Robinson vs Turpin I - Scoring.

[joeandthebums]

Going into the Robinson rematch, Turpin was arrested for ****`in the USA, only days before fight night. The charges leveled against him, never stuck, but they messed up Turpin and his focus on the fight.

You are correct that Turpin was arrested on charges of **** and assault, but this was in October 1953, after he had lost in his vacant title contest against Bobo Olson.

The arrest related to his time in New York prior to the return contest with Robinson.

In no way did it impact his preparation for the Robinson contest.
