SAN FRANCISCO (® — Middle- weight Champion Sugar Ray Rob- inson started his series of monthly title fights by decisively defeat- ing Carl (Bobo) Olson, Honolulu, Thursday night. The tap-dancing master of the 160-pound division had to travel at top speed to score a 15-round decision over his younger rival. He next defends against Rocky Graziano in Chicago April 16 and his title from Randy Turpin of Eng- land last September had slowed him down. Proceeds went to the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund. Robinson contributed purse, except $1. He said it was “as tough a battle as I ever had.” A crowd of 10,033 paid $63,053 to see the fight. Robinson 157% pounds; Olson, 159%. The champion was a prohibitive fa- vorite, with odds of 1 to 10 quoted and apparently no takers, It was the 135th fight in Rob- imson’s great ring career. He knocked-out Olson in October of 1950 in-12 rounds at Philadelphia but could not come close to such a finish Thursday night. The 31-year-old champion wasn’t damaged Thursday night, but neither was his opponent. Olson called Robinson, “the hardest, sneakiest, sharpest fight er” he’s ever met.
