    The biography written by Stephen Boyd and Robinson's son stated he was delirious after the fight,his body covered with blisters,his wife spoon fed him orange juice when they got him home,he had refused to go to hospital,but he took the orange juice from her and drained it ,promptly throwing up over both her and the bed.Robinson could not retine either rfood orliquid inhisntomach for 2 days and it was 6 months before he was fully recovered.
