USA-Finland 9-27-1987; Tampere, Finland

Post by Crimson »

If someone would be so kind as to add the following amateur fight results to BoxRec it would be greatly appreciated.

September 27, 1987; Tampere, Finland

Weight WON LOST
75 kg (165 lb.) Willie Kemp-USA WON (TKO?) Arto Salo-Finland
66 kg (147 lb.) Verno Phillips-USA W3 (2-1) Juha Alatalo-Finland
63.5 kg (139 lb.) Curly Sanders-USA W3 (3-0) Jyrki Eskelinen-Finland
63.5 kg (139 lb.) Kai Ruonala-Finland W3 (3-0) Charlie Fitch-USA
54 kg (119 lb.) Kevin Kelly-USA WON (TKO?) Veli Ruohoniemi-Finland

I have 5 photos to attach from Finnish newspaper clippings documenting the results. I'm still trying to figure out how to do so.

Two days earlier on September 25, 1987 in Helsinki, Finland another USA vs. Finland card took place. I do not have newspaper coverage for that card but know I (Charlie Fitch) lost a (2-1) decision against Tero Soikkelisai.

Additional USA fighters who were on that team and might have been on the September 25, 1987 card (in addition to those listed above) were:
Ike Padilla (201+ lb.)
Alan Cromp (156 lb.)
Frank Liles (147 lb.)
David Villar (106 lb.)

I don’t read Finnish but am quite certain date (9-27-87) is accurate. I’m not sure if Willie Kemp and Kevin Kelly won by stoppage or decision. Possibly one of the BoxRec writers from Finland would be willing to translate the articles and confirm the results?

Well, I'm not sure how to post the newspaper clipping images that document these results. Any suggestions on how to do so is much appreciated. Or, Is there a BoxRec moderator or administrator whom I can email the newspaper images too?
