Hi. I'm a new member. I'm a retired fellow living in South Florida. I've scanned through the seach results, but new some additional information about 4 Florida fighters: Ken Klingman(middleweight), Joe Lupo(Welterweight), Carlton Starling(Middleweight) and Elvis Yero(Welterweight).
I'm sort of a research "buff". I'd like to cross reference my records for these fighters with someone else's, if possible. For instance. I have Ken Klingman as 20-0 with 20 Knockouts. Boxrec has him listed as 11-0. Carlton Starling, I have as 7-3-1 and he is listed as 3-2-1. Elvis Yero I have as 15-2, he is listed as 15-1, and Joe Lupo is incomplete. I have a bout with Tippy Larkin, box rec has him 5-4.
Also wondering if anyone knows the complete record of Dorian Malamed, and what happened to him. I recall as a teenage amateur he was 44-0 with 42 knockouts. Believe he turned pro and knockedout Miami's John L. Johnson, but that's all I have on him.
I do find some "vast" differences on my records for Al Jones(Opla Locka, FL) and Al Migliorato(Miami Beach,FL). I have Jones listed as 33-3-1 and Migliorato as 45-4-1. My record for Jeff Merritt lists him as 19-3. Any ideas on how I can find the "right" answers.
I researched these gentleman through my collection of RING, BOXING ILLUSTRATED Magazines, my old ring record books-(oldedst 1975), and the Miami Herald, Miami News, Sun Post old editions dating back to the 1950's, 1960's, etc.
Best wishes to all.
Need the records of some 60's Florida fighters.
