Randy Turpin was pretty good on the inside.

I watched brodie - chi with my dad who hadn't seen him before, every couple of rounds he'd shout something like 'jesus this kid fights like a fkin mexican'. so i guess you'd say he had some inside skills. :)

Terry, I believe SRR said after there first fight, that he couldn't believe how physically strong Turpin was.

Proof that weights can enhance your punching power. I once read that Tony Sibson had more upper body strength than almost everyone he ever fought, due to his doing lot's of heavy lifting on building sites. His KO pct obviously wasen't one of the highest, but when he did connect clean it was pretty evident he could pack a wallop.
