From the 1962 Ring Record Book I have more on Bob Conrad. I'll use my yyyymmdd dating.

19601024 Larry McGee, Long Beach TD 1
19601101 Ed Hickman, Los Angeles W 4
19610119 Danny, Perez, Los Angeles W KO 6

Only one of these opponents has a record listed in the 1962 RRB for cross referencing.
It is Ed Hickman ( 083301 in Boxrec) They have him at 8 and 17 with 1 KO in 25
who appears to have been a veteran pre-lim fighter. He's the same guy boxrec has losing to Conrad in San Diego in 1962
From 1958 through 1961 the RRB has him at 13(2 by KO) wins and 25 (5by KO) losses .

This guy faced Wayne Thornton twice before stepping in versus Conrad so he wasn't just chopped liver. He also faced Charley Shipes and Stan Harrington. Most have shown something against Battad to get promoters to pop for plane fare to the island to face Harrington and expect to draw more than flies at the gate.
