1916 FLY Title Bouts

WBA

Jimmy Wilde CH (26-1-1) vs Joe Symonds #4 (14-6-3)

Wilde, who has beaten just about everyone in the division, dabbled in a couple of bouts with BWs and only defended the WBA FLY belt once, late in the year, against Symonds, who captured the CBU belt earlier in the year. Wilde hopes to repeat his earlier success in a Dec. 1915 title bout versus the same opponent.

Wilde, the "Mighty Atom," is off the mark quickly, moving inside to catch Symonds with a quick shot. After Symonds gets up off the deck, Wilde swarms all over him and the bout ends quickly. Wilde at TKO 1.

USBA: Another repeat matchup from 1915 has champ Frankie Mason defending against the man he beat for the crown, Young Zulu Kid. Mason makes a good start, pounding away early and Kid shows signs of swelling around the left eye by the end of round 2. Mason corners Kid in round 5, landing repeated blows to the point that ref Harry Ertle has no choice but to step in and stop it. Mason by TKO 5.

CBU: Champ Bill Ladbury puts the belt on the line against Joe Symonds and Symonds takes advantage early as Ladbury walks into a hook in round one. Symonds presses home the attack and ends the bout with another big hook late in round two. Symonds by KO 2 to win the belt.

GBU: Tancy Lee defended twice during the year, first versus aging vet Percy Jones who lasted the distance but suffered a split lip and had no response to Lee's relentless pressure. Lee by UD 12 (119-106 on all three cards). TC Barry Fall was Lee's next victim, and Fall fell in two. Lee by KO 2.

EBU: The initial bout was held for the European FLY belt, and matched together were GBU champ Lee and former champ Sid Smith. Lee once again was off to a quick start, nailing Smith with a strong combination in the first round. In round two, Lee finished it off with a devastating cross that put Smith down for the count. Lee by KO 2.
