Im sure Ive seen someone here who runs or works for Boxrec? I have been researching Aussie welterweight Jack Carroll for something Im writing and have got some weights for his fights if youre interested.
Also I just seen that the weights are there but just not on the main page. When you click the magnifying glass it brings up the whole card with the weights.
Im not a Boxrec forum member. I might have to join. Also I have just found an article in Brisbane's Courier Mail by Jack Carroll himself, with journo Aubrey Burt, that states his first pro fight was against Vin O'Brien but on Boxrec thats listed as his 14th fight. Ive also found the articles from the Argus that have the results for a few of the fights prior to the Vin Baker fight but they arent very informative apart from the name Jack Carroll, fighters weights and the result of the fights. Is there a chance this could have been a different Jack Carroll?
Another thought I had, could those fights prior to the Vin O'Brien fight have been amateur bouts? Or were six rounders only for pros in the 1920's?
Ok, after more research it seems that those bouts prior to the Vin O'Brien fight must be legit as Carroll said in another article he done with Aubrey Burt, a week after the first one, that his first loss was to Horrie Conley which was before the Vin O'Brien fight according to Boxrec. I guess Carroll confused his first fight with Fred O'Brien and his 14th with Vin.
Former Kiwi based in Brisbane Mike Attree compiled his record. You can contact him via Boxrec forum, but you need to be forum member. His user name = Kiwi You'll also be able to see all the weights when viewing any record. Cheers
Awesome, thanks mate. I have joined up and PM'd him on Boxrec. Im writing something on Carroll and would love his insight.
Ive found an article on one of Carroll's opponents with a fight result thats not on Boxrec. How would I go about getting the record updated?
Johnny or Johnnie Summers was a Jack Carroll opponent. Heres a newspaper account of a fight of his that doesnt appear on Boxrec. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/art... boxer melbourne&searchLimits=sortby=dateDesc
Attree is your man. This is also his entry http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=129708&cat=boxer
