November 22, 1986: Jerry Quarry replaces Trevor Berbick vs Young Tyson. Does the same thing happen?

The underlined is not supported by the score cards.
After a hectic first round Thomas went into jab and grab mode, he wasn't winning the fight.

• Judge: Dalby Shirley 49-46

• Judge: Gordon Volkman 50-44

• Judge: Harry Gibbs 49-46

"Against Thomas, Tyson came out with a bombs-away fight plan that nearly made an early evening of it.

He hurt Thomas and bloodied him with devastating lefts and rights, and seemed on the verge of finishing the former W.B.C. champion. But Thomas - who, as Tyson said afterward, took "a great shot" - survived the round and, rather than trade punches with Tyson, went to Plan B. That was a more conservative approach, and Thomas had his moments with it, using a heavy-handed jab to keep Tyson offstride and then tying him up when the Catskill, N.Y., slugger moved in. At times, he met the oncoming Tyson with short right hands. Mostly, though, he confounded Tyson by frequent clinches. When Tyson couldn't find a way to stop the clinches, the crowd of 12,706 booed on more than one occasion.

Before the sixth round, Thomas had to change the glove of his left hand when, he said, the attached thumb on the glove began to come apart.

"The feeling of the new glove was awkward," Thomas said. "What blew my mind was that glove. I thought I had a roll going with Mike."

Tyson admitted he was not entirely satisfied with his performance.

"The fight didn't go my way," Tyson said. "I can't make excuses. It was almost two bum fights in a row, which is no good financially."

But the champion said he thought eventually he would get to Thomas.

"I knew it was not going to last," Tyson said. "He didn't have anything for me."

 

Well if hes landing jabs and tyson is landing almost nothing then thomas is winning the rounds. Tyson was initiating the clinches alot of the time. Thomas was landing on tyson on the way in and then tyson would languish on the inside, they would get seperated and tyson would again absorb the jab or 1-2 on his way in.
I watched the fight again a week ago and was surprised at how bad tyson looked after the first round all the way until the sixth

 

You said Thomas won the 2nd 3rd ,4th, 5th rds Yes?

So the judges scored it wrong,is that what you are saying?

 

I guess so.

 

You sayThomas won every round after the 1st until he was ko'd in the 6th, so that's what you are stating. The judges disagreed with you,and so do I.

 

Which round did you have tyson winning? Imo the only one that was close was the 2nd. Thomas had tyson completely under control in rounds 3 4 and 5.

No. He never won a tough fight. He gave up against Holy 2, McBride and Danny. Fact. Your hero was soooo tough only in your mind. And the thing is, YOU YOURSELF, knows Mike was a frontrunner and it bothers you to no end. Quarry fought by far the more taxing opponants and fought to the end. Tyson gets his ass kicked by Buster and hides behind King's skirttails and claims he should be given his title back . Joker. Quarry~man. Tyson~frontrunning ***boy

 

Your concept of bigger is better is stupid. I guess Tyson gets wiped out by Lewis Wlad Vitali Ortiz Wilder Joshua Valuev etc. Quarry beat 220 pound puncher boxer Ron Lyle in Lyles Prime after Jerrys prime. Look at Jerrys record Tyson never . Had half the heart of Quarry and since when does as Ty as on ko good opponants in 1 or 2? He didn't in real life.

 

oh, I'm going there ! Got one for you. TYSON of the Berbick fight vs. himself of the Spinks fight, which I know you think highly of. What happens in that scenario?

 

Btw 95% of Tyson challengers were Holmes era retreads. Take the rosecolored glasses off man. Jake would be very disappointed
