New York, Feb. 28.
Werther Arcelli created a major upset to-night by gaining the decision from Bobby Pacha, one of the leading United States welterweights, in eight rounds.
The Boston fighter, who is not even ranked in the same division as the Los Angeles battler, displayed great aggressiveness to win. Pacha, a veteran of the ring, recently drew with Ralph Zannelli, outstanding welterweight of Boston, although many thought the West Coast scrapper should have garnered the verdict.
Arcelli, who weighed 145%, was on the short end of the odds but he followed up his recent fine performances with yet another powerful display. Pacha weighed 148%.—United Press.
