    Yep, 1938, in Hartford. Pep had a 62-3 amateur record, and Ray outpointed him for one of those three losses. The story goes that locals believed Robby might be a professional ringer, so he and George Gainford were locked in the clink overnight while Robinson's amateur credentials were checked and confirmed by an AAU official.
