe. During this period,<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> was often treated as a champion, and better than Ellis, whom actually<br />
briefly had a belt. Says a lot about perception and opinion. |<br />

comments. However to be fair re the Chuvalo fight: Ring magazine wrote in their<br />
fight report that Chuvalo "appeared to be coming on stronger in the 5th and 6th<br />
rounds. Boxing Illustrtated gave a very slanted report of the fight claiming<br />
that "in spite of fighting with practically one eye Chuvalo took the 6th round<br />
when he forced <strong>Quarry</strong> to the ropes and whaled away at the body. <strong>Quarry</strong> was<br />
being forced to stand and fight instead of boxing Chuvalo" Forced to stand and<br />
fight? Hello, at no time in his career was <strong>Jerry</strong> "forced" to stand and fight!<br />
Also, Chuvalo was quoted as saying " I wasn't too badly hurt no matter how I<br />
looked. I was smothering a lot of his shots" With what George, your face?<br />
Sorry, but it seems to me that George was getting pounded. Also as I recall<br />
watching this fight on WOR TV I recall that announcer Don Dunphy did not like<br />
<strong>Quarry</strong>. He consistently highlighted every time Chuvalo landed a punch. Later<br />
when <strong>Quarry</strong> KO'd Mac Foster, during the post-fight interview in the ring Dunphy<br />
kept saying "I know that, <strong>Jerry</strong>" in a very condescending manner. Oh well, Don<br />
never stepped into a ring himself, did he? In closing it should be remembered<br />
that Zack Clayton was in fact yelling the count in <strong>Jerry</strong>'s ear. I can't blame<br />
Clayton-when he yelled "10" <strong>Jerry</strong>'s knee was on the canvas. It was <strong>Jerry</strong>'s<br />
mistake and he paid for it. No surprise that Chuvalo never stepped into the<br />
ring with <strong>Jerry</strong> again.|<br />

hard to accept that <strong>Jerry</strong> lost the Chuvalo fight. But <strong>Jerry</strong> did lose, it<br />
doesn't matter what the circumstances were. <strong>The</strong> main thing that bothers me now<br />
is when I read where Burt Sugar said <strong>Jerry</strong> quit. I will repeat again, <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
never quit in his life! Sugar does not know what he was talking about. For my<br />
own reasons though, I think Zack Clayton didn't like the <strong>Quarry</strong>s and he wouldn't<br />
have gone out of his way to give <strong>Jerry</strong> the benefit of the doubt if there was any<br />
way he could have decided in <strong>Jerry</strong>'s favor. |<br />

versus Prime Louis takes Foreman by mid to late round KO, Louis' boxing and<br />
power begin to dominate in the 6th round and he goes on to a 9th or 10th round<br />
KO. Foreman's youthful ability to overextend himself was brought in full view<br />
by Ali and Jimmy Young. <strong>The</strong> feeling of omnipotence that floods us in youth has<br />
no place in the heavyweight arena. Sure, George won alot, but was outpaced and
