1992 fly weight world championship
Sunday, December 20th, 1992
Northlands Arena; Edmonton, Canada
Scotty Olson 24-0-1 (17) Canada IBF WBO
vs.
Yun-Un Chin 28-0-2 (18) Korea WBC WBA
Scotty Olson returned home to Canada to fight before a sellout crowd of Canadian fans that had filled the Edmonton Oilers “Northlands Arena” to a full house capacity of 16,839. The Canadian sports fans loved their hockey more than any other sport by far, but they also loved a good fight and eagerly turned out in support of Scotty Olson’s quest to become the undisputed Fly Weight World Champion.
Olson was listed as a 2-1 favorite to fulfill his dream of winning the World Championship. Chin emerged into this championship match having beaten some very long odds. Prior to the tournament’s first fight, Chin was listed as a 30-1 underdog to win it all. While Olson, had been listed at 10-1 odds to win the entire tournament.
(Before I post the result, if anyone is interested in posting a prediction, or comments on this upcoming Championship fight, please do.The TBCB odds were 2-1 for Olson. Myself, I wasn't surprised that Olson reached the Championship match, but hadn't expected Chin to get past Arbachakov. I think my setting Arbachakov to pre-prime for that fight might have been a significant factor.)
