Quarter Final - Bout 4

Benny Lynch (#20) V Pascual Perez (#3)

Hampden Park, Glasgow

The 'Kid from the Gorbals' held the Scottish, British, European and World Flyweight titles. He won World tilte bouts against Jackie Brown, Small Montana and Peter Kane before forfeiting the title due to weight. He died at the age of 33. Lynch (left) was inducted into the IBHOF in 1998.

Tokyo Won SD 12 Yoko Gushiken (1-0-0) - Round 2

Perez (right) was a terrific hitter on a short frame. Shorter than most of his opponents, he usually hammered them down to size. He lost only 7 times in 92 contests and had win streaks of 51 bouts and 28 bouts. During his career, Pasqual won the Flyweight Championship of the World. In doing so, he became the first World Champion from Argentina.
