PACHO TO GET
GENUINE TEST
FRIDAY NIGHT

Just how good Bobby Pacho is,
whether he has the stuff that will
enable him to go up the pugilistic
ladder and minglc with the cham
pions, or drop down to the pork
and bean class, will be decided Fri
day night when the popular valley
boxer gets his first big time" start
with Ignacio Fernandez as his op-
ponent.
This is the toughest bout Bobby
has faced. Only six months ago
Fernandez was fighting for the
featherweight championship of the
world, with Bat Battalino, the pres
ent champ, as his opponent. Fer
nandez might now be champion
himself had conditions under which
he fought Battalino been different,
The Filipino never had chance
to take the title from Bat, who was
fighting in his home town, with a
home town referee and the oppor-
tunity to "get away with murder"
Fernandez may have slipped some
but he has not gone back very far
in six months, and he proved it by
knocking out Bobby Reister few
months ago.
He has a Knockout decision over
Al Singer, former champion in the
lightweight class, and among other
scrappers he has had on the floor
are such boys as Fidel La Barba
Dixie La Hood, Bud Taylor, joey
Sanger and Mike O'Dowd-a tough
bunch.
Fernandez will weigh 1873 pounds
for the Friday night bout, giving
him a three pound advantage over
Pacho. The Filipino is fast, shifty
with cool head, and as might be
expected from the list mentioned
above, he packs wallop.
Pacho has the advantage of youth
strength and the ambition to get
ahead in his chosen game. Bobby
can hit. When he hits them they
know something has happened. He
is not the worlds best boxer nor has
he any speed to burn, but he is a
rugged two-fisted puncher, game tc
the core and fit opponent for any
boy of his weight.
Andy Armstrong is going to get q
chance to meet Bobby James, the
Canadian champ, in the semi-final
James was prevented from keeping
previous engagement with Andy
SO the latter proceeded to knock ou1
the substitute sent into the rims
with him, and promises to do the
same thing to Bobby.
Two good preliminaries have beer
arranged and the first bout will b'
called at $50, the new hour o
starting the boxing matches.
