    Something I haven't mentioned. There is a clock on the tape of the fight. Quarry goes down at 33:45. He gets to his feet at 33:57. I counted with the sound off, one coming at 33:46, and I reached ten (as Clayton did) at 33:56 with Quarry still on one knee. Any claims he beat the count are not accurate in my judgment.

    "Anyone who has Chuvalo winning has to go back to judging school."

    We all judge with our own eyes, and it is subjective. But someone who describes Ken Norton as "battered and clueless" against Quarry might just be living too much in a glass house to throw stones.

    I wouldn't go as far as to call it a fluke. It was pretty evenly matched, it could have ended up going either way but I definitely don't consider it a knock out

    IIRC at that time Quarry was quoted later on as saying he had not heard the count and thought he had more time before the count reached 10. Not the referee's fault as he was only doing his job and he did it properly.
