Career
Robert Neil Quarry (Bobby) is the youngest brother of Jerry and Mike Quarry. 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 Entertainment and Sports Programming Network. 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 carelessly dropped his guard, and Morrison took advantage and knocked him out with a free head shot.
His career professional boxing record was a mediocre 9-12-2. 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.
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. As Bobby was the least popular of the fighting Quarry brothers, not many of his professional bouts were either seen by the general public or even filmed.
