    Default Re: Mike Quarry ~ Forced To Fight On By Father ~ 'Road To Palookaville'

    Tuesday ~ March 12, 1974

    Mike Quarry

    Following the loss {L Dec 10} to Pierre Fourie in South Africa, Mike took his { $20,000 }
    Fight Purse and record of 41-5-3 to England.

    Mike took a 'flight' to London, United Kingdom to view the European Light-Heavyweight
    Championship between John Conteh vs. Tom Bogs.

    Fight Promoter - Harry Levene wanted to set up a bout between Mike and John Conteh
    for May 1974, if John defeated Bogs.

    Mike was a 'guest commentator' on the BBC Broadcast with Harry Carpenter.

    Mike stated that >

    He would fight Tom Bogs {who had defeated him earlier} if he won. But, that he doubted
    whether John Conteh would fight him.

    Mike Quarry >
    "John Conteh likes to play it safe. He won't take a risk fighting me in a 10-Rounder. I'm too
    fast for him. He wants to protect his #2 WBA / #2 WBC ranking."

    "As for {Tom} Bogs, he just edged me in Denmark last year {May 10, 1973}. He got a lucky
    'home town' Decision. It should have been a Draw. Really, it was a Draw."
