Missing bout
Jack Berg WKO6 Mike Gamiere (5/28/1928 at Ocean Park)
Jack Kid Berg
That's books may be right in some counts, British bouts in particular. But by looking at the dates they gave for the Fuller, Canzoneri, and some New York and Chicago bouts, I would say that I would not trust that as a resource. Many of those dates we have already been confirmed against a newspaper. What that book confirmed against, I couldn't guess.

I don't know if they're right or not, but it's worth noting.
