I RECIEVED THE NEWS ARTICLES FROM AN HISTORIAN FROM THE TONAWANDA,NIAGRA FALLS AREA.HE DID MENTION THAT WHEN HE GOT A CHANCE HE WOULD CHECK DIFF. ARCHIVES IN BUFFALO.HE MADE REFERENCE THAT KID POST POSSIBLY BELONGED TO THE ELDREDGE B.C. THE FIRST OF TWO BOUTS WAS STAGED THERE AGAINST "LOCKPORT"JIMMY DUFFY.THE SECOND FIGHT WAS AT THE CRESCENT A.C.IN BUFFALO,WHERE DUFFY WAS FROM...AFTER REVIEWING DUFFY'S RECORD IN BOXREC,HIS PRO CAREER REC. BEGINS IN 1910,APPARENTLY AFTER THE TWO POST BOUTS,NOT INCLUDING KID POST....MY QUESTION IS WHY IS NOT KID POST MENTIONED IN THE RECORD BOOK?

My records show Jimmy Duffy fighting Kid Post 2/28/10 and 5/3/10.
I have Duffy fighting from 1908-1921, 172 total bouts. Records on this website are great resourse, they put in information they have.

Whew, no luck on this one. Don't find him in the annuals of
the day, like T. S. Andrews and the National Police Gazette. It's tough to
track these guys in the days before The Ring.

Sorry
