That's it for the Referee and Redhead mags. I will start on the Knockout mags I have tomorrow and then maybe the Ring magazines.

The Rossano's are brothers.

The second 1940s booster pack (since the original eight add-ons by class more than two years ago) was sent to CornerWork.com yesterday, and should be available soon. There are 110 boxers of various weights in the zip.

I'm already five fighters into the third pack, which will probably be the last one. If, after you've downloaded the other nine packs from CornerWork, you find someone missing, this is the time to let me know someone needs to be added. I've got about 120 targeted for this last booster.

Thanks to Chargers, Boxscribe, Cap, Chris, Shane, Romulitis, Tosti, Jofre, Mike and all who have contributed to the photo hunt so far. I'll put together the M's, N's anmd O's lists soon.

All right, I have to go. These were from the pile closest at hand. I do not know if you are interested in adding these types of fighters to your 40s universe Mark, but if you want more just let me know. I have too many fighter pictures to count from the 20s - 60s.

Several of these guys are on my to-do list, like Bull, Edwards and Romano, and a couple (Piitulainen and Napolitano) I had already rated. I will add several of the others to the list now, which may eventually necessitate a fourth booster pack!

Thank you profusely, and by all means, keep 'em coming!

I may have time to rumble through more than you may want this evening.

Mark, would you mind posting a file if you have rated any of these folks? Everything that I put up last night (or will post this evening) comes from a file where I keep photos that I have no matching file for.

Thanks again!

Christopher

I'm at work now, so will have to wait until tonight (after 5, CST). Otherwise, will make a list and bring them back to post in the a.m. Thanks again for all your help. You clearly have a later bedtime than I do!

The rest will have to wait until this evening. I worked until 11:30 last night (tis the season for us lowly accountants) - generally I am in bed at that hour too Mark.

Take care.

Six unsuccessful bids for the Italian MW, LHW and HW crowns.

CONN CHRIS · 02-21-2006, 09:14 PM

I'll stop there for tonight, some are better than others. I don't know what you like Mark but I prefer to have many fighters from various skill levels in play. If this is getting to be an annoyance just say stop.

Thanks again for the ratings!

Christopher

CONN CHRIS · 02-22-2006, 07:20 AM

Ok, heading out for the day (another late night - groan). Take care Mark.

vistaman44 · 02-22-2006, 08:24 AM

I, too, like a lot of various skill level boxers in play at one time. As with your earlier posts yesterday, some of these have already been rated, some are on the list, etc.

Here are the fighter files for the ones I gathered from your first posts Tuesday. Will accumulate more for tomorrow.

Thanks again!

mh2365 · 02-22-2006, 09:49 AM

Notice you are around more now Mark .... did your job situation change again? Hope all is well on that front. If your situation allows, you should step up to TBCB2, almost a whole different game.

Your job must be really "taxing" ... LOL!

Tosti · 02-23-2006, 02:37 AM

Nice Pics Chris.

CONN CHRIS · 02-23-2006, 05:37 AM

Thanks Tom.

ChargersFan - I know you have a ton of photos too; in looking these over, some appear to be not as clear as the originals that I took them from (I use a very basic photo editor). So if you have a sharper version of anything, feel free to post a better one of any of these.

Here are a few more before I head out for the day.

He was from Belgium although Boxrec lists no country of origin. Also, he may have fought Pierre Langlois, Charles Humez and Emile Delmine prior to 1950 but those bouts were not listed at Boxrec (at the time I pulled his record anyway).

CONN CHRIS · 02-23-2006, 06:42 AM

Mark:

That's all I have at the moment from the era that you are interested in (that I believe may not have been posted yet).

If anyone wants pre-1920, 1920s, 1930s, 1950s et cetera just let me know. I have quite a few that I do not think have been posted to-date.

Christopher

vistaman44 · 02-23-2006, 08:00 AM

Here are a few more fighter files from the earlier posts.

vistaman44 · 02-23-2006, 08:01 AM

... from earlier posts. Most will be in my next booster pack, too. Thanks again!
