Bear,
Do you realize that you have San Marino listed as the birth country for all of your Slovakians and that none of them have their boxing records or other info printed in their bios? Just thought I should point that out.

bear · 06-07-2009, 09:06 AM

I omitted the bios because they all linked to boxrec

Hadn't realized the country glitch, though. Thanks for pointing it out

John Dewey · 06-07-2009, 09:16 AM

It's no biggie but I have to take the time to add the career records and correct the country of origin myself in my game. I'm kind of anal about things like that. I guess that's why I like to do so many ratings.

I was in a rush to get them posted before I set off to Canastota for the IBHOF induction weekend. I'll be leaving Wed. I divide the drive there into two days. Looking forward to seeing Jofre, Austin and Icetea again.

I'll take more time with my next batch

Crimson · 06-07-2009, 12:18 PM

Thank you for taking the time to post all of these fighters. I didn't realize that there were so many professional boxers from Slovakia!

John Dewey · 06-07-2009, 07:24 PM

If being in a rush gives us more fighters go ahead. I can always add what I require myself. These Slovakians must be the European version of Mexicans. A few good ones perhaps but most of them on call to do some canvas biting for the local promoter's pet. Some really dismal boxing records here.

bear · 06-08-2009, 07:36 AM

Kent needs a thank you on the Slovakians. Hw sent me files to tweek and has also provided me with lists of likely candidates from a variety of countries that I work on from time to time,

John Diehl
1985-1986
Global ID 127950
sex male
birth date 1950-05-01
division middleweight
nationality United States
won 1 (KO 1) + lost 1 (KO 0) + drawn 0 = 2
rounds boxed 5 : KO% 50
160 lbs

IMDB gives the following
Made his professional boxing debut on December 21, 1985, at the Miami Beach Convention Center on 17th Street in South Beach. Diehl knocked out Deboe Bickering in one round.

Took his undefeated boxing record of 3-0 to the Sports Arena in Los Angeles to fight winless Gene Holly 0-6-0. Diehl lost the four-round decision on April 11, 1986, and retired from boxing after the fight.

Probably most familiar to TV audiences as Det. Larry Zito on the smash hit 1980s cop series "Miami Vice" (1984) and most recently as the spirit of pioneering GM auto designer Harley Earl in a series of commercials for Buick.

Attended St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I'm phantasizing with this one Rick Casares

As a teen, Rick won Golden Gloves titles in New Jersey at age 15 and had pro-boxing offers.
He returned to Florida, starred as an all-around collegiate athlete
He was the star of the Bears when I was a kid. In Chicago, back then you could get two Unitas cards for a Casares.

Cool! I've added him to my world. It's fun to do stuff like that in this game.

I remember Diehl's character Larry. He died in a 2-parter that featured Tex Cobb and a good fighter whose name escapes my old memory. Tex was shot and killed, and Diehl, who was undercover as a trainer, was given a drug overdose. His partner, Stan, cried as he held him in his arms at the end of the first part. Larry and Stan were usually the comic relief, but that scene was poignant.
