The story of boxing legend Jerry Quarry has it all: rags to riches,
thrilling fights against the giants of the Golden Age of
Heavyweights (Ali—twice, Frazier—twice, Patterson, Norton), a
racially and politically electric sports era, the thrills and
excesses of fame, celebrities, love, hate, joy, and pain. And
tragedy.Like the man he fought during two highly controversial
fight cards in 1970 and ’72—Muhammad Ali—boxing great Jerry
Quarry was to suffer gravely. He died at age fifty-three, mind and
body ravaged by Dementia Pugilistica.In Hard Luck, “Irish”
Jerry Quarry comes to life—from his Grapes of Wrath days as the
child of an abusive father in the California migrant camps to those
as the undersized heavyweight slaying giants on his way to multiple
title bouts and the honor of being the World’s Most Popular
Fighter in ’68, ’69, ’70, and ’71. The story of Jerry
Quarry is one of the richest in the annals of boxing, and through
painstaking research and exclusive access to the Quarry family and
its archives, Steve Springer and Blake Chavez have captured it all.
