Young Nacionalista won the featherweight championship of the Orient at the Olympic Stadium last night by scoring a clean knock-out upon Kid Johnson, the Ioilo flash, in the first round of a scheduled 12-round battle.
Johnson did not land a single blow.
The fight lasted less than 30 seconds, Nacionalista wading and plastering" the Kid with terrific punch before Johnson was able to get started.
Johnson is himself known as one of the hardest-hitting men ever produced by the Philippines, but during the past few months he has developed a vulnerable "glass jaw" which cost him victories om his recent Australian tour and temporarily robbed him of feather title when Willie Gord of Seattle knocked him out fashion similar to last nigh though Johnson subsequently beat Gordon.—United Press 5
