Middleweight Title: Super Middleweight

Montreal Gazette Dept: But he never forgot his roots, according to Montreal Gazette. They met again the following year, at the Canada winter Games in Brandon, Man., Fiacco hoping Hilton might have moved up in weight, disappointed to learn that wasn't the case and they were only kids back in 1978, the unlikeliest of competitors at the national amateur boxing championships in Whitehorse. Montreal's Davey Hilton would go on to turn pro, winning a world super-middleweight title. Pat Fiacco, from an inner city neighbourhood in Regina, would eventually launch a successful political career. "I remember this guy Hilton could hit," Fiacco, now on his fourth term as mayor of Regina, recalled over coffee Sunday morning. "He beat me on a split-decision in the semifinal. He won the championship. We stayed in touch and became good friends." As reported in the news.
