	Randy Turpin
		Randy Turpin (1928-1966) was a boxer from Britain who was considered by many to be Europe's best Middleweight boxer of the 1940s and 1950s.
		Turpin turned professional in London in 1946, a little after turning 18, and he knocked out Gordon Griffiths in his first bout.
		Turpin was determined not to lose again after the Stock defeat, and put together another string of wins, which reached 12 (including a 4 round disqualification win against William Poli), and he was rematched with Finch, this time with the British Middleweight title on the line.

	Turpin Tribute - Continuum Magazine - Fall 2002 - University of Utah
		While Randy Turpin and his excellent team were changing the face of the campus, Susan Turpin was in the Park Building serving most effectively as administrative assistant to the vice president for university relations (me).
		Susan and Randy met on campus and, throughout their careers, drove to and from the U together, sharing some (but not all) information.
		Retired to their new home in Heber City, Randy says he will keep busy in his shop, working on his "street rod." And Susan says she is learning to be "laid back" — that is, she doesn't have to do all her housework on Saturdays.

	The Time Tunnel: Turpin's Stunning Defeat Of Robinson Was No Fluke
		Turpin, with sturdy legs, strong arms and a strange style that saw him throw punches from odd angles, had Robinson befuddled and frustrated and gave the champ a beating.
		Turpin, sitting on the middle strand of the ropes, blocked or evaded many of the blows that were relentlessly raining down on him.
		Turpin will always be remembered more for the shocking upset of Robinson in London in July of 1951 and the brave, stubborn battle he waged against Robinson in the rematch at The Polo Grounds two months later than for anything else he did in the ring.

		And the best part was that, this time, it wasn't the shop steward who had provided the free tickets, but, according to my dad, these came from one of the "big shots" in the union (in a later era such a person who would be known as a "suit").
		It was amazingly simple, both fighters going for the middleweight championship and fully realizing to get it they needed to incapacitate the other, threw devasting body blows and destructive hooks to the head and amazingly kept coming at each other for the full 45 minutes, fifteen three minute rounds, each one, bell to bell action.
		But, Turpin didn't lose, or at least it wouldn't have been proper to call him a loser on this night; he had simply come in a very close second.

		Randy Turpin, also a very good fighter, presented stylistic problems for Sugar Ray Robinson.
		Neither Norton nor Turpin were undefeated for the first eight years of their professional careers the way Vernon Forrest is. Neither Norton nor Turpin were ducked by every top fighter in and around their respective weight divisions the way Vernon Forrest has been.
		Sugar Ray would win the middleweight championship back from Turpin by knockout in a fight he was losing, and ultimately Robinson would win that same belt back three more times.

		It was 54 years ago when Robinson, journeyed to London to face little-known British middleweight Randy Turpin, who was known as the “Leamington Licker,” because he could lick any man in his town.
		So when Turpin - who had lost twice to some guys named Albert Finch and Jean Stock – met Robinson in London on July 10, 1951, you can bet he was a huge underdog.
		But that night, Turpin’s wide stance unorthodox style and Robinson’s lack of preparation led to one of the greatest upsets in boxing history.

		Ray had already won the middleweight title from LaMotta, lost it to Turpin, then regained it from Turpin; then he defended it by decisioning Olson and again by knocking out Rocky Graziano with one perfect right in the third round in Chicago.
