kidwilliams

Kid Williams (1893-1963) was born John Gutenko in Copenhagen, Denmark. His family immigrated to the United States in 1904, settling in Baltimore, Maryland. He began his professional career there in 1910, at the age of 16, with a fifth-round KO of Shep Farren. In 1914, he took the Bantamweight World Championship title from boxer Johnny Coulon, knocking him out in the third round of a scheduled twenty-round bout held at Vernon, California. He lost the title to Pete Herman in 1917. Williams' boxing career continued until 1929, finally totalling more than 200 bouts, of which he won 156. Kid Williams at the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Box Rec bout list.

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.
