Can you please add two more fights to the record of Rocky Luciano(1940-1944):

Posted on Billy Speary's web site (http://www.speary.com) Rocky defeated (unanimous decision)Frankie Bluis of Pottsville in six rounds on August 3, 1942 in Allentown, PA.

Also contained in a program for a benefit bout held in Harrisburg, PA
(March 8, 1955) to help raise money for Rocky who was blinded from injuries received from boxing, John S. Dye (promoter) makes mention of a fight between Stan Marak and Rocky which ended in a draw. Dye who promoted the fight called the bout "the most gruelling, hard-fought, equally matched bout there was." Date of the fight and number of rounds were not mentioned.

Thanks for your help.

Added 50 bouts to Rocky's record. The Marak fight was June 5, 1941 in Harrisburg PA. He had 2 fights with Frankie Bluis in 1940, the '42 bout was not on the record but I added it.
