Roberto Duran's revised record entered.

Post by Blue »

Roberto Duran's revised record entered.

Notice the big change in the first 20 bouts.
(Mostly dates)
Also the 40th bout with "Tony Garcia took place in Panama
NOT Puerto Rico.

40) 12-01-73
140¼ Antonio“Tony”Garcia 139¼ Santiago, Veraguas, Panama KO 3

The Nov 13, 1968 bout with Butch de Leon listed in Fight Fax & other record books NEVER HAPPENED!

Thanks to
Nicolás Espinosa S. - La Prensa de Panama
Luis Morales - Historian
Rogelio Perez D. - Historian

Please email Nicolás Espinosa S.

and show our gratitude.
It doesn't not matter if it's not in Spanish.

The matter is still being researched by Panamanian historians as Duran's record now only totals 119 fights.

Hey Blue -- Espinosa is going over my record and his bout by bout; he is meeting tomorrow with some other researchers in Panama --

The CBZ has 119 bouts and his record had 120, and we need to check bout by bout for results. So there is still a little revision to go!

But, we all agree -- no 1967 fights for Roberto.

Good work on "egging" on these researchers!
