Back to what we were made for...silly boxrec stuff

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a fighter called Emerson Chasing Bear who I thought had an amazing name, but I've found someone with an even better one now. "Prince Octopus Dzanie", yes you read that right, Prince Octopus!

 Despite seeing prince Octopus and finding that brilliant this struck me as more bizarre. Look at the year of birth and then the guys debut fight. It says he fought BEFORE being conceived! What a fighter, fighting from the testes of his father (this mistake has since been corrected)

When we heard Bernard Hopkins set new record for being the oldest champion, we had to find out who was the oldest fighter on the Boxrec system. What no one expected to find was a man this old! (again this mistake has since been corrected).

6 titles fights, 0 perfect records?

Last week I blogged about how there was a triple head in Japan, a show that if you caught it you'd have really enjoyed. Both Nishioka and Ao defended their titles successfully whilst Hozumi Hasegawa suffered his 2^nd stoppage loss in 3 fights at the hands of Jhonny Gonzalez. At the end of the month however boxing fans have a bit of a scheduling nightmare. America (south and north) hold no less than 6 title fights in just 1 night. They are:

Rafael Concepcion v Hugo Ruiz (WBA, Bantamweight)-Panama

Gilberto Keb Baas v Adrian Hernandez II (WBC, Light Flyweight)-Mexico

Jesus Geles v Ramon Garcia Hirales II (WBO, Light Flyweight)-Mexico

Raul Garcia v Rommel Asenjo (WBO, Minimumweight)-Mexico

Julio Cesar Miranda v Richie Mepranum II (WBO, Flyweight)-USA

Luis Alberto Lazarte v Ulises Solis II (IBF, Light Flyweight)-Argentina

Although these are all in the “smaller weights” and include 4 rematches they should include some very interesting match ups. What's perhaps the most amazing is that from the 12 fighters involved not a single one has an unbeaten record. In fact the combined losses are 52!

By fighter:

Keb Bass-20

Lazarate-9

Concepcion-5

Miranda-5

Asenjo-2

Hirales-2

Mepranum-2

Solis-2

Geles-1

Garcia-1

Hernandez-1

Ruiz-1

Could this be 4 records-

1-Most title fights on the same night? (6)

2-Most title fight rematches on the same night? (3)

3-Most combined losses of title fight fighters in 1 night? (52)

4-Most title fights with out an unbeaten record?
