Re: Artie Powell + Jim Powell

ANTON, I thought that I'd just send the article relating to one of the fights that is already listed before sending off everything.

The fight is Artie Powell v Percy Young 23 April 1915. Should the article be enough proof to have the result changed correctly, I'll start on the rest of them.

Thanks

Re: Artie Powell + Jim Powell

Would original articles from The Sydney Morning Herald be acceptable? I have copied them onto sites such as Photobucket, the articles clearly indicating Artie Powell's record of being at least 12-4, not the 3-6 as seen on this site. I would be prepared to make it as easy as possible for those that ...

Re: Artie Powell + Jim Powell

Very disappointing that nothing has been done.

Artie Powell fought in one of the greatest eras of Australian boxing yet his record is shamefully incorrect.

Could someone please do the right thing and make an effort to have it fixed.

Artie Powell fought against Australian champions Herb McCoy and Tommy Uren but they weren't title fights. I can refer to a site that verifies Artie Powells winning record.

Mark Grappling which I think used to be an Olympic sport is a show of strenghth between two people.

Monty Betham Jr could follow in Mundine's footsteps and become an ex rugby league - boxing champion. I know that's a huge call but like Choc his father was a very smart fighter and actually fought Tony towards the end of their careers. Looking at Monty Betham Snr's record I noticed that he won the C...

Actually, yeah it probably is worth less seeing as Calzaghe is the current WBA SMW champion. How does that work? Wouldn't you expect the Super Champion's opponents to be a few levels higher? You can't have it both ways. Anyway I was referring to the IBF champ Lucian Bute not Calzaghe when asking if...

Wait a sec. I know I'm only a Canuck, but you include Kostya Tszyu, a Russian, but don't want to include Bob Fitzsimmons and Peter Jackson who both learned their craft and fought their first pro fights in OZ? Tres bizarre. During their early days they were both considered Aussies, and I believe Jac...

If he wasn't ready for it he shouldn't have turned pro. You are basically saying that Mundines fights are glorified sparring sessions that he charges $50 for people to watch. You still didn't answer my question, do you think they are legit fights? Also, stop acting like the WBA is the only belt in ...

the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard

BTW Marlin, I was reading on another post you asked about the situation with the WBA's regular champion and do they have mandatories. The answer is NO but the Super Champion (Calzaghe) is meant to fight the regular champion within 21 months. Because Joe only recently won that title off Kessler he wo...

Mundine still picks who he fights. For further proof you just have to look at his undercards to see what his team considers good matchmaking... What's his undercard got to do with it?

the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard

The point I was making is that compared to the champions and top contenders in the super middleweight division he is still relatively inexperienced.

Mundine/Hamdan undercard

After this fight Choc needs to starts fighting abroad.

Does anyone know if he'll have problems getting fights in the US because of his comments relating to 9/11. I hope not because against some topline fighters he'd give them value for money.
