    Turpin, who pulled off one of the biggest upsets ever, verse Duran who whipped Barkley?
    Favourite s no doubt Turpin here but Duran s the dark horse.
    15 rounds.

    Bump for Fergus, this is a good match. I need to watch more Turpin, but my intuition is that he wins.

    If Marvin Hagler can't beat Duran easily, Turpin isn't.

    Duran has too much skill for the one dimensional but very tough Turpin. Duran UD

    An unbelievably strong middleweight vs a legendary, blown-up lightweight.

    Turpin.

    Turpin s my pick. Randy at his best gets a nice clear decision win.

    Duran too Small for Turpin. though Duran is the better fighter, the BIG Guy wins... because that's usually just the way it is.

    Too short a prime. And too short a life.

    I'm wondering how Turpin takes Duran's right hand. Cause he's going to get hit.

    I see him taking it ok, going almost 25 rounds with SRR makes me think that.

    It might be more pertinent to wonder how Duran takes Turpin's?

    You think Turpin would fight as tentatively like Hagler?
