Felipe 'The Flash' Torres ~ 'A Good West-Coast Kid'

[Bill Paxtom]

Jimmy Robertson vs. Felipe Torres

Thursday ~ May 20, 1971

"Robertson Jabs His Way To Decision"

It was expected to be an evenly matched bout, and a dangerous fight for
the Olympic house fighter - Jimmy Robertson to take.

But Jimmy came out quickly, and used a variety of punches to stall any attacks
from Felipe Torres.

Jimmy {135 1/2 lbs.} won a surprisingly easy 10-Round Decision over the normally
tough Felipe Torres {134 lbs.}.

From Round 3 and on, Jimmy used an assortment of left-hands to baffle Felipe.

By the 8th Round, Felipe was hopelessly behind, and only Felipe's courage prevented
him from being KO'd over the last 2-Rounds.
