Jackie Burke vs. Johnny Devison fight of October 30, 1964

Post by Reenthelawman »

Dear Editors,

The Jackie Burke vs. Johnny Devison fight of October 30, 1964 should be tagged in the database as being for the Vacant Canadian Bantamweight Title.

According to the Canadian Press report dated November 1, 1964 (as published in the New York Times' November 2, 1964 edition), "Combining youth with speed, 22 year-old Jackie Burke of Saint-John, N.B., won the Canadian bantamweight title last night by taking a majority decision over the former titleholder Johnny Devison, of Glace Bay, N.S. Burke weighed 117 pounds, Devison 118".

Thank you for correcting the database accordingly.

Thank you Sir!

May I now consider myself officially a boxing historian?

Dear Editors,

Could you please also correct the database to indicate that the result was an "MD12" instead of a "PTS12".

Thank you,
