Montanez Tips Bobby Pacho In Ten Round Tiff NEW YORK, March 24 (U.S) Temporarily balked at getting a crack at the lightweight title, Pedro MoTitanez of Puerto Rico, current sensation of New York's small clubs, loomed today as a likely challenger for Barney Ross' welterweight championship in the first big match of the outdoor out-door season. Montanez strengthened his claim as a challenger in both divisions di-visions last night by giivng Bob-! by Pacho, California Mexican, a thorough going over before a , packed house of 7,000 at the St. : Nicholas arena. The whirlwind attack at-tack of the Puerto Rican won him every round and the unanimous 10-round decision of the referee and two judges. Montanez weigh- ed 133:',, Pacho 136. The receipts were estimated at $10,000. . Juoohs Praises Promoter Mike Jacobs, scouting for new talent for the outdoor season, watched Montanez rip Pacho apart for eight rounds, and said: "What else does a guy need to be champion?" Pacho, who had Tony Canzoneri on the floor and fought two close 10-round bouts with Barney Ross, couldn't do anything with the slashing Puerto Rican. "Canzoneri or Ross may outsmart out-smart him," commented Pacho afterwards, "but they can't throw as many punches as fast as he can. I never could get a good shot at him." Twelfth Straight It was . Montanez's twelfth straight victory since he made his first haUle here in October. He has scored seven decisions and five knockouts. Named as one of the three outstanding challengers for the lightweight title, Montanez Mon-tanez withdrew from an elimination elimina-tion tournament planned by the New York commission among himself, him-self, Lou Ambers, Herkimer, N.
