Have you come across a tale of the tape for any of these fights? It's hard to judge a fighter's correct height only by how tall he appears on screen.

Thanks for updating all the info I put in here. X Now, two more "traces" for the original question in the topic. I'm watching the rematch between the two and I noticed that French TV (Canal+) gave an undefeated 17-0 record for Guertos in the introductions: https://i.ibb.co/7rX8gmc/vlcsnap...

I found one record book that counts KO 2 of Andre Sproul as a title fight, others don't. Boxrec doesn't even record this as a fight. Johnson did knock out Andre Spoul on November 28, 1913, but it was in a wrestling match. Some sources seem to think that wrestler Spoul fought Johnson in a boxing bou...

Do you have a link to the video? I think it may have been a case where the announcer made a mistake.

The tale of the tape prior to him winning the EBU title in Dec. 1967, lists him as having a reach of 177 cm. I have changed it to that.

There was a note underneath the fight in our database that Britos was announced as Arvizu. It likely was Arvizu, however. I have come across a couple of pictures of (an older) Britos and Rodrigues's opponent does not look like him. A glimpse of Arvizu can be seen in a photo of Henry Maske's debut fi...

Prime Tyson would definitely last a bit longer. The size difference would be too big however and McBride would likely win by a late stoppage.

Thanks for the update. The info has been added (but I'm not sure how much of it is visible to the general public).

The 1940 U.S. Census reports have been released. Tobin Liston and his family come into view on a rented farm in backwater Smith Township on April 23rd of that year. They moved there from backwater Johnson Township sometime between 1930 and 1934. Tobin was sixty-seven and working on the farm sixty h...

Like me, Petu is an editor of the database: we do historical research and add and correct fights. Neither of us has anything to do with the technical aspects of the site.

But his third fight a month later was 6x3?

Yes it was. You can see it as the equivalent of going from 4-rounders to 6-rounders.

Agree about Tyson and Holyfield, Bowe was just too hittable.

Tyson vs. Spinks. It should have been Tyson vs. Holmes, but they delayed the broadcast until the Australian Open women's final was over.

Was RJJ/Griffith I really close? Yes it was, many had Griffith ahead on points. I see that I went along with Griffith here, the correct name is of course Griffin. What made it close was that Jones was credited with a knockdown in an earlier round that was really a slip. Otherwise Griffin seemed to ...

Dokes vs. Holyfield deserves a mention too.

Orlin Norris vs. Arthur Williams
