Can you send some references so the bouts can be verified?

All three of these matches are in the Boxrec data base but are listed on the wrong fighters record. They should be moved to Lee Walker's record.

We need references, i.e., video's, commission reports, newspapers, ring magazine, etc.
Then, we are glad to consider making the changes.

Regarding the two Florida fights, you're likely correct and your corrections make more sense than our 'guess' that he was Eddie Walker of Nevada. I added them to Lee Walker's record, with a comment that the fighter was reported as Eddie Walker. Regarding the Bahamas fight, I'm not so sure. This bout was held years before any fight we have listed for Florida's Walker. Also, the fact that he fought an 8-round main event on this program, and apparently put on a credible performance, leads me to believe that he was not an inexperienced youngster as Florida's Walker would have been. I think it's more likely that the report of the fight listed the wrong first name for Walker or that he was a local fighter whose fights are not yet entered in our database. If you have any proof that he was Lee Walker of Florida, please let us know.

I didn't see that. I would like to know the sources of these claims however.
