New Non-HW Boxers Rated

[Slapsie]

I don't believe that Milburn Saylor has been rated.

He was a lightweight and welterweight from Indianapolis who fought from 1908 to 1920. He met Ted (Kid) Lewis for the world welterweight title in 1915, losing a decision in 12 rounds.

During his career Saylor defeated Young Erne, Philadelphia Pal Moore, Willie Beecher, Leach Cross, Stanley Yoakum, Matty Baldwin, Joe Welling, Hal Stewart, Joe Shugrue, Herb McCoy, Grover Hayes, Battling Nelson, Phil Brock, and Ray Bronson (who later managed him).

After his career he worked as a fireman for the railroads and was killed at 32 in a train wreck.

The enclosed ratings have been thoroughly playtested.

Boxrec lists him as a heavyweight, but also reports that he fought at 150 pounds. So I have rated him as a middleweight.

In 1930, the Russian-born fighter self-published an autobiography entitled <i>The Story of Abe the Newsboy: Hero of a Thousand Fights</i>.

Boxrec lists his career as running from 1908 to 1918.

I didn't know how to handle his name. In the attached file and photo below he is shown as Abe/ the Newsboy, although Abe the/ Newsboy might be better.

boxrec.com also shows him w/ the alias "Abe Hollandersky"

I have that pic in my db listed as Hollandersky_Abe.jpg

Don't know where it came from

Source line says imported from TB1. Don't know if it was one that didn't carry over to TBCB2, or if I updated a TF2001 file or what.
