Wonderful album. Boxers featured are Mickey Gill, Al Robinson, Jack Reeves, and others. 181 images total. A truly outstanding piece of Historical California Boxing History. Albert Robinson (June 18, 1947 – January 24, 1974) was a boxer from Oakland, California who competed in the featherweight division (– 57 kg) during his career. Robinson was the featherweight (125 pounds) silver medalist in the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. In the final Robinson lost a highly disputed bout to Antonio Roldan of Mexico. Robinson was dominating the fight when suddenly the referee gave Robinson a warning. About a minute later, the referee issued a second violation for an alleged butt that opened up a bloody gash on Roldan's head. This resulted in Robinson's automatic disqualification.
