Jerry Quarry 204 lbs beat Bob Mumford 195 lbs by TKO at 1:15 in round 5 of 10
- Date: 1968-11-11
- Location: Phoenix Forum, Phoenix, Arizona, USA
- Referee: Roger Yanez
"Jerry Quarry decked Bob 'Bull' Mumford in the 1st round and then scored a TKO in the 5th round of their scheduled 10 rounder Monday night. Quarry, seemingly recovered from a back injury he suffered in training for his unsuccessful title bid against Jimmy Ellis, uncorked heavy shots to his opponent's granite jaw almost from the opening bell. Mumford hit the canvas for the mandatory eight count in the opening round. He admitted later that he was groggy afterward. Referee Roger Yanez stopped the bout at 1:15 of the 5th when Quarry drove Mumford into a corner and was hammering him with lefts and rights. Mumford, however, blocked several of the punches and bitterly protested the referee's decision." -Associated Press
