Deacon Leo Kelly -- Australian results

[delisa]

Here is my record for Kelly -- My understanding is that he had a contract with the guys at Leichardt Stadium, and he did not fight in Sydney until November, after that Contract ran out. Box rec has different.

My locations are confirmed via contem. reports in Ring.

I beleive all bouts at Leichardt were 2-minute rounds. I am not sure about Sydney.

Also, I am seeing entries for Leichhardt Stadium, Sydney -- my understanding is that Leichhardt was incorporated as a local government area in 1871.

Wouldn't tht make the city Leichhardt not Sydney??
