Hilo's 2nd Pro Fight Draws Small Crowd

Hilo—Henry Davis took a clear-cut verdict over Freddie Sylvano in Hilo's second pro fight, held in the Hilo armory before a little over 1000 fans, last Friday night. Honolulu Promoter Leo Leavitt's second Crescent city ef­fort fell below expectations. The fights drew a gross gate of $2,505.

The next pro card in Hilo is tentatively slated for September 10.

In copping the fight easily, Davis weighed 127 1/2 to Sylvano's 126 1/2. The scrap went 10 rounds, with Sad Sam Ichinose's dusky protege easily outboxing the Pepeekeo Filipino belter in nine of the 10 rounds, with sharp-shooting jabs and hooks.

Other results of the card were:

Jaime Basquez, 126 1/2 decisioned William Candido, 130.

Eddie Reyes, 121 1/2, TKO'd Al­fred Kalua, 126, of Hilo, fourth round.

Mike Ines, 128 3/4, decisioned Mamoru Hirota, 127 3/4.

Billy Bolilan, 117 3/4 decisioned Mokey Hanagami, 116 3/4.
