Al Migliorato, missing 1982 Fight

[DavidEpstein]

I did a google search on heavyweight Al Migliorato. I came across an article entitled: A BLACK EYE FOR BOXING by Bob Chick, Sports Editor of the EVENING INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER. The article lists a fight on October 26, 1982 at the Bayfront Concourse Ballroom in Orlando, Florida. The charity card was promoted by a Ted Murray. Migliorato overcame a standing 8-count in the 2nd round to knockout Tommy Bonds in 5 rounds. The referee was Tony Mellott and only 112 people attended.

Here's my take on it.
No record of Tommy Bonds.
No record of Mellott being a professional referee.
Last known fight for Migliorato was in 1980.
No record books list it.
No commission.
At best it was an exhibition; at worst a scam.
