Paddy Kelly 76796 and John Garrett 30624

[RocDel]

I was looking through the recorded fights of Paddy Kelly in 1959 issues of the Boxing News and in the Oct 9th, 1959 issue it recounts the fight between Paddy Kelly and John Garrett at Kings Hall, Belfast, NI on October 3rd. The fight that is currently shown in the database for these two fighters for October 1st, 1959 at Wembley Town Hall, Wembley, I believe is a duplication in error of the Belfast fight on Oct 3rd. I think the mistake got made because the actual column in the paper recounting the Oct 3rd fight falls under the column written about the fights at Wembley.

So that would change Kelly's record to W25(KO 15) + L12(KO 10) + Draw 1 and Garrett's change to W4(KO 1) + L6(KO 2)


thank you,

Another note about John Garrett. Researching through the Boxing News on his fights, two accounts in the News, March 11, 1960 for his Henry Yorke fight and Feb. 16th 1962 for his George Hand fight he's refered to as a lefthander. So good possibility Garrett was a southpaw fighter?
