NABF & USBA titles - possible corrections

Posting for the first time. I really appreciate the vast amount of information provided by your website.

I have some possible corrections for NABF and USBA titles.

FLYWEIGHT

1975-12-10 Willie Jensen (213) def Tony Rocha (299).
You have this match as a USBA title bout. As you know, USBA didn't exist until 1979. I found out that this was an "unofficial" title recognized by The Ring (although USBA might have recognized Jensen's 1975 reign retrospectively).

Rocha won the title by defeating Tony Moreno (10044) on 1975-07-28 in New Orleans.

Times-Picayune (New Orleans) 1975-07-29 pg26
Las Vegas Review-Journal 1975-12-09 pg22 - mentions Rocha beating Moreno for the "Ring Magazine title"

Moreno was billed as the U.S. flyweight champion as early as 1973-08-23.

The Seguin Gazette-Enterprise (Seguin, TX) pg13
Express and News (San Antonio, TX) 1973-10-28 pg57 - mentions The Ring recognition


LIGHTWEIGHT

1985-06-05 Tyrone Crawley (3115) def Charlie Brown (8890)
It was for the vacant USBA lightweight title. You have this as an NABF title bout, but I haven't been able to find any NABF mention regarding this match.

SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT / JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT

1975-08-29 Adolph/Adolfo Viruet (328) def Monroe Brooks (370)

This one is confusing. Viruet was billed as American or North American champion depending on when & where.

Pre-match advertisement on Las Vegas Review-Journal says "American Junior Welterweight Title" (1975-08-29 pg33), but the post match article says Viruet beat Brooks "to win the North American junior welterweight championship" in the bout "sanctioned by the North American Boxing Federation." (1975-08-30 pg7)

Many other newspapers on the day after the match via Associated Press, including the Miami Herald (pg 227), have "North American Boxing Federation's American junior welterweight title."

Either way, this was not a USBA title unless it was recognized as such retrospectively.


1982-11-17 Bruce Curry (408) def Ronnie Shields (2782) for the vacant NABF title. You have this as a bout for the vacant USBA title, but I haven't been able to find USBA mentioned for this match.
I believe Johnny Bumphus's (18262) USBA title reign was not interrupted during this time.

St. Joseph Gazette 1982-11-17 pg17 and 1982-11-18 pg25


1995-01-31 Reggie Green (6505) def Jaime Balboa (2092) for Balboa's NABF title. You have this as a USBA title bout, but I haven't been able to find USBA mentioned for this match. Balboa had won the vacant NABF title on 1994-12-13.
I believe Darryl Tyson's (5222) USBA title reign was not interrupted during this time.

SUPER WELTERWEIGHT / JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT

2003-06-19 Tybius Flowers (28787) def Jose Medina (98445) for USBA Atlantic Coast Regional Title, which Flowers held until he died in 2004-03. Not sure if he was recognized as the national champion at any point.

MIDDLEWEIGHT

1977-06-21 Ralph Palladin (18054) def Gene Wells (18075) for the vacant NABF junior middleweight title, not the middleweight title as you currently have.
