VILLA GOES ON
WITH WILDE IN
NEW YORK RING
Clever Filipino Flyweight and
British Champion Will
Fight Tomorrow.
NEW YORK. June 15—(By the
Associated Press.) l’ancho Villa,
horn Francisco Guilledo, the tiny Fil
ipino who will meet Jimmy Wilde
the Welshman in a fifteen-round con
test at the Polo Grounds tomorrow
in an attempt'To win Wilde’s world
flyweight title. Is one of the greatest
little warriors the ring game has
known.
The terror of all the youths In
his native island home of Iloilo, in
the Philippines Villa was fashioned
Into a boxer in 1018 by an American
patron of the game of fisticuffs.
Villa was then 17 years old. Ho
entered the professional game in the
Philippines in 1919, and for three
years he fought without losing a sin
gle contest.
His early opponents were bantams
in four and six round bouts. Terri
ble Pondong. the ugliest and heaviest
hitting little man in the Islands;
Stiff Irlueo and Battling Uaioarinc
two of the smartest bantams, were
unable to defeat Villa. Bulharino
tried no less than ten times, and
the best he ever got was a draw.
George Mendres, the Australian fly
weight title-holder, was knocked out
by Villa in three rounds in 1921.
Villa has had unusual success in
the United States. He knocked out
tile veteran Johnny Huff in the elev
enth round of a terrific mill in
Brooklyn last September and won
the American fly-weight title Hut
he |dst this Hit of treasure several
months later to Frankie Genaro, New
York Italian. Genaro and Villa
fought toe to .toe for fifteen rounds,
and Genaro was awarded the judge's
decision. Some newspaper boxing ex
perts declared, however, that Villa
should have received the verdict.
Villa lost hut two contests before
coming to the United States, one a
decision to Francisco Concepcion
in four rounds, and one a foul to
Eddie Moore. Genaro was the only
man to draw an official decision
over the Filipino in this country.
Villa's ' fighting weight is 110
pounds. He is a tireless, offensive
fighter with a strong punch In either
right, or left. His best work has
been done at close quarters.
