Just watched Chuvalo-Quarry... B.S. Stoppage?

3-3 is a ridiculous score for that fight which was my original point... It could have EASILY been 6-0 for Quarry.

 

To be fair, Chuvalo won quite a few fights with that approach.

The only controversy in this fight is whether or not Quarry was up at "10". I don't know, but I have little sympathy for any fighter who waits until the count reaches 9 1/2 to get up.
(And if Zack Clayton was "known" to be crooked I have even less sympathy for Quarry's foolishness.)

Whether Quarry was ahead on points, and by how far, is really beside the point and neither adds to nor lessens the controversy.

 

thats the great thing about prize fighting,1 good punch can change it all.doesn't matter in the end about the scoring at all,chuvalo took it out of the judges hands

i've heard boxer say crazier things then that,like joe frazier saying he won all 3 fights with ali,for christ sakes the 3rd fight was stopped from him taking to many ali right hands............

 

The rumblings around the ring after the fight that night, was that Jerry had
quite a few beers before the fight.

Not sure if anyone checked the bar tab at Patsy's.

 

Would Quarry be that stupid just before an important fight?

 

I think it's a possibility.
The Quarry clan were of the traditional "Fighting Irish" (-American) brand.
Drinking and fighting and fighting and drinking, in no particular order.

 

damn.....and the winner gets george foreman

He got up too late, simple as that.

 

and why do you think he got up late?nothing is quite that simple.

 

I never claimed to know why he didn't get up though. All I'm saying is that he didn't. You don't wait until the referee says "ten" to get up from the canvas. Simple.

 

Yes,,,,,,,Irish Jerry Quarry in New York, at Madison Square Garden, NYC, and Patsy's a big Irish bar right across the street.

What do you think he did each night, go to the hotel room and
watch Walter Cronkite.
