I wish there is a film of Jerry Quarry's fight against Buster Mathis Sr. and he was one of the great contenders in the 1960s and 1970s.

could you please post the links to those two fights before we proceed on ?
thank you.
BTW This video has a pre-fight interview with both Jerry Quarry and Jimmy Ellis that the previous footage didn't have ,so I posted it here for all the Jerry Quarry compleatist.
( I'm not Desmond Morris but from the looks of it (Body Language),it appears that Jerry Quarry in the interview may have been having some problems from somewhere going into the fight)

Almost all of Quarry's fights were televised or filmed. From his earliest pro bouts all the way until the end of his career.

You guys think Jerry deserved the nod in the Ellis fight? Looked like he might have from what

I just watched. I read Jerry got a close decision in London against Larry Middleton. I'd love to see footage of Quarry-Middleton.

What close decisions did Jerry deserve? What close decisions get Jerry get?

I thought it was close and could have gone either way. Horrible fight though, unlike most of Jerrys fights.
