About this person
John Gutenko was an Austro-Hungarian-born American boxer of Danish, Ukrainian and Polish heritage who fought under the name Kid Williams and was known as the Baltimore Tiger. He knocked out Johnny Coulon in Vernon, California, on June 9, 1914. This victory earned him the Bantamweight Championship world title. In 1970, Johnny Gutenko was inducted into The Ring magazine’s Boxing Hall of Fame after being nominated “by the sports editors, boxing writers, and television sportscasters.” At the time, the magazine’s founder Nat Fleischer ranked him number three among bantamweights. However, the website AinsworthSports.com rated him number one for the 1910 decade. Over twenty years later, he would be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Coincidentally, the ceremony occurred in Canastota, New York, on June 9, 1996, the 82nd anniversary of him winning the bantamweight title.
