BOBBY BURNS FLY
Hometown - Dallas, Texas, USA 3(0)-9-4; 4 NC Bobby Burns seemed to fight the same folks over and over again. He had a 0-2-2; 2 NC record against Battling Al Murray and had a 0-2-1; 1 NC record with Young Kid Zulu. When Burns fought Johnny Ertle in 1916, Ertle was supposedly defending the World Bantamweight title that he claimed to hold. While it may not be believable that Burns was qualified to to receive a title shot, it is certainly understandable why Ertle would have wanted to defend against Burns. In any event, Burns was stopped in the fourth and continued his unimpressive ways after the "title shot".

DEREK BERRY HW
Hometown - Rialto, California, USA 8(4)-4-1 Berry had a reasonably good start going 7(4)-1-0 through 2002. He has been 1(0)-3-1 since then with stoppage losses to Dominick Guinn and Calvin Brock. Given his age and career trajectory, Derek may be headed for retirement or the land of professional opponents.

JACK BURKE HW

He was stopped by Georges Carpentier, Jack Delaney, Jimmy Slattery, Tommy Gibbons and Gene Tunney. He also dropped decision losses to Homer Smith and Billy Shade. Burke di manage one impressive victory in 1924 when he defeated Battling Siki in a twelve round decision.

the non Irish Jack Burke had John under Alias on box rec so I changed his name to that to keep it straight. Both of your pics are Irish ... here is his file ... as usual, unsure where I got it, don't import his history because he is active in my universe.
