==Career Review==

'''Blair Richardson''' was a hard-punching middleweight who hit too hard for his own good. The bones of his fists were unable to withstand his tremendous punching power, causing him to suffer several bone fractures throughout his career. The soft-spoken, baby-faced Richardson had a tremendous following around the Sydney, Glace Bay and Halifax regions. He routinely fought before capacity crowds who were electrified by his sizzling knockout victories.

He became interested in boxing while in High School and turned pro at the age of 15 without any amateur experience. He began his pro career under the tutelage of Jimmy Nemis and later under the charge of Johnny Buckley, Sr., and upon his death, Johnny Buckley, Jr..

Richardson retired June 16, 1967, citing that he had lost his "viciousness."

Richardson was an alumnus of Emerson College where he earned bachelor and master of science degrees in speech. (minors in sociology and theology) After his retirement from the ring, he taught speech at Northeastern University for two years before joining the faculty at Emerson College in 1970. He was a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and several speech organizations.

Richardson died on March 6, 1971, at New England Deaconess Hospital following surgery for a brain tumor.
When Richardson died, he was survived by his parents, two brothers, and his wife Beverly who was expecting their first child.

This record has been compiled by Miles Templeton and Richard Ireland of www.boxinghistory.org.uk. Please visit this site if you require further information about this boxer, as there is much more material available."

The death of Thomas Harrison (aged 38) was [http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=ZqkcE0oeiibXlO9quEBurA&scan=1 registered] during April→June 1931 in Stoke-on-Trent district, so the data 'Died: 1931-01-01' (Age:38)' only indicates he died during 1931, not actually on the 1st of January 1931.

I've found two newspaper articles ([http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2206&dat=19101029&id=igctAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gdQFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3416,6318061 The Miami News], and [http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/45133842 Broken Hill]) that indicate that [http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=43208&cat=boxer Sergeant Sunshine] beat [http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=40136&cat=boxer Iron Hague] (albeit misnamed Ian Hague) on points after 20-rounds on 26 May 1910, and not the other way round. Does anyone know what is the source of the information on BoxRec, and can it be accessed and comapred?

Note: The fact that both articles misname Iron Hague as Ian Hague, could mean they are from the same source/agency. [[User:Dynamodegsy|Dynamodegsy]] ([[User talk:Dynamodegsy|talk]]) 12:40, 28 August 2013 (CDT)
