Comments: Lee is at Post; Villa, Buff and Smith at Pre; rest at Prime. Symonds won all four of his bouts during the year, bouncing back from a subpar 1929 with a TKO over Little Jeff Smith before moving up to win three title bouts. Wilde lost two in a row for the first time ever, dropping a UD 10 to BW Abe Goldstein but then TKOing Joe Fox for the GBU BW belt. Villa's rise has been well-documented, as the KO 1 over aging vet Sid Smith set up the WBA title try. Buff made huge strides, winning his last four, including SD wins versus McCoy and Puryear in addition to the USBA and NABF title wins. Young Zulu Kid won one of three during the year, all title bouts. Mendies had an up-and-down year, going 1-1 in the two CBU title bouts. Lee lost both bouts in 1921. Mason dropped the USBA title bout to Buff and suffered a TKO loss to BW Goldstein to go 0-2 for the year. McCoy went 2-3 for the year, the wins coming via TKO over Puryear and a MD versus BW Biderberg ("Louisiana"), but he lost to two other BWs, Frankie Burns and Frankie Conley. Little Jeff Smith debuts, but four straight losses in 1921, three to Filipino Young Dencio, prevented further progress. Puryear continued on a downhill slide, losing four in a row to extend his losing streak to eight in a row.

Prospects: Young Dencio lost only to Villa but scored three wins (two by SD) versus Little Jeff Smith. Dencio finished the year at 11-1-1 (5). Pinky Silverberg kept his slate clean, going 11-0 (6), all versus TCs. UK's Elky Clark compiled a 9-0-1 (8) mark, all wins coming versus TC and the draw coming versus BW Midget Smith. Willie LaMorte (8-0, 7 KOs) and Cuban Black Bill (7-0, 5 KOs) feasted versus TC opposition. Frankie Genaro bounced back from an early loss to wind up 6-1 (6) at year's end. Georgie Rivers got off to a 3-0 (2) career start.

Retirement: Ex-WBA Champ Sid Smith reach the end of his career in 1921.

Sid Smith (UK) 1907-21 27-22 (11) WBA Champ

Looking Ahead: Wilde remains a good bet to regain the title, although Villa and Buff (once they hit Prime) are also going to be strong contenders. Look for Mendies to regain the CBU belt, while Lee is likely to fade from contention. Dencio and Silverberg are the best of the prospects. The thin FLY ranks get a needed boost with nine newcomers in 1922, paced by Newsboy Brown.
