A CNA says his opponent Jan. 25, 1929 was Charley Belanger, not this fellow:

Can anyone clarify?

I don't know what a CNA is, but Gains' autobiog "The Impossible Dream" has Belanger as his opponent for the Canadian Heavyweight Title on that date.

"CNA" is an abbreviation for "contemporary newspaper account/article." I've been researching microfilm of old newspapers at a couple of local libraries. I type that phrase so often here in this Forum that I think I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome (or however you spell that). It's like RRB (Ring Record Book) or EBR (Everlast Boxing Record). Who knows? It just might catch on. :razz:

P.S. Unless anyone disagrees, I'll make the change to Belanger. ric
