Al Robinson
Medal record
Men's boxing
Representing the  United States
Olympic Games
Silver medal – second place 1968 Mexico City Featherweight

Albert "Al" Robinson (June 18, 1947 – January 24, 1974) was a boxer from Oakland, California who competed in the featherweight division (– 57 kg) during his career.

Amateur 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.

1968 Olympic results

Below are the results of Al Robinson, a featherweight boxer who represented the United States at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics:

  • Round of 32: defeated John Cheshire (Great Britain) referee stopped contest
  • Round of 16: defeated Teogenes Pelegrino (Philippines) by knockout in second round
  • Quarterfinal: defeated Adbel Khaliaf (Egypt) on points, 5-0
  • Semifinal: defeated Ivan Mihailov (Bulgaria) on points, 4-1
  • Final: lost to Antonio Roldan (Mexico) by disqualification (was awarded silver medal)

Pro career

Robinson turned pro in 1969 and won his first six bouts before being KO'd by journeyman Fermin Soto. He recovered after the loss to win his next six bouts.

Death

On April 30, 1971, Robinson lapsed into a coma, after complaining that he was feeling ill after a workout at the New Oakland Boxing Club. Robinson never came out of the coma, and died on January 24, 1974.
