Did Sergeant Sunshine beat Iron Hague on points?

Post by DynamoDegsy »

I've found two newspaper articles (The Miami News, and Broken Hill) that indicate that Sergeant Sunshine beat Iron Hague (albeit misnamed Ian Hague) on points after 20-rounds on 26 May 1910, and not the other way round. Does anyone know what is the source of the information on BoxRec, and can it be accessed and comapred?

Note: The fact that both articles misname Iron Hague as Ian Hague, could mean they are from the same source/agency.

Also, Graeme Kent's book 'The Great White Hopes ~ The Quest To Defeat Jack Johnson', contains a picture of a poster advertising the Bombardier Billy Wells versus Sergeant Sunshine bout at King's Hall, Southwark, which states "Sgt. Sunshine ~ Royal Irish Fusiliers ~ Iron Hague's Latest Conqueror", can the records please be amended? Best Regards
