Visit 2nd Round KO Wins Title for Robinson CHICAGO, Dec. 9 (<4P) —Sugar Hay Robinson rolled back the years and summoned one swift burst of violence from his youth to knock out Carl (Bobo) Olson in 2:51 of the second round tonight to become the fi: the world middleweight title. The Sugar Man from Harl the age of 35, suddenly burst into furious action in the second round with a rain of punches. A right uppercut was the final blow that dropped Olson flat on his back. Baldish Bobo, who won the crown in an elimination series after Robinson "retired” in 1952, rolled over on one side and then the other as Referee Frank Sikora rolled off the count of 10. Just after the fatal count, Olson began to climb slowly to his feet, but it was too late. Ray's Corner Jubilant Robinson’s jubilant corner crew, bolstered by others from his en tourage of managers, trainer, po lice and handlers, hoisted him in to the air and toted him suround the ring in their excitement. They held him up for several seconds as the crowd buzzed with excite ment at the Chicago Stadium. It was the second time Robin son had knocked out Olson and the third time he had beaten the Hawaiian-born mauler from San Francisco. Olson also was flat tened earlier this year, on June 22, when he ventured over his head into ' Archie Moore’s light heavyweight division. Perhaps he still was gushy from the Moore debacle. Rematch Possibility Although no rematch contract was filed with the Illinois Ath letic Commission, Truman Gib-: son, secretary of the Intenihtional Boxing Club, said the two fighters had signed contracts for another bout in 90 days if Olson should lose. In the first round, Olson Waded in to rake Robinson’s body with left hooks, taking the same chances he took against Moore— leading with his right. Olson Rocked In the final seconds of the first round, Robinson caught Bobo near the ropes with a flashy left-right combination. As - Olson broke away from the ropes he appeared dazed and wobbled slightly. Sugar Ray drove home a long right lead just before the bell. Both judges, Ed Hintz and John Bray, gave that first round to Robinson, 10-9, and Referee Si kora called it even, 10-10. The AP had Robinson on top, 10-9, in that one completed round. It was a sensational comeback for Robinson, once ruler of both the welter and the middleweight classes. He, too, had made thf mistake of moving up to the light heavy class to box Joey Maxim, then champion, and suf fered a 14-round TKO on a steam ing June night in 1952. ptwwwwMMfl SATURDAY.
