Bert Gilroy fight record...

[jimglen]

first let me commend BoxRec for their great work Always & Overall, but especially with the Improved Site Design, EXECELLENT and Fantastic, a Great Job as always.

love the New Record sources and look.

Here is some addition info Bert was 15 years old when he made his Pro Debut, and his Fight with Jock McAvoy was SCHEDUALED...

Cancelled INJURY Gilroy, Broken Pelvis bone while on Military training manoeuvres.

thanks for now, GREAT Work.

BUMP...

Bert was 15 years of age when he started out as a Pro in 1933.

Gilroy v Sadd, 1940 was a "Final Eliminator" for the British Middleweight title, held by McAvoy.

and as stated above, for your Scheduled Bouts feature, McAvoy verse Gilroy was Scheduled...

British Middleweight Title
Bellevue, Manchester, Lancashire England, UK
June 10, 1940.

The scheduled function is for bouts that are currently scheduled, not for fights that were once scheduled but didn't come off. Regarding your other points... his 1940 bout is already listed as an eliminator and that Gilroy was 15 upon his debut rather speaks for itself (as his earliest bout is listed for 1933).

Thank you wouter...

ah, understand about the Scheduled Bouts. I though it was a great new feature and for record(s) accuracy, they would benefit from such important scheduled bouts especially for titles.

1933 might speak for itself, however on his record BoxRec says 16 for his age and not the correct 15, so it's not it's obvious if even BoxRec has listed it incorrect...

as to the "Final Eliminator" this has been shown for other fighters, and there is a difference too, first in accuracy and importance, and then in equal objectivity.

Thanks Wouter.

I added the word final. As to the listed age of 16, I see what you mean but that's a temporary glitch in the new system, which hopefully wil be resolved soon.

Jim Brady vs Bert Gilroy listed twice here, with precisely the same outcome...

we have ever only found them to meet once.
