@bill Paxton, I try to spread your knowledge to @Master and you call me fat, you know I like your historical threads.

I apologize, as I misinterpreted your response.

No problem, it's all good

You're a good man Mr. Walrus..........

No he is not. He is pro-terrorism and I will never forgive him and his ilk for 1776.

Bill you need to start a thread about that travesty. I am sure Ali's ancestors were linked to the plot against the English.

Master what do you care about 1776.. Your ancestors was still in Punjab at that time. Why don't you discuss Amritsar?

Triple 'B',

The Referee was Buddy Basilico who did a magnificent job as the Third-Man in the Ring.

He was 'not' a scoring Official in this bout.

I have watched this bout several times, and I had it a 'Draw' { 96-96 } or 4-4-2 in Rounds.

My Score
Jimmy Young ............ 5 - 4 - 4 - 5 - 5 --- 5 - 4 - 5 - 4 - 5 = { 96 }
Ossie Ocasio ............. 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 4 --- 4 - 5 - 4 - 5 - 4 = { 96 }

looks like Ozzy already took the early lead and did a good psych job on Jimmy young

[Bill Paxtom]

looks like Ozzy already took the early lead and did a good psych job on Jimmy young

Triple 'B'

Ossie Ocasio had a very good corner.
* Johnny Tocco > {Johnny Tocco's Gym in Las Vegas}
* Bill Prezant > {Top Trainer from New Jersey}
* Archie 'Moore' Ocasio > {Ossie's older brother, who was well-respected in Puerto Rico}

Ossie was in great physical shape, and the 'Fight Plan" was to out-hustle and out-work
the slow-starting Jimmy Young over the early going.

Basically, to steal Rounds to build up a Points lead.

the only thing that could go wrong with that strategy is the fact that Jimmy Young was an excellent counter puncher

[Bill Paxtom]

Jimmy Young vs. Ossie Ocasio 'I'

Round 5 >
Jimmy finally got it 'in gear', and pressured Ossie with a solid body-attack, of double
left-hands and short right-hands into the Ossie's sides.

Again, Ossie 'thumbed' Jimmy in his 'left-eye' causing Jimmy to complain to Referee -
Buddy Basilico.

Ossie tried to rally late, but Jimmy had neutralized his attack by smothering him
on the inside.

{A 'solid' Round for Jimmy}

Round 6 >
Jimmy again was the effective aggressor, as Ossie was backing away and looking to
throw an occasional counter.

Jimmy landed several good punches on Ossie who was not as active as he had been
over the first 4-Rounds.

Again, Ossie stuck out his left-arm like a measuring stick, and poked Jimmy in the eye.

Jimmy really got mad this time, and raked over Ossie with some harder punches over
the latter-half of the Round.

{Another 'solid' Round for Jimmy}.

Round 7 >
Just as it looked like Jimmy Young had taken control of the bout, he went 'back-to-sleep'.

Ossie was the aggressor here, and scored with repeated quick {but light} punches, as
Jimmy plodded and did little else.

Ossie was in complete control from the start of the Round, as he worked hard as he
fired in fast left-jabs, and quick 'one-two' punches into Jimmy, sending him into the
Ropes and covering up.

With the Round in his 'pocket', Ossie then foolishly thumbed Jimmy in the left-eye again
{at the 2:38 Mark} by sticking out his left-arm like a pole.

Referee - Buddy Basilico 'admonished' Ossie for the foul, and nearly took a Point away from him.

{A 'solid' Round for Ossie}

[Bill Paxtom]

Jimmy Young vs. Ossie Ocasio 'I' > Round 8

Coming out for Round 8, Jimmy was clearly having a bit of trouble here, especially
after getting badly out-boxed in Round 7.

Round 8 >
Jimmy was more aggressive here, and started to slam in his best punches into Ossie's
body.

Ossie was completely on the 'defensive' and moved around the Ring on the outside.

But, the young Puerto Rican was too 'smart' to get caught along the Ropes, or in a
Corner.

Jimmy attempted several 'big' right-hand crosses, but he missed on each occasion.

Still, Jimmy was completely dominant in this Round.

{A 'solid' Round for Jimmy}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Round 8 comments >

ABC-TV Announcer - Chris Schenkel, stated that the bout was headed for a 'Draw'.

ABC-TV Announcer {Referee - Arthur Mercante} had Jimmy ahead by a score of 4-3-1
in Rounds.

Chris Schenkel >
"I'm really impressed with Ocasio. He's put up a good fight, and I'm sure that Jimmy
completely under-estimated him."

"He could be up by 1-Point. His corner is really excited, and they are giving him all sorts
of instructions."

Arthur Mercante >
"I have Jimmy up by 1-Point, {4-3-1}. But it is still anybody's fight."

"I think Jimmy will now look to throw the right-hand cross in the 9th Round. Ocasio is
starting to straighten up now, and he's not bending low like he had in the earlier Rounds."
