Among Flamingo Entries *: Bout Almost DETROIT (INS)—If Joe Rindone lacks confidence for his battle with Sugar Ray Robinson at Detroit's Olympia Stadium tomorrow night, accounts of Ray's last Detroit bout. In April, 1950, 2i-year-old De- treit boxer Ray Barnes went into the ring a decided under- dog in a fight with Robinson. The bout marked only the tnd time Barnes had gone 10 rounds. There were cries of ‘‘mismatch" and some ring observers even went so far as to express a great fear for Barnes’ life. Although he lost the match, Barnes went the distance and had the Harlem slugger on the ropes for the final three rounds. Rindone’s style is similar to that employed by Barnes in the Robin- son fight. One thing in Rindone’s fight.
