Ali mauls Quarry
Professional League Standings
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (N-Mu-
hammad Ali completely out-
boxed Jerry Q u a r r y last
night and stopped him after
19 seconds of the seventh
round when referee Mike
Kaplan called a halt to their
scheduled 12-rounder at the
Las Vegas Convention Cen-
ter.
T h e bout followed the
scheduled 15-round light-
heavyweight championship
bout in which Bob Foster,
unleashing a devastating
left - right combination to
the ' w of young Mike Quar-
ry, Jerry's brother, retained
his title by knocking out the
No. 1 contender as the bell
sounded at the end of the
fourth round.
The end came with Jerry
Quarry on the ropes and Ali
hitting him at will.
From the fourth round on, the
big question seemed to be just
when the end would come.
The game 27-year-old Quarry,
from Cypress, Calif., had slug-
ged the ex-heavyweight cham-
pion with lefts and rights to the
body early in the fight but failed
to slow him.
Ali, 30, from Cherry Hill, N.J.,
began moving in after jabbing
in the fourth round and also
used frequent right uppercuts to
slow his charging foe.
By the fifth round, J e r r y
lacked steam in his punches
and, at times, Ali landed four
and five shots at a clip.
It was the same in the sixth,
with Quarry, the No. 2 challen-
ger behind Ali for Joe Frazier's
heavyweight crown, bruised un-
der both eyes, taking punches
and swinging wildly.
Ali, weighing 216/ to 198 for
his opponent, scored his third
victory of the year but his first
in which he stopped his foe. Un-
der Nevada rules, it was scored
as a technical knockout.
Ali collected $500,000 and
Quarry $200,000. The ex-cham-
pion also maintained his mo-
mentum toward a return bout
against Frazier, the only man to
beat him.
"I definitely could have gone
on," Jerry Quarry said after the
bout, "but it wouldn't do any
good. My brother's fight took it
all out of me."
The elder Quarry was never
knocked down in his fight. Ali's
record rose to 37-1 with his 28th
kayo. Jerry Quarry is 39-6 with
four draws,
After the heavyweight bout,
fights broke out among the
crowd, one of them involving
Mike Quarry. It took police sev-
eral minutes to halt the alterca-
tions.
Foster, 17312, from Albuquer-
que, N.M., has led through the
early rounds but the ending
came with a shock as he bomb-
ed out his foe and successfully
defended his crowd for the 10th
time in the scheduled 15-round
bout.
