	Eliza Olson's Bio
		Olson goes back another generation, taking her cue from her grandfather, former world middleweight champion Carl "Bobo" Olson -- "The Hawaiian Swede." A long-running middleweight and light heavyweight staple in the 1950s, Olson was a 5-10 scrapper who fought Sugar Ray Robinson four times, losing each time.
		Olson isn't just a throw-in, but sometimes she feels like one, given the maddening politics that have greeted her.
		Bobo had skills and he had tricks, like the feigned uppercut that never caught opponents on the chin but instead nailed them in the sternum with an elbow, the kind of breath-sucking body blow that opened up a guy for a knockout right hook.

		Bobo was one of my favourite fighters of the 1950s, the decade when I first became intrigued by what then seemed a magical world of boxing, when the top fighters had a larger-than-life quality.
		Olson was fighting light-heavies and even heavyweights in the closing years of his career, but he was still beating world-class opponents well into his 30s.
		Olson successfully defended the title three times in 1954, the most significant being a 15-round decision in Chicago over Kid Gavilan, the great “Cuban Hawk” who held the welterweight title and was moving up a division.

		When Bobo Olson was a 15-year-old in Hawaii he was so keen to be a professional fighter that he had his arms tattooed and shaved his chest every day to make the hair grow faster—all so he would look old enough to get a fighter's license.
		On good-natured impulse, he took a lei from his own neck and draped it over the neck of the startled Gavilan, then walked to his corner to await the opening bell.
		In the ninth round infighting, Olson butted Gavilan with his head, opened a cut on the Cuban's right cheekbone.

		Fresno, California’s Olson, granddaughter of all-time middleweight great Carl “Bobo” Olson, enjoyed a marked advantage in strength and used it to rough up Sanders and land the heavier blows throughout.
		Olson’s clubbing counter right hands and head-snapping uppercuts were her major weapons and she landed them repeatedly.
		Though the fight was difficult to score in a few rounds, where perhaps Sanders busier hands caught the eyes of the officials more than Olson’s more effective punching, for two of the Michigan judges to say that Olson won just 2 and 3 rounds is grounds enough for a do-over.
