Post by BitPlayer »

Is there any editors here that can update the database? I've found a fair number that are not on the system.

(Upham also had 2 fights with Pitzlin, they went 1 each, I'll post an article later, it's also on CBZ)

Also Fitz Vs Harris Martin should maybe be a NWS win for Ruby Rob

It' not that difficult to find fights that aren't listed here yet. Boxrec is a work in progress and hundreds of historic fights from all eras are being entered each week.
