Bout Summary
Turpin was knocked down from a left hook that landed just under the right ear, felling him like a log. He got up at five but stumbled across the ring and collapsed against the ropes. He pulled himself up but was so shaky that the referee stopped the fight. It was all over in 65 seconds. Film of the knockout: [1].
