	"Jerry Quarry, 202, disdaining the shouted instructions of his handler, Gil Clancy, to "box him, Jerry, box him," instead elected to slug it out with the 210 lb. Earnie Shavers. A minute and a half into the round Quarry caught Shavers against the ropes and hit him eight or nine times, belting freely with lefts and rights to the head. Shavers escaped and fled to Quarry's corner where Jerry caught him with a tremendous left and dropped him with a following right. Shavers barely beat the count and Quarry immediately swarmed all over him. Referee Arthur Mercante called a halt at 2:21 of the 1st round." -United Press International		"Jerry Quarry, 202, disdaining the shouted instructions of his handler, Gil Clancy, to "box him, Jerry, box him," instead elected to slug it out with the 210 lb.
