"Carl (Bobo) Olson said, "He takes a good punch, but I can beat him anywhere except his hometown." Olson, the former middleweight champion, made that comment today about the draw decision in his 10 round bout with Giulio Rinaldi of Italy Friday night. The crowd of 10,000 agreed with Olson, and booed the decision lustily. There were no knockdowns, but Rinaldi, the European light heavyweight champion, had a badly swollen eye at the end." -Associated Press
