  • @bleewicket

    The first fighter you see Robinson boxing with is Andy Nonella.

    The second figher is Carl "Bobo" Olsen.

    The Nonella fight was was the lightweight final for the 1939 Golden Gloves tournament.

    Robinson floored him within 60 seconds of the 1st round, Nonella got up but Robinson won the fight easily.

    Sugar Ray Robinson fought and beat "Bobo" Olsen three times near the end of his career.

  • I read this book. I enjoyed it. Especially the learning about Robinson`s standing in Harlem and what was going on during those times.

  • Mr. Haygood, I read your book. It was great! Who are the people you talk to in this video? And who is Sugar Ray fighting in those old film clips? Congrats on a great book.

  • Thanks for the video, I plan on buying the book.

  • There was only one sugar, sugar ray robinson!!

  • Interesting video and insight from Haygood. Sugar Ray was truly the greatest.
