"Pat McMurtry, Tacoma, Wash., knocked out Carl (Bobo) Olson with a pulverizing right cross at 2:34 of the 2nd round of their scheduled 10 round bout here tonight. Olson opened strongly and won the 1st round on the cards of most ringside observers. After absorbing a few left jabs, Olson cut loose with a body attack, which he continued into the 2nd round. But McMurtry set up Olson with a sharp left jab, then finished him with a right, catching him cleanly on the jaw." -Associated Press
