1920 FLY Title Bouts

WBA

Jimmy Wilde CH (37-3-1) vs Tancy Lee #2 (22-11-1)

Rematch of Dec. 1918 title bout won by Wilde, who has won both prior bouts. Lee is now at Post-Prime (turning age 38 in 1920) to put him at even a bigger disadvantage against ATG FLY Wilde.

After an uneventful opening round, Wilde asserts himself by moving inside to dominate the action in round two. Lee's left eye starts to swell by the end of the third, and the Mighty Atom takes charge in round four by landing a huge shot that puts Lee on the canvas. From then on, it's just a question of time, as Wilde follows up with a second KD in round five and two more in round six before the ref calls a halt. Wilde by TKO 6.

Jimmy Wilde CH (38-3-1) vs Frankie Mason #1 (27-12-1)

This is the third world title bout between the two, and Wilde has won the first two by TKO.

Midway through round one, Wilde connects with a perfect combination to send Mason to the canvas. Frankie comes back with a cautious round two, where he battles Wilde in an even round. It's a slight edge for the Champ, who pressures his opponent on the inside in round three. Wilde is cut above the right eye in round four. Mason sees his chance, and targets the cut. The cut is reopened in round six. After some good cornerwork, Wilde is good as new and responds by nailing Mason with a perfect cross that ends the bout by KO in round 7.

Jimmy Wilde CH (39-3-1) vs Johnny McCoy #6 (16-5)

First meeting of the two and first WBA title try for the youthful McCoy. Wilde is looking for his seventh straight win as his PP total has finally hit 1000.

After a slow start, Wilde moves inside in round two and pressures McCoy, who continues to keep the Champ off balance. Both mix it up in the inside in round three, a big mistake for McCoy who gets tagged by a big cross from Wilde, forcing McCoy to cover up to survive the round. Both work the outside in round four, where Wilde's superior hand speed makes the difference. Wilde presses forward in round five -- another close round; the unofficial ringside expert has it even, 48-48, at this point. McCoy takes it to Wilde on the inside in round six, scoring well to take the round. Wilde tries to apply more pressure, but is off target in round seven. Another close round in round 8, with Wilde pressing the action on the inside. Both try the inside in round 9, edge to Wilde. The bout is close (96-96 on the unofficial card) going into the final five rounds. McCoy defends well and takes a close round 11 and follows up with a strong 12th round as well. His title slipping away, Jimmy Wilde rallies in the final few rounds, punishing McCoy and causing his left eye to swell even further. It's a close bout and it comes down the scorecards -- Wilde keeps the belt via a MD 15 (146-142, 143-143, 145-141).

NABF: Young Zulu Kid defends the belt versus McCoy, who starts off with a band when he puts Kid on the deck for a 9-count in round one with a vicious combination. McCoy continues to build a points lead, but Kid rallies in the later rounds to escape with a SD 12 verdict. Late in the year, Kid took on rugged veteran Earl Puryear, and the result was another close bout, also going down as a SD 12 for Young Zulu Kid.

USBA: No title defenses by Frankie Mason in 1920.

CBU: Sid Smith defended versus a youthful Australian challenger, George Mendies, and Mendies took charge immediately with a strong uppercut that put Smith on the deck in the opening stanza. Smith never recovered, and Mendies swarmed all over the aging ex-Champ to gain the belt via a TKO 2 stoppage.

GBU, EBU: No activity for either of these two title belts, held by the aging veteran Tancy Lee.
