A LETTER

Lawrence L. Roberts, No. 608, 1190 Forestwood Dr., Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5C 1 H9, has sent the following letter to IBRO.

"I was pleased to receive your invitation to join the IBRO, and have given the matter my serious consideration. It has come down to this: I will base my decision on the Organization's collective response to the following statements:

1) The shortest 'title' fight in heavyweight history remains the Burns-Roche contest of March 17th, 1908. The Jeffries -Finnegan match was and has always been regarded as a simple exhibition, and the recent Dokes-Weaver farce was not for the heavyweight championship of the World as neither man was or is champion.

2) Tommy's record of 8 consecutive KOs in title defenses has never been equalled because Larry Holmes has only been generally recognized as World Champion since October 2, 1980. With the existance of twogoverning bodies who refuse to unify the most coveted title in sports, the historian must follow the old maxim that the heavyweight title can only be won or lost in the ring. Therefore, Muhammad All was still champion when he stepped into the ring with Holmes.

However, there may be some weight in the argument that Holmes became universal champion upon the elimination of the WBA clown-prince, John Tate, by a man Holmes had already beaten. This would still limit his consecutive title KO streak to less than Burns' eight.

3) Tommy Burns won the light -heavyweight championship of the world when he defeated Phila. Jack O'Brien on May 8, 1907 as both men weighed less than 175 lbs.

If the IBRO's collective response to these statements is agreeable I will be most interested in pursuing the matter further. Thank you."

CLYDE GRAY

John Robertson forwards the following correction to the record of former British Commonwealth welterweight champion Clyde Gray. Although the 1981 Ring Record Book lists his 1/27/70 bout with Humberto Trottman in Toronto as a fifth round win by disqualification, the disqualification actually took place in the sixth round according to the report in the Toronto Globe & Mail. Trottman was disqualified for hitting referee Sammy Luftspring and Luftspring retaliated with a few blows of his own before order was restored in the bout which took place at the Royal York Hotel.

MR. GILBERT E. ODD

Thanks to the efforts of Bob Soderman, Mr. Gilbert Odd is now a member of IBRO.: Some background on Mr. Odd as extracted from the book jackets of several of his works:

(From Ring Battles of the Century, Nicholson & Watson, London, 1948):' "Gilbert E. Odd has a sporting background, the manufacture of cricket bats being the family industry, for his grandfather and father played no small part in the development of the modern cricket bat. The more exciting sport of Boxing, however, proved a greater attraction, and after a brief interlude in the amateur ring he became a boxing journalist. "The first contests he reported were at the Blackfriars"Ring' (since then a casualty of the Blitz) when he was only seventeen and for the last thirty years he has kept the closest acquaintance with the boxing game and its associates. He has seen boxing in almost every arena in the United Kingdom and in many other countries and has been a feature writer fcro the majority of the London and Provincial newspapers. "He is regarded as an authority on ring statistics and has the records and achievements of every fighting man, past and present, at his fingertips. He possesses a most extensive boxing library of books and photographs and devised and compiled the 'Boxing News Annual,' now in its fourth year - the only boxing record book published in the country. "He is married and has a nine -year -old son, Graham Harvey, whose second name is a tribute to that fistic master, Len Harvey, one of the author's greatest friends."

(From Debatable Decisions, Nicholson & Watson, London, 1953): "Gilbert E. Odd has been a boxing writer for over thirty years, starting as a ringside reporter in his 'teens. He has seen practically every fight of note in this country during that time and been inside almost every boxing hall. In addition, he has watched boxing in many other countries and in 1951 flew to New York to report the famous return contest between Randolph Turpin and Sugar Ray Robinson, a detailed description of which, together with his personal views on the referee's decision, are contained in the opening chapter of this book. In a lifetime devoted to the Noble Art, he has amassed considerable data and is regarded as an authority on boxing history and the personalities of the great game. He has contributed to most of the national press and in 1948 assumed the editorship of 'Boxing News'. He also devised and compiled the 'Boxing News Annual and Record Book', now in its ninth year. "His first book, 'Ring Battles of the Century', was highly successful and received great praise from the critics because of its close adherence to fact; its vivid punch - for-punch description of the ring battles under review and the true-to-life pen pictures of the fistic personalities involved. "His second book, 'Was the Referee Right?', opened a new field in boxing literature, presenting the reader with problems that confronted the referees of some famous fights and inviting him to decide for himself what he would have done in similar circumstances."

(From Jack Johnson - In the Ring and Out, Proteus (Publishing) Ltd, London, 1977): "The doyen of British boxing writers, Gilbert Odd has been a student of his chosen subject since 1920. A former editor of Boxing News and its predecessor, Boxing, he has made a formidable contribution to the literature of the Noble Art, most recently by publishing the first full - length study of Bob Fitzsimmons. "For the task of editing Jack Johnson, Odd has been able to draw upon the personal experience of having met the legendary champion and watched all his important fights over and over on film. His perceptive afterword to this volume surveys the era that Johnson personified and provides a balance to the super-ego of the man that Odd rates as 'the most highly-skilled Heavyweight Champion of them all, not excepting Muhammad Ali'.

BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY

David L. Porter, William Penn College, Oskaloosa, Iowa 52577 is editing an extensive two volume Biographical Dictionary of American Sport and plans to include 80 biographical entries for boxing. He is looking for a dozen authors to each write from one to ten 300-400 word biographical essays for this work. For further details, contact him at the above address.

WHEN IS A BOUT OFFICIALLY OVER?

John Robertson raises a question as to the inconsistency in reporting the result of a bout stopped between rounds. He cites the November 19, 1972 WBC lightweight championship bout between Chango Carmona and Rudolfo Gonzalez held in Los Angeles, which was stopped at the end of 12 rounds. This - bout appears as a 13th round KO in the records of both men. Yet the Dempsey -Willard bout which was terminated after 3 rounds appears as a third round knockout.

Although various boxing commissions have, through the years, had differing rules regarding the recording of a stoppage between rounds and the record books reflect these inconsistencies, it's interesting that neither the WBA or WBC in their published rules, has a definite rule covering this.

Shouldn't we strive for consistency in recording boxing records? What suggestions do you have for resolving this situation?

INFORMATION WA NTED

Jack Kincaid is looking for vital statistics (height, weight, date and place of birth, date and place of death) for the following boxers: Eddie Murdock, Young Peter Jackson, Al Thulmans, Wes Ketchell, Johnny "Bandit" Romero,. Jimmy Evans, "Cowboy" Charlie Cobb, Jack Roper, Oscar Hawkins, Jack Coggins. He is not interested in any of the information that has appeared in the Ring, Everlast, Post or Andrews record books. He can be reached at the following address: c/o Morfield, 2055 Cruger Ave., Bronx, NY 10462. He is also interested in obtaining boxing drawings and cartoons.

Bruce Harris, 11 Windham Loop, #4JJ, Staten Island, NY 10314, is interested in obtaining information on boxing in England from 1870 -1910.

Bob Soderman, 200 S. Kenilworth, Mt. Prospect, II, 60056 is looking for a copy of a book by Chicago sports writer Gene Kessler, "The Brown Bomber" on the early career of Joe Louis. He would like to buy it, if possible, or borrow it temporarily for research purposes. He is also interested in acquiring other books on boxing, books by Gilbert Odd and other boxing books published in England.

Some records, and record book discrepancies, from Laurence Fielding.

In the record of Mike Ballerino (1982 Ring Record Book, page 799), he is credited with a win over Eddie Lord at New Haven on Sept. 30, 1926. But Eddie Lord, in his record (1932 Everlast, page 254), is credited.with a 1926 win over Ballerino, no date or place given.

Also in Eddie Lord's record, in his "wins" for 1927-1930, a win is claimed over Harry Scott. But in Scott's record (1944 RRB, page 503), this fight appears as a draw, July 25, 1927, at Hartford.

In Bob Olin's record (1982 RRB, page 664) he is credited with a win over Joe Banovic on Dec. 19, 1930 at New York. In Banovic's record (1943 RRB, page 72) the fight is a draw.

Also in Banovic's record, he is credited with a knockout in 4 rounds over Primo Ubaldo, on Feb. 10, 1930 at New York. But in Ubaldo's record (1931 Andrews, page 291) he is credited with a win on a foul in It rounds over Banovic. There the question is, which was the final official decision ?

In the record of Wolcott Langford (19414 RRB, page 469) he is credited with a win over George Manolian in 10 rounds at Boston on Aug. 30, 1927. This agrees with Langford's record in the 1928 Everlast, page 167, but disagrees with Langford's record in the 1928 Andrews, page 201-202, where it shows him losing to Nanolian. In Manolian's record, both in the 1928 Andrews, pages 236-237, and in the 1928 Everlast, page 189-190, he is credited with winning over Langford in 1927, dates and places not given.

Also in Manolian's record, in both Andrews and Everlast, he is credited with a win in 10 rounds over Meyer Cohen in 192h. But in Cohen's record (1943 RRB, page 129) two 10 round fights with Manolian are listed for 1924, both wins for Cohen. No dates or places given, in either of the men's records.

TONY ZALE

Bob Soderman Ilbs done extensive research on the early record of Tony Zale and has uncovered some corrections - the most notable being the bout which appears in Zale's record as a 2/11/35 knockout victory over Roughhouse Glover but in reality was a loss by knockout and occurred on March 27th.

7/1 6/34 opponent was Einar Hedquist (not Headquist) 8/7/34 Bruce Wade, Peoria KO 3 scheduled 8 round bout (not 8/6/34 and not K02) 8/15/34 George Black, Milwaukee L 6 (not 8/20/34 and not Chicago)

Chicago Tribune report of the above fight:

ROUGHHOUSE GLOVER KNOCKS OUT TONY ZALE IN NINTH Mar. 28, Cincinnati (AP) "Roughhouse Glover, Jacksonville, Florida middleweight, scored a ninth round knockout over Tony Zale of Gary, Indiana tonight at the Music Hall. Zale made an impressive start, but, in the fourth was weakened by a right uppercut to the stomach. Glover weighed 161, Zale - 159."
