Bunny Grant vs. Manny Santos fight of March 15, 1967

Post by Reenthelawman »

Dear Editors,

The Bunny Grant vs. Manny Santos fight of March 15, 1967 is currently reported in the database as a PTS 15 win for Santos. According the the March 16, 1967 edition of the New York Times, the result was actually an SD15 win for Santos. The report reads as follows:

"Manoel Santos, 25 years old, of New Zealand, won the Commonwealth lightweight boxing title from Bunny Grant of Jamaicaon a split decision in a 15-round bout tonight.

Two officials voted for Santos by scores of 296-290 and 294-291. A third official had Grant the winner, 298-286."

In light of the above, I suggest that the database should reflect the result as an SD15. I would also suggest that the scores be included.

Thanking you in advance,
