Welsh dynamo Jimmy Wilde finally proves he is the World's best flyweight by bludgeoning Joe Symonds of Plymouth, which was a hotbed of fistic action in the early 20th Century.
Wilde lost his claim to being the best when outlasted by a game Tancy Lee, though it was said afterward that Wilde was flu stricken.
These highlights show was a nifty and tricky trapsmith Wilde was. Symonds, after stopping Tancy Lee, was the man to beat in the still developing Flyweight class. Not content with having decisioned him beforehand, Wilde takes the flyweight crown with an intelligently violent display, punching the much larger man to a standstill.
