Career record: 9-12-2 (6)
*1. The ringside report indicated this oppoent was pulled out of the
audience and given a phony name to assure a Quarry win.
*2. The ringside report delclared the fight łcompletely void of fistic
skills.˛
*3. The ringside report called Quarry łpathetic.˛
*4. A respectable record for Hearns, BUT heąd had only 4 fights in the
previous 6 years.
*5. Also a respectable record for Gonzalez, BUT he was coming off a
2-year layoff and was 1-3 since returning to the ring.
*6. I saw this fight. It was dreadful. Quarry was horribly out of shape
and totally defenseless.

I happened to catch the Bobby Quarry-Kilgour fight. That KO measures up to any I've seen before or since.
