Name that Pugilist.

There's no mistaking Ortega's face.

 

Gaspar Ortega?

 

I didn't look at the Ortega one, knew his face, but the Apostoli one I cheated on. Better to make the images as attachments so nobody can cheat.

 

Is it Joe Rindone?

 

Trivia question for you,young man Roger Donaghue though he never fought either ,is considered to have been partially responsible for Robinson,s win over Turpin,how so?

 

Haven't a clue

 

A harder one:

 

I thought the stoppage was good. Turpin had been knocked down and looked pretty helpless as Robinson delivered a volley of desperate punches, one of them, a right hand, landing in a particularly brutal fashion.

 

Middleweight contender from the fifties.

 

Donaghue fought a guy called George Flores in the Garden Flores died Donaghue retired,just after this Robinson and Turpin had their rematch,the flores fatality is generally considered to have influenced Goldstein to jump in and stop the fight,Turpin was on the ropes but if you remember he isnt taking much punishment,amazingly Ray cant nail him with the finisher,remember this is 1951 fights went on longer then,so that is the influence,Donaghue trained Brando for the role of Terry Malloy,he evn gave Budd Shulberg the famous line,Budd asked Roger ,how far he might have gone if the tragedy hadnt happened,he replied"well I did used to cut ,but I could have been a contender",Shulberg remembered it and its in the film.

 

Right on!

 

Willie Vaughn? I don't know, there were a lot of talented black middleweights around that time and they all looked similar.

 

I'll give you a hint: he was deaf.

 

Ohhh, Hairston. Should have known that.
