Historic Night for Turpin... JANUARY 2019 | ISSUE #75 BY RALPH OATES A series of articles which will feature boxing facts from both the past to the present... Sugar Ray Robinson was the main man in boxing an excellent fighter who was in every sense a true artist in the ring. Robinson was phenomenal he could both box and punch often making light work of the many opponents who stepped into the ring with him. Realistically when taking a look at the fighters around at the time it appeared that few if any looked capable of beating him. When Randolph Turpin was given a shot at the world middleweight crown he looked to have scant chance of getting a victory over Robinson who held the title. This was no reflection on Turpin’s abilities since he too was a good fighter who knew his craft but Robinson looked to be head and shoulders above him. On the night of the 10th July 1951 Robinson also a former world welterweight king entered the ring to cross gloves with Turpin. The venue for the contest was the Earls Court Arena Kensington in London. Robinson boasted an outstanding record of 133 professional bouts with one loss two draws and one no-contest. Turpin came to the contest with a resume of 43 paid bouts with two defeats and one draw. A good record but it dulled when compared to Robinson’s and it was noticeable that the American had fought and defeated a better calibre of opponent than had his British challenger. If Robinson was on form he was more than capable of scoring a victory inside the distance either by a stoppage or knockout. The outlook did not look too bright for the challenger. However on the night Turpin produced a performance which stunned both Robinson and the experts. The home fighter was more than equal to the American meeting him head on in an exciting slugfest which kept those in attendance on the very edge of their seats. It was possible that Robinson and his management team had vastly underrated the abilities of the Briton. Those who witnessed the fight could not believe what they were watching, a British fighter getting the better of an outstanding American world champion. At the end of the fifteen round contest Turpin was awarded the points decision and was amazingly the new world middleweight champion. It was a historic night for Turpin who became the first British born fighter to hold this title since Bob Fitzsimmons who won the championship on the 14 January 1891 when holder Nonpareil Jack Dempsey retired in round thirteen the venue being the Olympic Club in New Orleans. This was a stunning result for Turpin who was now a major player in the sport his name was now known worldwide way beyond the UK. Shores. He was the cream of the boxing world. However Turpin did not stay on the middle throne for too long for he had to travel across the Atlantic for a return bout with Robinson. On the 12th September 1951 the pair renewed their acquaintance at the Polo Grounds in New York. Turpin gave of his best but this time Robinson came out on top and hence stopped him in the tenth stanza to regain the title in a contest scheduled for fifteen rounds. For Turpin the party was over his time at the top may have been brief but at least he reached the top. There was no disgrace for Turpin in this defeat since Sugar Ray Robinson was a genuine all time great. Turpin could always lay claim to the fact that he had defeated Sugar Ray when he was still in his prime and not when he was passed his best. Few fighters can make that claim against Robinson. 42
