Pancho Villa (#2) V Jackie Jurich (#34)

Quezon City, Metro Manilla

Villa (left) was an explosive and relentless fighter who hit hard with both fists, fighting in the fashion of a "miniature" Jack Dempsey. Many consider him to be the greatest Asian fighter ever. Among those he defeated were Johnny Buff, Abe Goldstein, Terry Martin, Jimmy Wilde, Benny Schwartz, Georgie Marks, Bud Taylor, and Clever Sencio. Villa died of blood poisoning from an infected tooth 10 days after his last fight.Nat Fleischer ranked Villa as the #2 All-Time Flyweight. He was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1961 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1994.

Jurich fought 84 times through his career and held the American Flyweight Title. He stopped only 18 men for his 62 wins and fought Manuel Ortiz, Lou Salica, Little Dado and Small Montana amongst others.
