Kid Chocolate Record Correction

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 10 Mar 2002, 21:04

I am about to slightly alter the April 12, 1929 Kid Chocolate-Bushy Graham bout from a W-? (BoxRec did not record how long the bout lasted) to a WDQ-7 (15). This is according to a CNA -- oops! Mike made a good point that referring to a "contemporary newspaper account/article" is not precise enough in some circumstances. So, this is according to a next-day newspaper account (NDNA?), a day-after newspaper account (DANA?), the following day newspaper account (FDNA), whatever. (Wwhat do you guys prefer as an abbreviation. Suggestions? I get tired of typing out the whole phrase each time.)

Anyway, according to at least one newspaper account published the following day, this was the actual result. I am also about to add comments, based upon this article.

If anyone disagrees with what I've done to this bout, please speak up now or forever hold your peace. :razz:

What does "Semi-Professional Bout" mean?

The Cuban Boxing Commission was created around 1921; it created a system of "semi-professional" bouts tht definitely were NOT pro bouts -- the system allowed developing amateurs to appear on pro cards.

This system was eventually eliminated by the Cuban Boxing Commission.
