Hello all.
Judge/referee Wayne Hedgepeth's surname is misspelled at his Boxrec main page and wherever it's listed as judge or referee in all boxer records. Boxrec erroneously has it as Wayne "Hedgpeth."

I have three corroborating sources to more or less prove the correct spelling is Hedgepeth.
1. The Showtime broadcast of the recent Tarver-Kayode fight, which he refereed, spelled it thus.
2. The New York Times lists two articles with his name spelled thus, none with the misspelling (per Google searches using parameter site:nytimes.com "wayne hedgpeth" or parameter site:nytimes.com "wayne hedgepeth")
3. A California State Athletic Commission document spelled it thus (see page 124):

Re: Misspelled judge name
I was wrong. It is indeed "Hedgpeth." Supporting evidence, which is much weightier than the previous evidence I presented in arguing for "Hedgepeth":
1. His entry in the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame: http://www.njboxinghof.org/wp-content/u ... GPETH2.jpg
2. A 2004 award nomination which he filled out himself: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... clnk&gl=us
