Jerry Quarry vs Jimmy Young

[OctoberRed]

I believe Quarry wins this one by disqualification! Though in Young's behalf, you will not see a finer set of man boobs box half so well. He rubbed them on Jerry one too many times for a referee who was probably the grand wizard of Alabama.

A DQ pick? Now that is quite bold.

[The Old LefHook]

A lot of techniques work against men the same size which might be no good on men much larger. How would Young handle today's behemoths?

Do what Evander did with Valuev, stay close, keeping swinging away to chop down some wood.

Both at their best Young outboxes Quarry for the decision win.

[The Old LefHook]

As long as he can beat Firpo, folks must figure Young is the best heavy to never win a world title.

But what if it had been Young instead of Ali that night in Zaire facing Foreman? Could Jimmy have prevailed against a Foreman whose spirit was still intact, or would a mentally healthy version of George have mopped the floor with him?

These two great fighters give me troubles.

I’m not an old man yet, but nearing.
I’ve had great middle age years … something Quarry and Young weren’t allowed to.

This week, a British study shows that also a single concussion vastly increases the risk of
dementia.
We don’t give it much thoughts when we’re younger.
But later … when dementia might be lurking around the corner … you think about the fighters who paid a high price and start questioning boxing as a sport …

I heard Alex Ramos is starting to suffer from early dementia, and he's not that old.

I heard Alex Ramos is starting to suffer from early dementia, and he's not that old.

Wiki: “Ramos began working in the sport of boxing doing other things inside the sport. In 1998, he established the Retired Boxers Foundation whose mission is to assist retired professional boxers in the transition from their glorious days in the ring to a dignified retirement.”

I remember a TV-team visiting the place. They marked a straight line on the ground for Ramos to walk on, but he couldn’t keep his balance.
Though, both Ramos and Bobby Chacon who was also there, were in a good mood, laughing and joking.

He's not doing that well and had a falling out with a lot of guys in the RBF.

The TV-program I referred to, I watched some 15-20 years ago. Back then, Ramos already admitted his career as a boxer had damaged him. So I believe, the years rolling by hasn’t been to his advantage.

Watched this interview with nice guy Gerry Cooney. He says he noticed difficulties with his memory.
Boxing takes a heavy toll.
