Does this warrant enough info to add to Kid Demers fight record?

So in an article in the Fri, Feb 08, 1924, Montreal, The Gazette, there is an article about Bantamweight Ralph McNaughton from Quebec City the BoxRec record for him show. This article says by the way he started to box at eighteen years of age and is just over twenty years of age at the time of this article. Says he has been knocked out on one occasion with his most recent fight with Young Mack in which the judges called a 10 round draw. This is listed in Ralph's BoxRec records. The article then lists all his "complete record of his bouts". See attached screen shot. It shows four fights with Demers included the 1923 knockout of him in the fifth round that I sent the previous newspaper account of that said "Young" McNaughton. I'll see if I find any info on these other Demers fights. Have some additional info to add to Demers BoxRec file? I started looking at this because I wanted to do a quick rating for Demers.
