"Mike Quarry never attended college, but he was prepared for the lesson schoolteacher Tommy Hicks wanted to give him. Quarry, the world's No. 2 light heavyweight, hammered out a one-sided unanimous 10 round decision at MSG Friday night. Quarry deftly avoided his opponent's rushes and methodically beat him to the punch. The 21 year old kept Hicks off balance with a peppery left jab and closed his right eye in the 9th round and opened a small cut on his foe's left eyebrow in the 5th." -Associated Press
