Robert Neil Quarry (born November 20, 1962), known as Bobby Quarry, is a former boxer and the youngest brother of James, Jerry and Mike Quarry.
Bobby Quarry was born in Lynwood, California, 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 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.[1] 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 [2] In contrast to his brothers, Bobby did not enjoy much success in the ring - his career professional boxing record was 10-12-2. He won only one of his last nine bouts, a televised victory over Dave Kilgour. The win was a poorly engineered TV mismatch with Quarry weighing 222 1/2 and Kilgour 194. Kilgour would be, in fact a cruiserweight, a lower division, in modern boxing, but at the time, boxers that weighted over 190 pounds were considered Heavyweights. After consecutive knockout losses to David Dixon, Rocky Pepeli, the loss to future world champion Tommy Morrison (on ESPN in Las Vegas), and Jimmy Ellis Jr., Bobby was retired due to his deteriorating state at age 29.
Quarry later returned to school with the goal of becoming a sports reporter, and had a brief television career as a sports commentator and reporter. He subsequently did time at Folsom Prison for grand theft for possession of stolen property, from which he had to be released on furlough to attend his brother Mike Quarry's funeral where he is seen in the local paper with 5-year-old son Sam Quarry.
