Original Toronto Star caption: Down... and out, Toronto welterweight Shawn O'Sullivan crumbles to the canvas early in the second round after a blitz by Canadian champ Donovan Boucher in their title bout at Varsity Arena. Shawn got back up, but he could barely stand and referee Harry Davis stopped the bout. The Boucher barrage also halted Shawn's career. Without a doubt it's time to move on, he said.
