Pancho Villa Fights in LA
January 31, 1920 -- Los Angeles: Unbeaten FLY prospect Pancho Villa fights on the undercard in Los Angeles, taking on winless TC Oscar Sewall, who enters the 8-rounder with a 0-4-1 career record as compared to the unbeaten 5-0 career start of Villa.
First round, Sewall retreats to the neutral corner, and Villa nails him with a solid left. Villa quickly follows with a left, a right, and another left. Some fancy footwork by Villa, then he connects with an uppercut that lands right on the button. A cross scores for Villa, who then pours it on even more with a hook to the head, then a right cross. Sewall tries to cover up, but Villa shoots a jab, then doubles up on his punches. Sewall is taking a real beating and shows no sign of fighting back. At 2:41 of the first, the ref saves him from further punishment, and it's a TKO win for Villa.
The win moves Villa to 6-0 (4 by KO) worth 401 PPs. He is slated to take a couple of months off before resuming his career in April.
