Bobby Quarry

Bakersfield, CA, Heavyweight
dob: 20 Nov 1962

Managed by James Quarry

The 3 fighting Quarry brothers: Jerry, Mike, Bobby. Jerry had the power.
Mike had the finese. Bobby had neither, plus a lack of willingness to
train. It showed in his boxing career. Following each listed opponent is
their respective record going into the Quarry fight.

8/13/92 Jimmy Ellis: 17-1-1 Boise, ID --- TKOby2 *6

Career record: 9-12-2 (6)

*1. The ringside report indicated this oppoent was pulled out of the
audience and given a phony name to assure a Quarry win.
*2. The ringside report delclared the fight łcompletely void of fistic
skills.˛
*3. The ringside report called Quarry łpathetic.˛
*4. A respectable record for Hearns, BUT heąd had only 4 fights in the
previous 6 years.
*5. Also a respectable record for Gonzalez, BUT he was coming off a
2-year layoff and was 1-3 since returning to the ring.
*6. I saw this fight. It was dreadful. Quarry was horribly out of shape
and totally defenseless.

As pathetic as Bobby Quarry was, his KO over Dave Kilgour in Inglewood could
still make any KO Highlight film. BEAUTIFUL counter right! What they say
about blind chicken finding a worm now and then?

I saw this one on Prime Sports Network. This kid Kilgour was boxing
Bobby's ears off, till Bobby threw a counter right hand to the temple that
traveled about a foot. It knocked Kilgour stone cold unconscious, and I
never heard of him fighting again. FWIW.

That's the medias fault ;o)
actually he fought on until 95 and retired with a 11-5 record.

You guys can talk your trash all you want.yes I only had 8 amateur fights. Also I was completely blind in my right eye after my 12 fight with tillery. I trained myself and got my own fights. But you could use done better. You shouldn't talk shit unless you know the full circumstances.

I happened to catch the Bobby Quarry-Kilgour fight. That KO measures up to any I've seen before or since.

Perhaps "catching up" is more to the point as
you reply to a post that is 16y 7m 14d old?

PS. I agree in essence to what you said about
the Kongo fight tho in particular "taking
Foreman to school" is a phrasing a wouldn't
use. That is an old thread as well and the
guy you immediately cite has left
this world.

I used to post here regularly, but stopped about 15 years ago. I didn't even notice the dates. I guess nobody uses this anymore....
