Mistakes in record!

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 15 Feb 2002, 13:12

I noticed there were a couple of errors from the Irvine Marriot fight card that was held yesterday night. I was at those fights and I can tell you that Ola Afolabi and Wolf Barber fought to a DRAW, not a MD for Wolf as recorded. Also, in that wild light heavyweight fight, McNeil KO'd Dimitrique Edwards in the 1st round, not the 3rd. Also, McNeil's name is TERAY McNeil, not Terry. Please note these corrections.

BTW, GREAT site you've got...better than those other penny-pinching sites that won't let you look at records unless you dish out the cash.

Wow, you guys are quick. Thanks for making the corrections so diligently.

P.S. Not to nitpick, but on that same fight card, you made another error. Mike Chavez beat Juan Gil (spelled with one "L") by MAJORITY decision, not unanimous.

You guys need to keep up with fight facts. Putting a catch-all disclaimer doesn't mean you are exempt from being accurate. You have many notable inaccuracies.

We are only human, we make no claims that this site is 100% accurate, but we are working hard to make it the most accurate and best resource for boxing records on the web!

Kevin, don't know what Anonymous meant by many(?)notable inaccuracies. Of course if you consider less 1 per thousand errors many, then he's probably correct. Cross-referencing has included bouts that previously weren't included in both boxers records. To me, that is a significant improvement. The editors do make corrections, after verification. Maybe, Anonymous should submit his many notable corrections to you people so you can clarify or correct. I submit anything that looks unusual to me. It takes a good contibuting team that is dedicated and passionate to make a site like this work. They are open-minded to outside input.

The Korean WBC jr. fly champ's name is YoSam Choi, not Yeo-Sam Choi. Not a big deal... just noting a correction. Thanks.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 27 Feb 2002, 03:33

Wow, I'm impressed with how quickly you guys read our comments and make the necessary corrections. Kudos!

Steve Vukosa (he's incorrectly entered as "Stevie" Vukosa) is just missing one bout in his record and I know what it is... because I was there.

It happened on September 27, 2001 in Inglewood, CA (Hollywood Park Casino) against Tony Cox. Vukosa won a UD in 4 rounds.

Cox's record was 2-0 entering the bout and Vukosa's record was also 2-0 entering that bout.

I haven't seen any "notable inaccuracies" listed yet by our anonymous critic. Since there are "many" according to him, could he please list them so we can check them. Could he also identify himself so we can know when this list appears and who to refer to when and if we have answers or corrections.

Assuming all of these inputs are from the same Anonymous. The party stated they were impressed. What may be "noteable" and "many" to one person may just be minor and picky to another. I believe Anonymous should come up with his (or her) own call sign, as Colin suggested. Your always going to have bad-mouth comments. I've lived 92 years and never seen the likes of what this site is doing. Encouraging public participation through this forum and your responses are exciting. Outsider devil's advocates keep everyone on their toes. One minor suggestion. After input has been accepted and adjusted you may want to make a brief responsive comment to the inquiry. Like "change made" or "completed". It would show your rapidity in response time.

Entered the Steve Vukosa-Tony Cox bout, verified by the Boxing Wise results. Thanks, anonymous.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 27 Feb 2002, 14:36

Guys, not all the "Anonymous" posts are mine. I started this thread and posted the first two comments, then the YoSam Choi one is mine, then the "impressed" comment is mine, and that last Steve Vukosa comment was mine as well. I can't take credit for the rest. I'll try to register a username when I get a chance since this does get confusing. And I've been nothing but happy with how quickly the editors of this site respond to our inquiries.

OK, nevermind. Registering actually takes like 10 seconds. LOL. Didn't realize it was this easy. Now you know who I am, guys.

mistake on sammy secreet record lost a ten round decsion to lee sala. you have it posted as a 1st round knockout. also beat wille joyce recoerd not shown

robin · Post by **robin** » 27 Feb 2002, 18:16

The record of Sammy Secreet is far from complete and is made up by entering the bouts of the other boxers. There does appear to be a Willie Joyce bout missing though. I don't have the information on Lee Sala.

delisa · Post by **delisa** » 28 Feb 2002, 13:14

I have a complete, verified record for Secreet. If somneone wants to volunteer to input it let me know and I will email.

Funny thing -- I don't have the Sala fight, and neither do any of the researchers who worked on the record.

Hello Mike, send it to me and we can lock it up.

I need your email -- write me at [email protected]

robin · Post by **robin** » 28 Feb 2002, 23:27

Entered the Secreet record, no confirmation on the Lee Sala bout.

Hey everyone. You realize "anonymous" probably found a particular mistake that, for some reason, really agrivated him/her. Maybe in their disappointment, they overexaderated. Chances are, they'll never post their identity. I love what this website is doing and I see a comment like that as motivation. If and when something seems inaccurate, I'd be willing to check it out and bring it to attention. If we all do the same, our collective resources will weed-out any errors. Let's address the complaint, not attack the complainer. -a frequent,but often quiet fan.

I agree with what that last "Anonymous" said.

I'll do my part:

On the Telefutura card in Carolina, Puerto Rico (the Cotto card), one fight is ommitted from the results. Super featherweight Daniel Jimenez won a UD in 6 rounds against Jose Laureano. It was a televised bout that the websites seem to be neglecting to mention.

I entered the Sala-Secreet bout a while back. It's listed under Sala's record in the 1951 and 1954 RRB, but I looked through January thru June 1950 Ring Magazines and there is no mention of the bout in any of the results, unless I overlooked it.

Thanks for entering this result so quickly. but you guys gave the credit to the wrong "Daniel Jimenez". The Daniel Jimenez who won was from the Dominican Republic, not Puerto Rico. And his record coming into the bout was 2-1-1, not that lengthy record the one you gave credit to.
