Vegas Oddsmakers Favor Quarry Over Ellis in Heavyweight Title Bout
Las Vegas bookmakers rate Jerry Quarry a 2-to-3 favorite to beat Jimmy Ellis in Oakland for the World Boxing Association heavyweight title. Quarry advanced by decisions over Floyd Patterson and a knockout of Thad Spencer in eight rounds, while Ellis defeated Lewis Marlin and decked Oscar Bonavena twice in stoppages. Supporters cite Quarry’s left hook and power, though Ellis counters with a strong punch.
