Broncano, on the Honeyghan-Vaca fight you entered, 10/28/87, you show the ref as Hank Elespuru, I show Larry O'Connell. I would expect the BBB of C would use at least one British official, and I also show Elespuru as working 12 days prior on 10/16/87 in Sydney on the Jeff Fenech fight. I left it for your decision.

Medic, sorry I missed this..

Bob Yalen has been keeping detailed records of all title fights since at least 1985 -- check back of Ring Record Book for that year. Can't recall if he started earlier.
Fight Fax publishes his yearly compilation in their book. IBRO members usually get a copy also, through the IBRO Journal.
I wold think that Bob's list is as good as any source since he compiles from official records only. And, to tell you the truth -- I ahve yet to find an error in his work.
His list compiles detailed info on each fight -- refs/judges etc. He also includes the scoring of a bout by round/judge up to the time of kayo.
An absolutely invaluable, well-done research document that seems never to get mentioned, but is one of the longest-running, important pieces of boxing research over the past 2 decades.
