Re: British Mandate Palestine, Israel, Egypt - old missing fights

Thanks for the info, the fights have been updated. For historical results, we use the current country. So you'll see pre-1948 fights listed under Israel.

If I remember correctly, there were two rounds after which Ferguson was looking to quit but was talked into continuing by his corner. It was widely publicized after the fight that Mercer had tried to bribe Ferguson, to save his match with Riddick Bowe.
