Glad you liked them, they are just card fillers (and local interest ones at that). Here are a few more, I have about 35 to 40 from the decade that I want to rate - some did had a bit more of a national reputation.

JOE FASTA
Hometown - New Haven, Connecticut, USA
5(5)-0-0
Fasta was in the ring for seven months at the end of WWII. He scored four knockouts against fellow Connecticut pugs like Frankie Whalen and George Boner. Joe did travel beyond Connecticut's borders once before hanging the gloves up. He KO'd one of the many who have fought out of Boston as John L Sullivan in Boston.

GEORGE FITCH
Hometown - New Haven, Connecticut, USA
24(12)-16-1
Fitch did well enough against the local Connecticut talent to be called on as an opponent for Heavyweights with national appeal. He was stopped by Tami Mauriello, Archie Moore and Elmer Ray. A second bout with Ray ended in decision but with Fitch still on the losing end. George drew with Eddie Blunt and held victories over Oscar Goode, Henry Cooper (of NY, not UK), and Buddy Knox. Bouts with in-state interest include a win over Tony Shucco, a ten round decision loss to Charley Eagle and a pair of losses to Nathan Mann. The second fight with Mann in 1940 was a 12 round decision loss for the New England Heavyweight Title that Mann held.

GEORGIE FULLER
Hometown - Norwalk, Connecticut, USA
7(3)-14-1
Fuller fought many of the other CT Heavyweights of the forties; he stopped a streaking Star Harvey before dropping ten straight bouts himself including a loss to Tiger Ted Lowry in Portland Maine. His final bout was a ninth round KO to Roland LaStarza in Waterbury, the epicenter of CT political corruption.
