Curley Watson - Record #46433 - Correction??

Please review Watson's record:

BoxRec stats show he died after injuries he received during a fight in 1909 - then lists a bout 1/27/1910 vs. Young Joseph.

Is this one of those fighters that because of when he fought, the information isn't all quite there yet as to when he actually died?

Thanks for clearing this up for me!

Good catch Tom -- Watson actually died in March 1910 -- the newpaper report and about a thousand others is going to appear in a book Johnny Bos and I are putting together on boxers killed in the ring -- "They Died With Their Gloves On."

Our first book, "Who Lies There? Boxer's Obituaries" is ready and being bound.

I made the correction to Watson's record, as well as adding the date for his fight with Frank Erne.
