The editing is atrocious. Quarry went down, got up, and then decided to go down again, on one knee, to take as long a rest as possible. However, he misjudged the count and lost by knockout, even though he was perfectly fit to continue; why he went down again after rising is something we shall never know. The only way George could ever really have bested Jerry is a stoppage on cuts, but the record books will always show a ko victory for Chuvalo, no matter how bizarre the ending.

A bizarrre ending to an entertaining boxing match between two talented and tough heavyweight contenders. A shame!!!!

The fight wasn't stopped. It wasn't a TKO. The way the video is edited, you can't tell but what happened was that Quarry was way ahead on points when Chuvalo knocked him down late in the fight. Quarry appeared to be resting and somehow it looked like he lost track of the refs count and was counted out before getting up. One of the weirdest things I ever saw in a fight.

Chuvalo was one of the toughest fighters of his era.

Editing sucked

Technically it was a KO but in reality it shouldnt have been. Quarry was winning the fight when Chuvalo landed a good punch and Jerry went to the canvas. Jerry appeared fine but misjudged or misheard the refs count because of the noise in MSG and got up at 10 instead of 8 or 9. I am surprised the 2 never had a rematch to settle things given how their fight ended

It was a Chuvalo left hook, probably the best he threw in his career, that caught Quarry on the right temple, not his jaw, that put him down. So true, Jerry got up and then down and watched the clock to ride out the round. Zack Clayton counted Jerry out at 2:59 of Rd. 7. Jerry jumped up and protested but the referee was justifiably adamant in ending the fight. Chuvalo took terrible punishment and never considered the victory worthy of notice.

Looked a premature stoppage

Figth never should have been stopped, but boxing is pretty shady at times.

That was not a stoppage.

Little delayed
