Al Robinson

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.

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.

About a minute later, the referee issued a second violation for an alleged butt that opened up a bloody gash on Roldan's head.

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.
