Scroll down to the Boston card Robbie Sims according to Boxrec is fighting Willis Ely. I am just converting a tape with the fight in question but according to the Eurosport programme and the MC he is fighting Bill Bradley.

Looking at Bill Bradley's career record there is no fight with Sims. So who is he fighting, Bill Bradley or Willis Ely?

Apparently Sims's opponent was announced as Bill Bradley, but was later found to have been Willis Ely.

I see, still strange that none of his corner said owt when the mc was announcing the fight in the ring?

I think this was similar to Roy Jones's fight with Tony Waddles, where Waddles claimed to be Derwin Richards.
