Does anyone have the full fight? I bought one online and it has it to the final bell, but don't announce the decision. I've seen clips of it on the Quarry chronicles video in YouTube with Jerry leaving the ring, but I don't know where to get it. Also, there were guys filming the fight on the apron. Any idea if this film is out there? Also, any RING or boxing magazine write-ups on it?
To say he looked horrible would be an improvement. He barely has any offense, and even less defense. Cranmer beat him soundly for 6 rounds. Jerry is bloated and looking every bit of 47. He was a mess. Here's part of the video. It's towards the end: [YT]AsXk1d095V8&feature=related[/YT]
Thank you steve for the coverage. I have always had a heart felt place in my sole for Jerry Quarry. It still makes no sense to me that he died as young as he did.
My understanding is that, towards the end of his life, the damage was so great that he couldn't recognize his family. Mike and Bobby Quarry suffer(ed) similar conditions, as I understand. I'm guessing too many wars combined with bad genes. But Jerry was a warrior. I love watching him fight.
You all reckon foreman really ducked him?,sometimes a guy just does not like the look of a fighter,they get a bad vibe of them,look at hatton he does not seem keen at all to take on witter a guy i feel he would beat,but sometimes the guy dont always want a part of them,maybe thats the vibe foreman got,i personly see him winning a tough as hell fight in about 10 rounds.
This fight took place in... 92', right? And Quarry wanted to "prove that he wasn't done at 40 something". Foreman's success made him do that, I'm guessing.
I think that's George being nice. But then again, maybe he was afraid of Jerry when he was younger. He was afraid of Frazier, which was a little different of course seeing as Joe was undefeated at the time. I thought most of the fighters were fairly gracious in their recollection of their fights with Jerry. Particularly Earnie Shavers. Class acts.
I think that was the case. Ron Lyle made a comeback in the mid 90's and fought a few live bodies, and Shavers fought for quite some time, too.
