Bobby Quarry

Who is Bobby Quarry?

Robert Neil Quarry is the youngest brother of Jerry and Mike Quarry.

Bobby Quarry was born in Lynwood, California on November 11, 1962, and is the last surviving brother of the four Quarry brothers, three of whom were noted boxers.

He began boxing professionally in 1982. Bobby Quarry's biggest bout was in the early 1990s, when he faced Tommy Morrison in a Las Vegas match that was televised on ESPN. Quarry was cut on the chin and knocked out by a Morrison right hand at 1:34 of the second round, the count reaching three with Quarry on his back before referee Richard Steele called a halt to the contest. Bobby had hoped to upset Morrison, as the fight was Morrison's first comeback bout after getting knocked out by WBO heavyweight champion Ray Mercer less than four months earlier. Bobby carelessly dropped his guard, and Morrison took advantage and knocked him out with a free head shot.

Unfortunately, like his brothers, Bobby suffers from Parkinson's disease, caused by an accumulation of punches to the head, side effects of which were evident in Bobby by age 32. In contrast to his brothers, Bobby did not enjoy much success in the ring.
