Edit: See edits below for correct identifications. Frankie "Young Britt" Pacheco was a boxer in the 1910s (here and here.). He was arrested for manslaughter on January 1st, 1919, in Boston, following the death in the ring the previous night of his opponent, a boxer who went by the name of Terry McGovern (New York Times article.) I haven't been able to find out what happened after that. I haven't been able to identify the Williams in the photo. EDIT: It turns out that there were two boxers fighting under the name Young Britt during the 1910s. The Frankie "Young Britt" Pacheco (born 1895) in my earlier comment apparently used the name Frankie Britt for most of his career. Here's his BoxRec bout list under that name. As can be seen, his career continued after the unfortunate death of Terry McGovern. The other Young Britt was a bantamweight named Henry Treffinger, born in 1890, whose career lasted from 1906 until 1916 (BoxRec bout list.) The Williams in the photo might be Kid Williams (aka John Gutenko), a bantamweight who was active in the ring from 1910-1929, but I can't find any evidence that he ever fought either of the Young Britts. Additional Edit: See comments on this photo of the same boxers for more about their correct identities (Kid Williams, aka John Gutenko, and Young Britt, aka Henry Treffinger.) This is not Frankie "Young Britt" Pacheco.
