Thursday June 4th, 1992
Northlands Arena; Edmonton, Canada
Scotty Olson 21-0-1 (15) Canada
vs.
David Griman 14-2 (10) Venezuela
Scotty “Bulldog” Olson entered the ring a slight 3-2 favorite vs. the highly regarded, but relatively unknown and inexperienced David Griman of Venezuela. The 14,000 seat + home to the Edmonton Oilers had a rowdy crowd of over 5,000 Olson fans. Like Olson, Griman had a very successful amateur career, the highlight being when he represented Venezuela at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. So, although this was only the Venezuelan’s 17th fight as a professional, he had years of world class level experience in the amateurs. The winner of this battle between former amateur stars would challenge Columbia’s Rodolfo Blanco for his IBF title.
Olson floored Griman in the 1st and was mauling him in the 2nd, when with less than a minute to go in the round Griman slumped to the canvas after taking a steady bombardment of blows. The referee then stopped the fight to the delight of Olson’s hometown fans.
