Odds Favor Olson in Fight of Year
Chicago experts rate Bobo Olson the 4-4 favorite over Kid Gavilan in Friday’s Chicago Stadium bout for the welterweight crown. Weight advantage and Olson’s steady 160 pounds give him a clear edge, though Gavilan’s camp dismisses the odds as paper fighting. The bout pits two titlists with high opinions of their chances and the winner could be labeled the best fighter in the world by some observers.
