Floyd Patterson vs Jerry Quarry 

Jerry Quarry vs Ron Lyle 

Two years after Muhammad Ali stopped him on cuts, Jerry Quarry gets another shot at the former Heavyweight Champion. Once again, Ali dominates but doesn't need a cut to stop Quarry the second time around. After trading taunts through the second round, Ali takes over and hammers Quarry into submission. At Ali's suggestion to spare Quarry a further beating, Referee Mike Kaplan calls a halt to the one-sided drubbing just seconds into round seven. After the bout, Ali gets into a shouting match with fellow contender George Foreman at ringside.

Ali quickly returns to form, opening Quarry up with a cut over the left eye in the third round. Deciding the cut is too bad to continue, Quarry's corner stops the fight before the fourth round.
