Nov 25th, 1893 event 251221 at New York Athletic Club missing info

[josesantiago98]

The December 16th, 1893 issue of The National Police Gazette (NPG) reports various bouts for an event held at the New York Athletic Club on Nov 25th, 1893 (event ID#251221), including two that are not currently part of the Boxrec database but should probably be added.

The opening bout was a 125 lbs. contest between Alexander Stocks (ID #596294) and Jack Dorsey (ID #456369). Stocks won a unanimous decision in the six round encounter. This bout should be added to the database.

Jack McGrath (ID #449743) and George Strong (ID #215489) were matched in the next contest. They both weighed 125 lbs. McGrath won in the 5th round by TKO. This bout is not in the database either.

After a bout of French boxing (which I guess is some sort of old time kick boxing), The NPG also reports the two other fights (from event ID#251221) that are already in the Boxrec database, but lacking some of the information that can be gained from the NPG report.

Jim Burge (ID #064399) met Al O'Brien (ID #189055) in the semi-final bout (ID#819267). Jim Burge's weight was announced as 141 lbs. The Boxrec database does not include Jim Burge's weight for this bout.

The main event was a Heavyweight bout (ID#424590) between Frank Craig (ID #039932) and Billy McCarthy(ID #010789). Boxrec correctly indicates that Craig won a 6 round decision, but the bout in the database is not listed as having occurred in the Heavyweight Division as the NPG report indicates.
