Timeline

1943

Bernabe Villacampo (Filipinas June 11, 1943-June 4, 2022) was a Philippine boxer who took the WBA World Flyweight Championship in a fifteen round Unanimous Decision on October 19, 1969 against Japanese boxer Hiroyuki Ebihara at the Prefectural Gymnasium, in Osaka, Japan.

Villacampo's business manager was Lope Sarreal Jr. A strong puncher, he knocked out opponents in 40% of the matches he won.

Villacampo started out as a vendor selling ice drops, rice puffs, and newspapers.

Hawking newspapers and working as vendors were common part time professions for young boxers, and a frequent trade of American boxers in the early twentieth century.

At 19, he started boxing as an amateur in tournaments representing his school, the University of Visayas, to supplement the paltry living he made as a vendor.

1962

Between August 1962 and July 1965 he fought mostly in Cebu, Philippines, his hometown, or occasionally on the Philippine's big island, Luzon.

He won fourteen of his first nineteen fights during this period.

1963

By the time he turned twenty in 1963, he was clearly competing as a professional.

1967

Moving up in recognition and the level of his competition, he scored an upset sixth round knockout against Japanese boxer Katsuyoshi Takayama on November 6, 1967, in Okayama, Japan.

1968

On May 15, 1968, he fought a twelve round draw for the Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) Flyweight Championship against Tsuyoshi Nakamura in Tokyo, Japan.

On November 10, 1968, he made an unsuccessful attempt at the WBC Flyweight Championship against Chartchai Chionoi.

He lost in a fifteen round Unanimous Decision in Bangkok, Thailand.

Chionoi immediately announced his retirement after the win, his fourth title defense, stating, "I am tired of the fightgame and feel sick and unwell."

1969

He took the WBA World Flyweight Championship in a fifteen round unanimous decision on October 19, 1969 against Japanese boxer Hiroyuki Ebihara at the Prefectural Gymnasium, in Osaka, Japan.

He stunned the enthusiastic Japanese crowd in Osaka by claiming the title against the heavy hometown favorite.

While still champion on December 14, 1969 he was defeated in a non-title fight by Masao Oba in a ten round unanimous decision in Tokyo, Japan.

In another honor, Villacampo was named fighter of the month by the World Boxing Association in December 1969.

1970

On February 7, 1970, in a non-title fight in Manila he won a ten round unanimous decision against Raton Mojica of Nicaragua.

In his first title defense, he lost the WBA World Flyweight Championship in a close fifteen round split decision on April 5, 1970 against Thai boxer Berkrerk Chartvanchai in Bangkok, Thailand.

The loss dropped Villacampo to third in the World ratings.

As the Philippines was and had been an American protectorate, many American papers covered Villacampo's loss, though in short paragraphs, with minimal detail.

In a close bout, the Associated Press had the scoring 73-70 for Chartvanchai.

Chartvanchai used primarily body punches and solid defense to take the title.

He made Villicampo miss repeatedly and scored frequently with blows to the torso.

In the eighth he opened a cut above Villacampo's eye that bothered his opponent throughout the remainder of the bout.

One source noted "Villicampo...was the more aggressive but could not land telling blows."

Many of Chartvanchai's best scoring punches were quick strikes to the torso after breaking out of clinches.

On December 21, 1970, he entered a WBA Flyweight Title Elimination tournament.

In one of his most important contests, he lost a Split Decision against future 3-time world champion Betulio Gonzalez of Venezuela in Caracas.

Gonzalez was the Venezuelan Flyweight Champion at the time.

Had Villacampo won the bout, he would probably have had the opportunity to meet Japanese Flyweight World Title Holder Masao Ohba for the title the following year.

1971

On May 13, 1971, he outpointed Beaver Kajimoto in a ten round bout in Tokyo, Japan.

1974

Chionoi did not retire and fought on to win the title two more times before finally retiring in 1974.

Chionoi survived his boxing career, though suffers from Parkinson's in his retirement.

1976

On January 31, 1976, he lost to Rolando Navarette, in a second round TKO in Cebu, Philippines.

1977
