What happened to Richard Turba??

Post by Wales »

I remember seeing him destroy Welsh fighter Mike Allen, and I see he subsequently had a cracking draw on his record with Stevie Mcguire. So what happened to Turba??

He was like a bull when he fought Mike Allen, completley steam rolled him. Just wondering out of interest. Him and Thomasz are two fighters that would probably do quite well if they were british prospects and matched / brought along correctly. Both have been on the right hand side of the card every time in their careers, and still managed to win more than lose.

I remember seeing him fight on the undercard of Michael Hunters Euro defence at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.

A lady friend of his, stood next to me, spent the entire fight shouting "Rickeeeeeeeee" at the top of her voice drove me F***in nuts :witzend:

She then spent the entire Francis Jones fight shouting "Frannnnneeeeeeeee" at the top of her voice luckily for me Francis got sparked by Paul Truscott inside a round.

I heard Richard was working the doors in Blackpool not sure if that's true or not though.

My sincerest apologies Franny fought Stuart Elwell :oops: , Paul Truscott was also on the bill.

Didn't stop that woman from being very annoying though.
