Bobo Olson 176 lbs beat Jose Menno 175 lbs by UD in round 10 of 10

"Carl (Bobo) Olson, using the same relentless body attack that carried him to the middleweight title 10 years ago, Monday night hammered out an easy 10-round decision over game but outclassed Jose Menno of Argentina. Although now 35 years old, Olson was in command throughout as he looped his patented left hook at the mid-section and alternated the attack with rights to the head. Bobo's biggest round came in the 8th when he blasted a right-left-right combination to the head of Menno who sagged into a sitting position on the middle rope near his corner. But the Argentine moved back in and resumed his hopeless attempts to get in a good punch." -United Press International

  • Unofficial UPI scorecard - 7-1 Olson
  • Attendance - 2,818
  • Gate - $13,568
  • Menno's purse: $2,698
  • Olson's purse: $3,598. However, Olson had been experiencing tax problems for some time and the IRS took 25% of his purse as well as the State of California, that took $992. Also, two liens were applied to the purse by former associates. One for $800 and the other for $1,650. So it is unclear what Olson actually saw from this fight.
