The Boxer Who Socked America: Pancho Villa

"Today, we remember and reflect on the athletes in Filipino history who died before they could truly realize what they were capable of.   And who better to have as our focus than the Filipino boxer sharing the name of a famous Mexican revolutionary? Before Manny Pacquiao, before Onyok Velasco, Leopoldo Serantes and Anthony Villanueva, there was Pancho Villa.   Pancho Villa lives on in the annals of World Boxing, considered to be of one of most formative and iconic Asian Boxers in World History, some even calling him the greatest Asian Fighter ever. This is his glory. And this is his tragedy."   ... Sources and music credit can be found at www.wipincph.com/yugto ...
