			* "If you stick your chin up in the air and say 'Come and hit it' - someone's gonna come along and hit it. The punch caught me leanin' backwards. I wasn't hurt, but the punch caught me doing the wrong thing at the wrong time." -Jerry Quarry

			* "Keep your hands up and keep your ass off the canvas!" -Gil Clancy, Quarry's trainer, between rounds one and two.

	From the youtube replay, what was almost the 'upset of the year' at the Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum occurred near the end of round one, when hard punching Joe Alexander slipped a Quarry left right and counterpunched with a picture perfect left hook that send Quarry to the canvas. Quarry beat the count, and appeared okay, and the round had already ended.

	This fight should be remembered in that it almost 'upset the apple cart' of the promoters as the bout was just supposed to be a tuneup for Quarry's fight with Joe Frazier the following month. The bout is a good lesson for all that you can 'never underestimate your opponent' and it certainly gave Jerry a taste of humility, but he showed great confidence in getting off the canvas and coming back to win.
