"The Southland's tarnished heavyweight golden boy, Jerry Quarry, started to redeem himself after his July setback with Eddie Machen by staging total carnage in a lopsided decision over Nebraska heavyweight champ Bill Nielsen at the Olympic Auditorium Thursday night. Quarry, at 192, looked better as a boxer and ring tactician than he has in his two-year career. But it must be admitted that the 203 pound Nielsen was little more than a punching bag for Quarry. A mighty durable punching bag, though, as Nielsen thrilled a crowd of 4,600 by taking Jerry's best punches to the jaw, going out on his feet and coming back for more punishment. Quarry had on display a brand new rapid-fire snappy left jab some observers felt might have beaten Machen." -Long Beach Press-Telegram
