Although I was only really a so so semi pro with 17 fights,I still gave and took the knocks to be payed due respect. Therefore, I think when recording a TKO on someones record ,more detail should be given. The way my record looks, is that I was unable to defend myself in nearly half my bouts. The Nelson farce is correctly recorded- TKO cut eye. Please can you add similar detail to all of my other TKO losses-Ian Bulloch,Colin Brown,Lennie Howard. The only bout which resulted in the refereee stopping the bout because he thought I was taking too much punishment, was my final bout against Declan Flaherty .
It would be appreciated if you clarified my record and hopefully that of many others who would have at least gone the distance, if a crimson flow had not intervened.

Re: Misleading results - Me Sean Daly and many thousand others
Ultimately you have a very valid point.....the database is no where near finished and as i see some of your bouts are numbered in the 150000 mark very much from the early days....and in those days we merely entered results and still in some respects still do....we decided later that salient information should be entered in the wikipedia element of the bout....frankly in a multitude of cases it has not....i must apologise for that but hopefully it will be rectified at a later date....
Re: Misleading results - Me Sean Daly and many thousand others
the italian record books used to record stoppage defeats as im....rather than tko....and boxing news annuals had rsf * the asterisk referring to injury stoppage ....but the yanks viz-a-ve up till 1984 Ring Record Book recorded all stoppage defeats as KOs....somewhere in between we had to go...yes use tko then list reason from valid source ie Boxing News....but there is much work to go...
