    Has anyone seen clips of their fight? I've heard Turpin won very impressively...Anyone have anything to add?

    The fight exists on tape. It was Turpin at his best, but we have to add that Cockell had terrible weight problems and after that fight he fought at 200 lbs for the rest of his career.

    Pretty much sums it up. Great "comeback" performance by Turpin (coming off his loss to Robinson), and Cockell's last fight at light-heavyweight.

    Not to mention, the great "Cockell" was to be another pathetic title defence for the indominable Marciano.
