Bob Foster -vs- Mike Quarry 6/27/72 part 1

[@MrMenefrego1]

That was the great Jack Palance, a former boxer himself, announcing this fight! Nice to see one of the great Quarry Brothers here!

[@leeinoregon1326]

Thanks, I was wondering. He sounds alot like Regis Philbin.

[@uncjim]

Billed as the Quarry Brothers vs The Soul Brothers. This was the undercard to Ali vs Jerry Quarry II.

[@Alexthegreat27]

Soul Brothers were #1 that night. lol

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

The Quarry brothers were tough as nails. And Bob Foster was a beast!

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

That's Mel Allen and Regis Philbin calling this fight! How about that!

The Quarry’s weren’t big on avoiding punches. In that house when they worked on defense it meant eating punches.

[@fcthompson1]

I watched the entire fight in 1972 when I was in the Navy. Weaver was dodging Fosters shots pretty well, until...the big one hit.

[@davesmith6624]

The Quarry Brothers were great at leading with their faces

bob foster great light heavyweight but Sucked as a heavyweight.

[@peacefulbliss1]

Mike Quarry was a decent boxer but no punch was his handicap.

[@MrMarco855]

At the very end of round one they were in a clinch. Just before the bell, foster gave quarry a little love tap in the form of a sharp uppercut. That punch was effortless by foster; his body didn't move an inch when he threw that uppercut. He was just toying with quarry I believe, but it snapped quarry's head back for sure. Right after the punch foster looked at quarry and nodded, a little message in there somewhere. Quarry was a good fighter, and on this night he was full of spunk. He was bouncing around, shooting jabs under foster's guard and he even did a bit of a shuffle. I hate to say, quarry chose a bad night to act up a little. Foster can punch like nobodies business. I saw he was rated very high by a boxing magazine for the hardest punchers of all time. It's a bit strange, foster looks too thin to have that kind of power but coordination, wing span and snap in the wrist are the key factors. Ask quarry,..........he'll tell you.
