Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Wrestler Dean Detton about to slam his opponent Kiman Kudo into the mat at Olympic Auditorium. The match was mixed-style. Kudo was awarded the first round after Detton was so enraged by Kudo's jiu jitsu skills that he ripped off Kudo's jacket. The second round was catch-as-catch-can style. Detton won this with the move shown in the picture and Kudo was unable to return for a third round, so Detton was declared the winner.
