The additional opponents names, as seen below, were written by his wife Delia on the last page of his scrapbook. As this list included no dates, I have kept them separate from the research on internet websites above and included results to add to and update the  statistical details (W,L,D and total), at top of page.

I discovered some additional fights below (not listed in "Boxing Records"), in the Newspaper Clippings of Joe's Scrapbook -See: "Murdock/Cardoza, Feature Bout"

Update: Since I first listed the below fights, the "Boxing Records" have found and added more contests and names to their lists which I have added above. Now, I have to try and sort out which contests and names are repeated on the list below so, I'm sure the total number of fights is not correct at this time.
