Please update the database to reflect a points win rather than a points loss for Clifford "Buddy" Schlereth. I'm guessing the headline saying he "almost won despite a hand injury" was the source of the confusion. However, the intent was I think that he was expected to win by knockout and fell short of expecations in winning a controversial decision, instead.

The second article can also be used to add the referee's name to the record.
Let me know if you need a pdf or jpg version instead of a link.
