Dick Power not Dick Powell.

Post by basham »

The BoxRec record for Dick Powell is Fictitious, this boxer does not exist. The two bouts listed should be added to the record of Dick Power and the bout for 1929-04-02 was not in London but took place at The Pavilion Theatre ,Stow Hill,Newport,South Wales.Who on earth at BoxRec checked this record.
Ex. P.C. Dick Power from Risca was the Welsh Heavyweight Champion 1928-1932.
Are BoxRec going to make the amendments etc. to the Gipsy Billy Daniels,Shoeing Smith Fred Davies, and nowDick Power&George Modrich records.

I appreciate this is a large forum and do not wish to overload you with more results etc. but notice you have not made use of the ones I thought would have been of interest for Dick Power.

I was going to send a dozen or so results for Gipsy Billy Daniels to more or less complete his record, will these be of interest.
