We are now into the top ten seeds...

Midget Wolgast (USA)(#10) V Jesus Chong (Mexico)(#55)

Olympia Athletic Club, Philadelphia

Wolgast (below) was an extremely quick individual who utilized nature's gift to earn a version of the Flyweight Championship of the World. He was a talented boxer with ring "savvy" who truly made a living at fighting - over 200 bouts during his career; His boxing skills, fast hands and fast feet made him a very elusive and dangerous adversary in the ring. Nat Fleischer rated him as the 8th all-time greatest Flyweight. Along the way he defeated Izzy Schwartz, Johnny McCoy, Black Bill, Speedy Dado, Little Pancho, Pete Sanstol and Small Montana.

Chong held NABF, WBO and WBF titles at Light Flyweight. Of his 32 victories 28 were by the way of stoppage. He recorded wins over Francisco Montiel, Cuauthemoc Gomez and Jorge Luis Roman.
