son, scored his fourth victory over
Olson with astonishing suddenness.
In the last minute of the fourth
round he tagged 27-year-old Bobo
with right-hand lead and followed
it with a crushing left hook to the
side of the head. 1t dumped Bobo
backward to the canvas.
Olson lay twisting and rolling
on the deck while referee Mushy
Callahan tolled 10 over him amid
the roaring of some 1900 fans
at Wrigley Field.
Olson, who weighed in at exactly
the middleweight limit of 100 lbs,
made a desperate effort to get up
and continue the free-for-all for
free. Both of their purses have
been tied up by the law - but got
no farther than a sitting position.
At the count of four he rolled
over his face dull with pain and
then sat up, but at 2:51 of the
round Callahan shouted the fatal
10.
Robinson, razor-sharp at 159 Y
pounds, had command of the affair
from the opening bell. Fighting
with a half-smile on his face, he
stabbed Olson repeatedly with left
jabs and often found the mark
with his left hook over Bobo's
dropping right arm.
Bobo's habit of dropping his right
and leaving his face unguarded is
the same tactical failure that caus-
ed him to be knocked out by light
heavyweight champion Archie
Moore and by Robinson when he
took the middleweight crown back
from Olson via a second-round kayo
last December. -
This was the third time that
Robinson has knocked out Olson in
the four times they have FLASHED
in the ring.
Sugar Ray, the Harlem dancing
master, opened fast last week, car
rying out his promise to go all
out after Bobo right from the start
to avoid being forced to go the
full Is rounds.
Although he appeared to be tir-
ing slightly in the fourth, Robin
sons punches lost none of their
zest. Olson, who had said he would
try to avoid Robinson for five OF
six rounds and attempt to outlast
him, fought without inspiration, al
though he caught Robinson with

Veteran observers claimed that
