    The Quarry of the Foster fight goes against Max.

    How's it play out?

    If Quarry uses a similar strategy to the one he used against Lyle then I like him to win this.

    He seemed to have the knack of beating guys like Baer. I would give him a much better chance that I would against Schmeling for example.

    Quarry is at his best against big, slow, crude punchers. He should beat Baer comfortably by decision in an impressive showing.

    You got everything right chris except......Baer was not slow. he had terrific handspeed, unlike lyle shavers foster. He is a live chance vs quarry.

    Yeah, he had good handspeed, but he was very easy to read; heavily reliant on his right and telegraphing his punches. He didn't have much of a defense, either, and left himself open for counters. Walk in the park for Jerry. Probably wears him down gradually and takes him out in the mid to later rounds.

    It certainly isnt going to be a walk in the park for Quarry and I doubt that a knockout is on the cards.

    If Quarry boxes clever then he will probably last to take a decision.

    Well, Max was hard to knock out, I'll give him that. Might be a UD for Quarry, but he would be well on top all the same.

    It depends what you mean by well on top.

    He would never be more than a split second from getting his head taken off, or his bain detache from its stem.

    All in a days work for Quarry of course.

    Anyone think Quarry could stop Baer? A TKO maybe?

    Only an exceptional cut.

    Otherwise he cant stop Baer, because where there is no sense there is no feeling.

    Hhahaha.

    Don't know, not a lot of stationary targets I can't see Quarry stopping over 15.
