(Matt) - DES REA record

Post by phil »

Hi Matt.
Currently in the process of completing/amending British Champions back to 1960.

I've altered a result in Des Rea's record.

His bout against Les Pearson was actually WILLIE REA . RR book is incorrect.

RR book also has Des Rea fighting Bobby Fisher but there is no record of this in British Boxing Yearbook or Boxing News Annual 1971 for either Fisher or (either!) Rea.

Thanks, I was using the RRB. I have tried to use a British Boxing Yearbook for name/TKO's, but I must have not done it for Rea.

The Des Rea-Bobby Fisher contest was a chess match eliminator. The winner (Fisher) took on the Russian Boris Spassky.
