    No, Turpin was a MW cum L-HW and C ockell was a L-HW cum HW...

    Turpin was always noted to be a Big MW anyway, just look at him, but this fight was a L-HW British title fight, while 'tubby' Don was still technically a L-HW, he moved up later..

    this was a good technical fight, Enjoy.

    I'd argue its safer for fighters to have short careers pack w immense competition.

    Pascua had trouble with the weight and lost his next fight to Melchor Cob Castro.

    Willy Wise beat JCC in a huge upset but never really did much else.

    Might be the winner. Crazy night and aftermath.

    Still not quite sure how anyone with a straight face (folks over at Boxrec) can claim Starling was never knocked out. (Maybe Molinares hit them, too? ;))

    "I wasn't knocked out ... I wasn't knocked down!"
