Imperial Valley press., 1930-04-12
By BOB ALLEN

A really bangup card was pre-
sented to the fans at the arena last
night, featured by two knockouts
one of which came with such sud
denness as to leave the spectators
rather stunned. Go,ne real fightii.g
was put on for a change and the
fans saw some clever head and foot
work together with plenty Of slug
ging. The boys meant business last
night and did not lose much time
in fussing about, but got right down
to work.
The main event brought Bobby
Pacho, the valleys idol, against a
newcomer i'll these parts, Kid Payo,
of Bakersfield. The visitor brought
an imposing record with him, but
Bobby who seems to care nothing
for records or vaunted prowess in
an opponent, proceeded to take his
measure and finally added him to
the lengthening string of kayoes he
is compiling. At the opening gong,
Bobby got right down to business
and decided to make the event
short one. He got his old straight
left working like a champion and
kept sticking it into Payo's face
until the Kids nose and face began
to get raw and ruddy. Bobby found
this mark with startling regularity
and did not give Payo an opportun-
ity to get himself set for any dam
aking punch.
The second round saw the end of
the matter. Bobby straight,lefted
Payo about the ring until the lat
ter got past the guard and landed
two rights to the head. That was
enough. From then on Payo saw
more gloves coming lis way than
he imagined couftl be possible. Bob
by got him up against the ropes and
clouted him first to the head then
in the stomach and when Payo could
get his guard neither up nor down,
the blows coming in too quickly
for him to dodge them, he took one
final sock on the jaw and slid to
the canvas. When Pavo went down
the fans got up and started to leave
even before the count was finished
for they know that when Bobby LAYS
'em on the floor they generally stay
there and do not need relaving. The
kayo came just minutes and A
seconds after the round had open
cd. Bobby's blows did not travel
any great distance and they did
not appear to be extra heavy, but
they packed dynamite and the final
wallop was good enough to kayo
anybody.
No Contest Declared
Homer gaines Of CalcXico and
Sammy Santos of the Philippines
put on 10 round return match of
their bout last Friday night and
gave the fans plenty Of action and
furnished new wrinkle when the
fight was declared no contest in
the sixth round because OF an in
jury to both fighters. Sammy start
ed right out for blood and had
Homer on the jump to keep away
from the vicious swings that were
coming his way. Gaines however,
stopped Sammy's rush in short or
der and from then on until the
finish the bout was pretty even.
Homer went down for a count of
five in the third session and when
he got up Sammy was all over him
trying TO finish him, but Homer
fought out of it, trading blow for
blow. 1t sure looked like one of
those things for while but Homer
STAYED off defeat.
In the sixth round while over
against the ropes, both boys bumped
each other. Homer getting it on
the right thigh, and Santos on the
left thigh. The fighters Immediate
i, " started limping about the ring
and referee Tfckett assisted Santos,
who seemed to feel the effects of
the accident more than Homer. The
|, latter however showed plenty of
worry over it, went to his corner
! and tried to get himself into condi-
tion TO continue the quarrel. Santos
