Eulogio Villaruel Tingson (born January 16, 1912, in Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines) better known as Little Pancho was a Filipino boxer who competed in boxing from 1927 to 1942 and was a former CSAC Bantamweight and World Flyweight title challenger, he was also the younger half-brother of Pancho Villa, his managers includes Manuel Eloriago and Jerry Zukor.

Professional career Early years Little Pancho has fought many great Filipino boxers, such as Joe Mendiola, Pablo Dano, Cris Pineda and Young Tommy during the early points of their careers, Little Pancho suffered his first KO loss against Little Moro whom beat him via 9th Round KO, Little Pancho was entirely fighting at the Philippines during his early years and as he leave the Philippines with a record of 30 victories, 5 losses and 8 draws, he was ready to make a debut in the US.

Fighting in the US On March 18, 1932, Pancho made his debut in the US by taking on big-time boxer, Midget Wolgast in Honolulu, where the bout ended in a Unanimous decision win for Wolgast, the decision led the Filipinos to boycott in Honolulu, which caused Pancho and Wolgast to have a rematch where it ended in a tie. Furthermore, he has fought fighters like Joe Tei Ken, Eugène Huat, Ernie Hood, Augie Curtis and former NBA champion (now known as WBA) and gold medalist, Frankie Genaro.

Pancho vs. Farber Little Pancho had one unfortunate event as he fought against Lew Farber on June 15, 1934, the bout ended in a tie and has made $1700, which was good for the time and a small town like Watsonville, California, supposedly they were to take another match on the 29th of June of the same year, but when both fighters discovered that the attendance was under 300, they both "ran out".

Return to the Philippines Little Pancho fought more great Filipino boxers as he returns to the Philippines, such as Star Frisco, Buenaventura De Guzman, Joe Mendiola, Cris Pineda, Little Dado and olympian, José Villanueva. In addition, he also won the Orient bantamweight title against Star Frisco, Orient junior featherweight title against Joe Eagle, Oriental bantamweight title against Joe Mendiola, Little Pancho lost the Orient bantamweight title against Cris Pineda and also lost the Orient junior featherweight title against Buenaventura De Guzman.

Return to the US Pancho vs. Moreno Little Pancho returned in the US by taking on Henry Moreno at Honolulu, but the bout ended in a No contest as both were tossed for putting up a poor effort, they both had a rematch which ended in a draw.

Championships Little Pancho faced Cris Crispin in a 8-rounder match for the USA Hawaii State bantamweight title which Pancho had success in securing the victory and the title, Pancho battle against more big-time fighters, such as Horace Mann, Louis Salica, Henry Hook and Tony Olivera before winning the American flyweight title against Jackie Jurich. On June 17, 1940, Little Pancho met Little Dado for the 5th time as they fight for the World flyweight championship, despite trying their best to secure the title, no one won as the bout ended in a draw. Little Pancho made his final championship bout as he takes on Tony Olivera for the second time for the CSAC bantamweight title, but Little Pancho was unfortunate.

Late years After losing to Tony Olivera for the CSAC title, Little Pancho began to be less fortunate and weakened, as he only won 1 bout out of the fights between the Tony Olivera fight and his last fight against Manuel Ortiz, he also had a bout where his foe, Luis Castillo was sidelined due to Appendicitis, the fight was ruled a TKO win for Castillo, and after losing to Ortiz, he stopped from competing in boxing on 1942 and battled in World War II.
