Joe Frazier vs Jerry Quarry I 1969 - A Ringside Witness

Frazier-Quarry I is a personal favorite of mine. It was a classic encounter, with Jerry and Joe at their physical peaks, held in Madison Square Garden with the great Arthur Mercante as referee. Back in 1999 when I was working with James Quarry on the Jerry Quarry website, James gave me a recording of a radio interview he did where he talked about the foundation and Jerry’s career. I put this video together with is his ringside account of the fight.
