Guys -- here is a query -- is this fighter -- named Antolin Fierro
http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=17613

actually Antonio Fierro, the Cuban heavy from the mid-1920s who held the Cuban Heavy title? Fierro was a big gy, weighing around 230.

Also Chief Metaquah (John Metaquah) won the Cuban heavy title from fierro in Havana on Jan 9, 1924 by 2-round kayo.

Metaquah had tons of fights yet I can't find any here?. Is that just a spelling thing or have we simply not entered any of his fights yet?

Ah! Okay.

The Fierro fight above is confirmed, if someone wants to add it.

Also, many times he was referred to as just

Chief Metoquah -- or Chief John Metoquah --

we have John (Chief) Metoquah;

I vote to change this to Chief Metoquah

Colin??

Yes, yes, yes.
Us the fighting name as adjudged by contemporary sources, not the given name.
By all means put in a dummy bout if necessary but use fighting names.

Cuban sports books state Antolin Fierro was the Cuban heavyweight beaten by Uzcudun. Fierro had received a build up and was expected to do well against Uzcudun,but instead it marked the end of his career...
