Abe Attell vs. FRankie Neil

Post by Ric »

BoxRec: Abe Attell W-13 Frankie Neil, Jan. 31, 1908.
My newspaper source -- The Everett Morning Tribune -- reported that this was a TKO-15, with the sponge being tossed into the ring by Neil's seconds. Clarification?

Attell item. Attell by TKO13. Source 2-1-1908 Arizona Republic. Entry made. Same statement: seconds threw in the sponge to prevent serious injury.

Tommy Freeman

Post by Ric »

The Bellingham Evening News reports welterweight champion Tommy Freeman K-8(10) Roy Stevens (Springfield, MO) at El Paso, Texas, Feb. 17, 1931. Should I enter it? I'll see if the Los Angeles Times can confirm it, too.

Was a bonafide dupe, one had the venue entered.

Billy Miske vs. Willie Meehan

Post by Ric »

Miske-Meehan occurred July 3, not July 4, 1922. Source: The Los Angeles Times July 4 edition, with a July 3 byline (saying the bout occurred "tonight" on July 3).

Harry Wills/Fred Fulton

How certain are we of that July 26, 1920 date? Unless I jotted down some bad information, The Los Angeles Times reports it as occurring July 23, with Jack Dempsey ring-side. (The LA paper followed everything he did, and everywhere he went.) It also reports two other bouts on the card I have yet to enter until I get an exact date.

NY Times has this date. Added the weights for Wills-Fulton, and the venue.
