Two records for Young Joe Jeanette

Post by -KOKid- »

I've found two records that match Young (Joe) Jeanette.

Note that the first one has bouts in the US 1909-11, while the second one has bouts in London in 1912.
Regarding "the second Young Joe", Boxing (News) mentions him as being an American, as does British historian Miles Templeton.
Obviously he campaigned in Britain in 1912 (at least).

I suggest those two records be merged.

There must have been a whole lot of American fighters around at the time calling themselves Young Joe Jeanette (or Young Sam Langford or Young Jack Johnson for that matter), so combining the two record based on nationality and name alone is a bit of a stretch. Since Jeanette was patricularly well-known in Europe at the time, chances are that the U.S. fighter fought under that name in Europe alone.

That's well possible... I think I won't merge any records anymore, it's too uncertain... by the way, KOKid, why don't you just do it yourself if you are sure?!?
