Is this right? Date of birth doesn't match, etc. Are there two Mike DOnovans?

Good eye Ric. Indeed there are two, Professor Mike Donovan and Michael Joseph Donovan both fought at middle but did very well against the heavies. Am going to tackle that next.

Just looked at Mike Donovan (Professor) data base entries. Have two questionable bouts that could be worthy of inclusion. Cross-referenced against Jem Mace. 12-14-1896 at New York. May be at Unca? or Utica? Some sources show this as D4. My unconfirmed records show Ex3, with a line thru it, then Ex4 and a question mark. Second bout: 9-3-1897, Birmingham, England. I show Ex6, again question mark, some sources show D6. Should these be included, even if it requires the horrible footnote? Sorry, I can't give you something more definite.
