1970's ~ Top Heavyweight Upsets

[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}
