Randy Turpin is possibly the most underrated of all the former World Middleweight Champions . R.I.P.

I went to his hilltop cafe in Llandudno last year and had a walk round the castle where he used to train. Truly a fascinating and tragic story he had. What an amazing fighter, God bless him

Spread the word everyone about REZNICK videos they are works of art, they are masterful

So sad what he went trough R.I.P. Randolph

another very good British fighter proving that the truly best among us were on par with the truly best globally. boxing is a gruel business and there are so many unknown, never mind forgotten, and fighters like Turpin both proves that and also points to other ones too.

Unusual defence, heavy handed, athletic boxer-puncher, very underrated.

One of the best composed boxing videos I've seen. The music goes so well with the video, and it is set to such a nice pace. Magnifico!

"In palace pub and parlour the whole of Britain held it's breath" Britain's greatest sporting moment. Before he won the title Randy was an assiduous trainer and it was this training with weights that gave him his Gymnasts build. He could bang with both hands, had a shoulder roll like Lloyd Marshall and his body punches broke ribs. When i was a an amateur boxer I'd listen to the tales about him from the men from his own generation including my dad and both trainers. I knew some of the tales were wrong but listened anway and no-on had a bad word to say about him. Im not a royalist but know the king was holding a banquet and wanted to be kept up to date as the handsome young boxer from the midlands fought the greatest fighter in the world. "Your majesty Turpin has won" said a lackey. The day after an RAF fighter flew overhead as the people of Leamington and Warwick watched the Licker with his mum and the 2 mayors.

man you are an artist the best videos on the Internet period!

You're a damn talented editor...nice job.

Turpin seemed to have a ploy of throwing a jab, then deliberately missing with a right so he could set his opponent up for a left hook. You can see it at 0:18, 2:08 and 2:30.

keep them coming Reznick, these young folks need to know the pioneers of the modern era, and with an artist like you it sure will make them get educated, research and go deeper into boxing history. thank you Reznick

At the 37 second mark, Turpin knocks out Don Cockell in the 11th round with a left hook. This is the same Don Cockell that went 9 rounds with heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano in Marciano's next to last fight.

Great Video, The music did work very well with the footage lol.

Beautifully made ... i really enjoy your videos

Absolutely not intended to diminish the role of his technical skill and also clearly the hours and hours and hours he put in getting in reps over the years at the gym, but you can clearly tell that he was a gifted natural athlete with the speed he is able to close the gap from the outside all the way to the inside. You can't really teaxh that

That wink is iconic isn't it.

Music, and footage really went together well.

Awesome vid dude, your editing is on point!!

Randy Turpin is one of the best boxers Europe has ever seen. Some great boxers shown off by some great edits on your channel well done Rez.

This is my favourite video on your channel, everything is perfect

Unusual style. Doesn't really throw punches straight from the shoulder. All body and hips with his elbows close. Super fast and hits hard, pull back defense, really athletic. Must have been exciting to watch.

Great Video Reznick

Reznick you the man!!!! Keep up the good work bro!!!👊🏽

Looks like a very likeable guy. Can't imagine the joy he felt after beating the great SRR.

Randy Turpin is near unknown in this country. He has a statue where he was from but nobody ever mentions Turpin outside of a quick bit of trivia. Shame.

Great video reznick!

Great editing, this was a gem

Totally amazing clip!!

Great editing. Definitely generates interest in finding out more. He's probably known solely for beating Sugar Ray, but this educates us on what qualities got him there.

what a fantastic tribute , excellent

Best video of all time!!! You are simply the best !!!! Neverseen so much amped up emotion in a boxing video, my god you always get it right !! Thank you for sharing this brillant piece of art!!!

poor guy.edit this video deserves so much more views it's criminal.

Fantastic video!

masterpiece😍

Bro sick video. 💯🔥

Another sick video. Rez is the man.

Brilliant video, brilliant music thanks

Like how Rez tries to keep the music relevant to the times and boxing style/fighters legacy. Really makes you feel like you are there!!!

This footage is incredible. He had such an unusual way of using the shoulder roll but it was very effective.

Years ago I stood outside the Town Hall where they held his big reception. Admired his statue, found the Pub his Nephew had and from his Nephew got directions to his Grave. I then went there to pay my respects. He passed before I was born. But I think he’s the best Fighter this country has had. RIP Randolph Adolphus Turpin, you won’t be forgotten.

Explosive punches!

I've missed your videos Reznick.

This video is the shit thanks so much for making this so glad i found it!

Beautiful tribute to one of the greatest!

Fantastic footage

Holy Shit man, what Turpin did at 0:54 is goalz!!

He had some nice skills in the ring RIP to randy he was a good puncher

Great video

This is art.👌

His out of the ring life was the thing that did for him. His decline virtually started before the return bout with Robinson. A tragic story in the end at his best he was a helluva fighter.

great video

Reznick you're a man with taste

Please, do Floyd Patterson HL

ART

Ferocious 👍🏼

Randy Turpin had a awkward style, similar to charley barley,probably why he gave Robinson such a tough fight both times,Robinson had to press hard to win second fight

pure awesome boxer

Such a shame Randolph Turpin a rare case of a fighter who went downhill after becoming World Champion. He was never the same and as often quoted is his mother's statement about his return visit to the USA to fight Olson. "I don't believe he ever had any intention of winning!" Given the state of Randy's mind I feel sure she was right. Incidentally re the Olson fight. We sometimes see photos of Randy on the canvas but never any pictures when he put Olson on the canvas. Anyone got one?

This song should be on Cerdan's reel.

Top man .......

honestly one of ur very best videos

This Turpin "frog" has some deceptive speed...and great power in those close range hooks and uppercuts. While not showcasing much foot agility, he definitely also seems adept at stepping barely out of range of an opponent's punch at the right time as well.
