GEORGE CHUVALO vs. JERRY QUARRY [Dec.12th.1969] (HIGHLIGHTS)

Jerry Quarry 202 lbs lost to George Chuvalo 217 lbs by KO at 2:59 in round 7 of 10
Date: 1969-12-12
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York, USA
Referee: Zach Clayton
Judge: Tony Castellano
Judge: Bill Recht
Bout Summary
Quarry used quick combinations and movement to keep Chuvalo off balance. Chuvalo came forward, exhibited a good jab, and had his moments when he got on the inside with Quarry. Chuvalo's right eye began to swell in round 5, which became a grotesque lump by the time the fight was over. As round 7 was coming to a close, Quarry was knocked down by a left hook on the top of the head. He rose at the count of three, but decided to take a knee, he got up at the count of ten instead of nine and referee Zach Clayton declared the fight over at 2:59.
Scoring at the time of stoppage 4-1-1 (Quarry), 4-1-1 (Quarry), 3-3 even.
The winner of this bout was tentatively scheduled to fight Leotis Martin - who had KO'd Sonny Liston the previous week - next. However, it was learned just prior to this bout that Martin was to undergo eye surgery. The extent of the injury (detached retina) was not yet known and Martin never fought again.
A rematch was signed to take place on the undercard to the Joe Frazier vs. Jimmy Ellis unification match on February 16th in MSG. However, Chuvalo had to pull out on medical advice that his badly damaged eye sustained in this bout required more time to heal.

Quarry put his foot down on the canvas on his ancle, and I’ve done that very recently and it hurts and you fall. But the guy talking to Chuvalo at the end was being mildly aggressive and he needed to show some respect.

What a fight, two gladiators of that era

Great highlight video crazy how quarry was about 40 fights and 23/24 years old, Chuvalo wasn’t just iron chinned he could punch to his body shots in this bout was great!
