The Big Tall Wish revisited

"The Twilight Zone" The Big Tall Wish revisited (1960)
8 April 1960 (Season 1, Episode 27)

An aging boxer loses a televised match - until he comes home, and speaks with his neighbor's son, whose wish turns the boxer into the winner.
Ivan Dixon ... Bolie Jackson
Charles Horvath ... Fighter (uncredited) Joey Consiglio

Bolie lost a 1949 bout to Sailor Leavitt in St. Louis, cuts
He also fought in Syracuse & Miami

on Bolie's undercard couldn't make out given weights, looked like MWs. Later found these names were taken from the ones used in Somebody up There Likes Me

Kayo Otcello vs Sunny Linkwood in a 6
Nick Scarbine vs. Johnny Ellerton in a 6
Joe Flythe vs. Honey Sirota is a 4

gives:
Sailor Leavitt HW boxer 5
Sunny Linkwood MW boxer 1
Kayo Otcello MW slugger 1
Nick Scarbine MW slugger 1
Johnny Ellerton MW boxer 1
