Кіріспе
Британдық боксшы Рэндольф Адольфс Турпин (7 маусым 1928 – 17 мамыр 1966), Рэнди Турпин деген атпен әйгілі, 1940-1950 жылдары рингте белсенді болған британдық боксшы. 1951 жылы ол Sugar Ray Robinson-ды жеңіп, орта салмақтағы әлем чемпионы атанды. 2001 жылы Халықаралық бокс даңқы залына енгізілді. Оның өмірі – кедейліктен байлыққа, қайта кедейлікке дейін жеткен классикалық оқиға. Ол өкінішке орай, кедейліктен күшпен жол ашып, байлыққа ие болды. Бірақ ол тапқан ақшасын сақтай алмады, соңында қайыршылық жағдайда қалды, ал Ішкі кіріс басқармасы оны төлемеген салықтары үшін әзірледі.
Randolph Adolphus Turpin (7 June 1928 – 17 May 1966), better known as Randy Turpin, was a British boxer active in the 1940s and 1950s. In 1951 he became world middleweight champion when he defeated Sugar Ray Robinson. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2001. His life story was a classic tale of, from rags to riches and back again. In which he managed to fight his way out of poverty and become a wealthy man. However, he was unable to hold on to the money he earned and ended up living in impoverished circumstances, whilst being hounded by the Inland Revenue for unpaid tax.
Ерте өмір
Рэндольф Турпин Уорвикшир графтығының Леамингтон Спа қаласында 1896 жылы Британ Гвианасында (қазіргі Гайана) туған қара нәсілді Лайонельдің ұлы ретінде дүниеге келді. Ол Англияға Бірінші дүниежүзілік соғысқа қатысу үшін келді. Рэндольфтің анасымен соғыстың соңында алған жарақатынан емделгеннен кейін ауруханадан шыққан соң танысты. Қызмет барысында Сомма шайқасында күресті. Рэндольф туғаннан кейін бір жыл ішінде қайтыс болды, өкпесіне газ шабуылынан келген зақымнан толыққанды қалпына келе алмады. Осылайша, Рэндольфтің анасы Беатрис (қызметтес аты Уайтхаус, 1904–1974) бес баланы өзі тәрбиелеуге мәжбүр болды. Жесір әйел Беатрис бес баланың күтімін қарастырып, шағын соғыс зейнетақысымен күнкөріс жасау үшін күш-жігер жұмсады және ақша табу үшін таңнан кешке дейін үй шаруасынан жұмыс істеді. Осының салдарынан ол екі баласын туыстарына жіберді. Алайда, 1931 жылы Эрнест Мэнли есімді ер адамға қайта үйленді, ол балаларға әке болды және отбасы қайта бірікті. Беатрис бұрынғы қолғапсыз жекпе-жекшінің қызы болған және ешқандай есептеу бойынша, балаларына зорлық-зомбылық көрсетілгенде өздерін қорғауға шақырған қайратты әйел болды. [6]
Рэндольф бес баланың ең кішісі болды. Лионель кіші ұлы (көбінесе боксшы Дик Турпин деп танылады) ең үлкені болды, одан кейін Джоан, Джон (көбінесе Джеки деп аталды), Кэтлин және Рэндольф келді. Ол Леамингтонда туғанымен, шын мәнінде жақын жердегі Уорвик қаласында өсті және мектепке барды. Бала кезінде жүзіп жүргенде суға батып кетуге азда-кем қалды, себебі су астында тұрып қалды. Оқиға салдарынан құлақ пердесі жарылып, бір құлағы нашар естіді, осы кемістігіне байланысты кейбір адамдар оны жабық мінезді деп ойлады. [8] Ол сондай-ақ қос пневмония мен бронхиттен де өлімге жуық болды. [6]
Көпшілікке тараған қате пікірдің керісінше, оның «Леамингтон Ликер» деген лақап аты кәсіби боксшы болғандықтан пайда болған жоқ. Ол бала кезінде пайда болды, сол кезде Рэндольф, Джеки және Джоанның барлығы маусым айында туған: Рэндольф 7-сінде, Джеки 13-і, ал Джоан 19-ында. Маусым айы келгенде, Рэндольфтің туған күні бірінші болғандықтан, ол өзін үштің ең үлкені деп ойлады. Джоан оған кішкентай екенін айтты. Ол ашуланып, «Мен ең кішкентай емеспін» деп айқайлады (ол «кішкентай» сөзін дұрыс айта алмады). Аздап қысым көрсеткеннен кейін, Рэндольф екі есін де шайқап, оған шабуыл жасады. Осының нәтижесінде «Ликер» оның отбасылық лақап аты болды. [6]
Әуесқой мансап
Ол бокспен айналысуды жергілікті бокс шоуларында, ағасы Дик рингке шыққанда бастады. Содан кейін қалаға жәрмеңке келгенде бокс павильонында, інісі Джекимен бірге. Олар "Александр мен Мұса" деп аталатын дуэтте ноббиндер үшін (көрермендер рингке лақтыратын ақша) жұдырықтасты. [6]
Оның әуесқой бокс мансабы Лимингтон Бойз Клубында басталды және Корольдік теңіз күштеріне қосылғанда жалғасты. Ол алғашқы әуесқой жекпе-жегін ұпаймен ұтылып қалды, бірақ содан кейін 100 жекпе-жек ішінде тағы екі жекпе-жекте ғана жеңілді. Ол үш рет ұлттық жасөспірімдер чемпионатында жеңіске жетті және 1945 жылы орта салмақта, ал 1946 жылы екінші орта салмақта ABA аға чемпионы атанды. 1945 жылы ол бір маусымда жасөспірімдер және аға ABA титулдарын жеңіп алды. Мұндай жетістікке қол жеткізген жалғыз адам және ABA аға чемпионатында жеңіс туған алғашқы қара нәсілді боксшы. Ережелер жылдар өте өзгерді және жас боксшылар енді аға чемпионатына қатыса алмайды; яғни, ешкім оның бұл көрсеткішін қайталай алмайды. Ол сондай-ақ 1946 жылы Ұлыбритания құрамасы үшін АҚШ-қа қарсы жыл сайынғы телеарнада көрсетілетін матчта өнер көрсетті, өз жекпе-жегінде бірінші раундта нокаутқа жіберді. [9]
Кәсіби мансап
Ол көптеген жоғары кәсіби менеджерлермен байланысқа түсті, бірақ ағасы Дикті басқаратын жергілікті адам Джордж Миддлтонмен кәсіби шартына келісті. 1946 жылдың 17 қыркүйегінде Лондонда Гордон Гриффитспен алғашқы кәсіби жекпе-жегін өткізіп, оны тоқтатып жеңді. 1947 жылы Марк Хартпен алты раунд бойы тең түсті, содан кейін тағы 14 жеңіске жетті. 1948 жылы екі жеңіліске ұшырады: біріншісі Альберт Финчке қарсы сегіз раундтан кейін ұпаймен, екіншісі Жан Стоктан жеңілді. Турпин төрт рет нокаутқа түсті және бесінші раунд соңында орындығына зорлық-зомбылықпен отырды. [9] Осы екі жеңілістің себебі сол кездегі некелік мәселелер болды деген қауесет тарады. Стокпен болған жекпе-жектен бір күндер бұрын әйелі ұлының қамқорлығына берілгенін естіген, ал бауыры Дикке ұрысқысы келмейтінін және жеңіліп қалуынан қатты алаңдамайтынын айтқан. [11] Стокпен болған жекпе-жектен кейін жеке өмірін ретке келтіру үшін спорттан бес айға үзіліс жасады. Артур Батти атты адам жасаған салмақ жаттығуларын жасап, физикалық күшін арттырды. [12] Боксшылардың бұлшықеттеріне толып, қимылдары шектеледі деп есептелгендіктен, бокс саласында салмақ жаттығуларына қарсылық болды. Турпин бұл ережеден өзгеше болды және оның болашақ қарсыластары, соның ішінде Шугар Рэй Робинсон оның зор физикалық күшіне назар аударды. Турпин екі қолымен де нокаут соққысын орындап, кез келген қарсыласы үшін қауіпті қарсыласқа айналды. [2] Ол екі жеңілісін қайтарып, британдық орта салмақ және бос еуропалық орта салмақ белдеулерін жеңіп алды. Айтқанда, оның ағасы Дик 1911 жылдан бері қолданылып келген түс дискриминациясы алынғаннан кейін 1948 жылы Винс Хокинсті жеңіп, британдық орта салмақ белдеуін алғанда, британдық титулды жеңген алғашқы ақ емес боксшы болды. 1951 жылы көптеген адамдар барлық уақыттағы ең ұлы боксшы деп санайтын Шугар Рэй Робинсон еуропалық турнеге шықты. Турнесінің соңғы кезеңі Лондонда Рэндольф Турпинмен әлем чемпионаты үшін болды. Көптеген адамдар Турпиннің Робинсонды жеңуге мүмкіндігі жоқ деп есептеді, тіпті бұл жекпе-жектің теңсіздік екенін және Турпинге ауыр зиян келтіруі мүмкін деп ойлады. [13] Робинсон әуесқой ретінде жеңіліске ұшырамады және кәсіби рингте 132 жекпе-жектің тек біреуін ғана Джейк ЛаМоттаға жеңілді. Кейіннен ол ЛаМоттаға жеңілісін қайтарды, оны бес рет жеңді. 1951 жылдың 10 шілдесінде 18 000 адам Эрлс-кортқа Турпиннің Робинсонмен жекпе-жегін көруге келді. Көптеген адамдар Турпиннің Робинсонды жеңе алатынын көру үшін радиодан тыңдады. Турпин бұл жағдайға қысым көрсетпеді және алғашқы қоңыраудан бастап Робинсонға қарсы күреске түсті. Робинсон Турпиннің ерекше стильдегі жекпе-жегімен күресуде қиындықтарға тап болды және Турпин оны қыспаққа алды. 15-ші раундта Турпин ұпай бойынша алда болды және жеңіске жету үшін раундты аман қалған жөн болды. Жекпе-жек соңында төреші Турпиннің қолғабын жеңіспен көтерді. [14] Ол 1891 жылы Боб Фитцсиммонстан бері орта салмақтағы әлем чемпионатының белдеуін алған алғашқы британдық боксшы болды. Ол бірден ұлттық батырға айналды. Екі күннен кейін оған туған қаласы Лимингтонда 10 000 адамның алдында салтанатты қабылдау рәсімі жасалды, онда Лимингтон мен Уорвик қалаларының әкімдері қатысты. [2][15][16] 1950-ші жылдары бокс футбол мен крикетпен қатар басты спорт түрлерінің бірі болды және теледидардың пайда болуымен оның танымалдылығы арта түсті. Британия соғыстың салдарынан әлі де айығып жатқан еді және көптеген адамдар үшін өмір сүру қиын болды, азық-түлік рационы әлі де сақталған. Осылайша, бокс спортының жұлдызы болып саналатын америкалық боксшыны жеңген британдық боксшының жеңісі бүкіл елге қуаныш сыйлады. [6] Робинсонмен жекпе-жекті өткізу үшін Турпин 90 күндік қайта жекпе-жек туралы шартына қол қоюға мәжбүр болды. Яғни, егер ол жеңіске жетсе, Робинсонға алғашқы жекпе-жектен кейін 90 күн ішінде қарсы жекпе-жек өткізуі керек еді. Қайта жекпе-жек 1951 жылдың 12 қыркүйегінде Нью-Йорктегі Поло Граундс стадионында 61 370 адамның алдында өтті. Турпин Робинсонға тағы да қиын жекпе-жек өткізді және 10-шы раундқа дейін тең түсті. Робинсон ауыр жарақат алды және нокаутқа ұмтылды. Ол оң қолымен күшті соққымен Турпинды жерге жығырып жіберді. Турпин тоғызға дейін санағанда тұрып, арқанға ілініп, төреші Руби Голдштейн жекпе-жекті тоқтатқанда, соққыларға ұшырады. Кейбіреулер бұл тоқтату ерте болды деді, бірақ бүгінгі стандарттар бойынша бұл олай емес. Турпиннің билігі тек 64 күн ғана созылды. [17][18][19] 1952 жылдың сәуірінде жазылған мақалада Рэндольфтың "бір-екі жылда" зейнеткерлікке шығып, Лесли Т. Солтсқа (Гврых қамалының иесіне) бизнес ашып, Гврыхтың "идеалды жағдайында" бүкіл Британиядағы жастарға жекпе-жекті үйретуге ниеттенгені айтылды, өйткені ол жастық шағында бастан өткерген қиын жағдайлар болған. Ол жас боксшылардың жаттығулары үшін қамалға гимназия салуды жоспарлаған. [20] Гврыхта болған кезде, ол Гвинет Прайстің қызметінен бірнеше уэльс сөздерін үйренді және өзінің қолтаңбаларын "Hên lwc" (Ескі сәттілік), "Pob lwc" (Барлық сәттілік) және "Lwc Dda" (Жақсы сәттілік) деп қойды, бірақ оның оны қаншалықты жақсы білгені белгісіз. Турпин 1952 жылы британдық және Достастық жеңіл салмақ белдеулері үшін Дон Кокелмен жекпе-жек өткізді. Ол 11-ші раундта Кокелді тоқтатып жеңді. [21] Кокел кейіннен ауыр салмақтағы титул үшін Рокки Марчианомен жақсы жекпе-жек өткізді. Турпин 1953 жылы Шарль Юмезден ұпаймен жеңіске жетіп, еуропалық орта салмақ белдеуін қайта жеңіп алды және Еуропадағы әлем чемпионы ретінде танылды. [22] Алайда, Турпиннің әлем чемпионаты Америкада мойындалмады. Шугар Рэй Робинсон зейнеткерлікке шыққаннан кейін Турпин Карл "Бобо" Олсенмен бос әлем орта салмақ белдеуі үшін жекпе-жекке қатысуға тағайындалды. Олсенмен болған жекпе-жек 1953 жылы Мэдисон Сквер Гарденде өтті. Турпин жекпе-жекке тиістідей дайындықтан өтпеді (себебі жекпе-жек соңында белгілі болды). Ол алғашқы үш раундты жеңіп алды, бірақ содан кейін күші құлдырады және 15 раунд бойы ұпаймен жеңілді, 9-шы және 10-шы раундтарда жерге түсті. Турпин жекпе-жек барысында көп бөлігін арқанға тіреліп, басына және денесіне соққылар алды. Жекпе-жек соңында Турпин қанды зәр шығарды, бұл Олсеннің денесіне жасаған соққылардан бүйректері зардап шеккенін көрсетеді. [2][23] Олсенмен болған жекпе-жек Турпиннің мансабындағы шешімді нүкте болды. Ол осы жекпе-жекте алған жарақаттан кейін бұрынғыдай боксшы бола алмады және одан кейін күші әлсіреп қалды. Сонымен қатар, орта салмақ шегіне (72.5 кг) жете алмады. [9] Турпин Тиберио Митриге қарсы бірінші раундта жеңілді, ол үлкен соққы беруші боксшы ретінде танылмаған. 1954 жылы Римде ол сол қолымен соққыға ұшырап, жартылай соққымен, жартылай итеріліп канвасқа құлады. Ол ауыр құлап, басының арқасына тиді, аяқтарына тұрып, арқанға құлады, содан кейін қайтадан тұрды. Төреші оның жағдайына қанағаттанбады және жекпе-жекті тоқтатты. [24] Митри Турпиннің бокс техникасындағы кемшілікті пайдаланды, ол иегін қорғауға тиіс оң қолын түсіріп алып, сол қолымен соққыға ұшырады. Жастық шағында оның рефлекстері осыған жол бермейтін. Бірақ жасы ұлғайған сайын оның рефлекстері баяулап, соққыға төзімділігі азайды. Сонымен қатар, ол көздерімен де мәселелерге тап болды. Оның көздері бұрылып, жанама көруі нашарлады. Британдық бокс басқару кеңесі (BBBC) Турпинге толық медициналық тексеру жүргізді, бірақ оның мансабына жалғасуға лайық екенін шешті. [9] Тоғыз айлық үзілістен кейін Турпин жеңіл салмақта (79.38 кг) қайта оралды, бірақ оны әлем чемпионатының нақты талапкері деп санауға болмайды...
He made his professional debut in London on 17 September 1946 stopping Gordon Griffiths. He scored another 14 victories before drawing over six rounds with Mark Hart in 1947. He suffered two defeats in 1948: the first a points decision to Albert Finch over eight rounds and the second a stoppage defeat to Jean Stock. Turpin was knocked down four times and retired on his stool at the end of round five. [9]
It was said that the two defeats were as a result of marital problems that he was experiencing at that time. On the day of the Stock fight he had been notified that his wife had been given custody of their son and he had told his brother Dick that he didn't feel like fighting and wouldn't be at all surprised if he lost. [11] After the Stock fight he took a five month break from the sport to try and sort his personal life out. He had embarked on a weight training regime designed by a man called Arthur Batty and built up his physical strength. [12] Weight training was frowned upon in boxing circles because it was thought that it made fighters muscle bound and inflexible in their movements. Turpin proved to be the exception to this rule and many of his future opponents including Sugar Ray Robinson would comment on his immense physical strength. Turpin developed a knockout punch with either hand and became a formidable force for any fighter to deal with. [2]
He went on a winning streak where he avenged the two defeats that he had suffered and, in the process, picked up the British Middleweight Title and the vacant European Middleweight Title. Incidentally his brother Dick had been the first non white fighter to win a British Title when he had beaten Vince Hawkins in 1948 for the British Middleweight Title, following the removal of the colour bar that had been in place since 1911. In 1951 Sugar Ray Robinson, who is considered by many to be the greatest boxer of all time, embarked on a European tour. The final leg of his tour was a fight for the world title with Randolph Turpin in London. Few people gave Turpin a chance of winning against Robinson and in fact many people thought that it was a mismatch and that Turpin could be badly hurt. [13] Robinson had been unbeaten as an amateur and had only lost one fight out of a total of 132 as a professional, and that was to Jake LaMotta. He had subsequently avenged the loss to LaMotta, beating him a total of five times. On 10 July 1951 a crowd of 18,000 turned up at Earls Court to watch Turpin fight Robinson. Many people listened to the fight on the wireless to see if Turpin could beat Robinson. Turpin was not overawed by the occasion and took the fight to Robinson from the first bell. Robinson had trouble dealing with Turpin's awkward style of fighting and was manhandled by Turpin in the clinches. By the 15th round Turpin was ahead on points and only had to survive the round to win. At the end of the fight Turpin's glove was raised by the referee in victory. [14] He was the first British fighter to hold the world middleweight title since Bob Fitzsimmons in 1891. He had become an overnight sporting hero. Two days later he was given a civic reception before a crowd of 10,000 people in his home town of Leamington with the mayors of both Leamington and Warwick present. [2][15][16]
Boxing in the 1950s was a mainstream sport alongside football and cricket and with the advent of television it was increasing in popularity. Britain was still recovering from the impact of the war and was a bleak place to live for a lot of people, with rationing of food still in place. As such, the victory of a British fighter over an American fighter who was already being regarded as a superstar in the sport of boxing, was something for the whole nation to cheer about. [6]
In order to get the fight with Robinson, Turpin had to sign a contract that contained a 90 day return clause. Meaning that if he won, he had to give Robinson a return fight within 90 days of the original fight. The return fight took place on 12 September 1951 at the Polo Grounds, New York before a crowd of 61,370 people. Turpin again gave Robinson a hard fight and it was fairly even going into the 10th round. Robinson sustained a bad cut and in desperation went for a knockout. He managed to knock Turpin down with a big right hand punch. Turpin got up at the count of nine and was then trapped against the ropes and taking a sustained beating when the referee Ruby Goldstein stopped the fight. Some people said that the stoppage was premature but by today's standards it was not. Turpin's reign had lasted only 64 days. [17][18][19]
An article, written in April 1952, quoted Randolph as wanting to retire in 'one or two years' and go into business with Leslie T. Salts (owner of Gwrych Castle), and teach youngsters across Britain to fight in the 'ideal surroundings' of Gwrych, instead of the school of hard knocks he experienced as a youth. He planned on building a gymnasium at the castle for young boxers to train in. [20]
During his time at Gwrych, he picked up on a few Welsh words from dating Gwyneth Price and he would sign his autographs with 'Hên lwc' (Old luck), 'Pob lwc' (Every luck) and 'Lwc Dda' (Good luck), although it is not known how proficient he was at speaking it. Turpin fought Don Cockell in 1952 for the British and Commonwealth Light Heavyweight Titles. He stopped Cockell in the 11th round. [21] Cockell would later go on to give Rocky Marciano a good fight for the heavyweight title. Turpin regained the European Middleweight Title in 1953 with a points victory over Charles Humez, and was recognised as world champion in Europe. [22] However, Turpin's world title was not recognised in America. Following the retirement of Sugar Ray Robinson Turpin was nominated to fight for the vacant World Middleweight Title against Carl 'Bobo' Olsen. The fight against Olson took place at Madison Square Gardens in 1953. Turpin had not trained properly for the fight (the reason became apparent after the fight). He won the first three rounds but then faded badly and was outpointed over 15 rounds having been floored in the ninth and tenth rounds. Turpin spent much of the fight trapped on the ropes taking punches at close quarters to the head and body. After the fight Turpin was urinating blood indicating that he had suffered damage to his kidneys from Olson's sustained body punches. [2][23]
The Olson fight was the turning point in Turpin's career. He was never the same fighter after the punishment he absorbed in that fight and thereafter became a diminished fighting force. In addition, he was having trouble making the middleweight weight limit of 72.5 kg. [9]
Turpin suffered a first round stoppage loss to Tiberio Mitri who was not known as a big puncher. In Rome in 1954 when he was caught by a left hook and half punched and half pushed to the canvas. He fell heavily and hit the back of his head on the ring floor, staggering to his feet only to collapse into the ropes before again regaining his feet. The referee decided he was in no fit state to continue and stopped the fight. [24]
Mitri had exploited a flaw in Turpin's boxing technique whereby he dropped his right hand which was supposed to protect his chin, leaving him exposed to a left hook. In his younger days his reflexes had been fast enough to prevent such a thing from happening. But as he aged his reflexes began to slow and his punch resistance diminished. In addition, he was suffering from eye problems. His eyes had become misaligned and his peripheral vision was starting to deteriorate. The British Board of Boxing control (BBBC) made Turpin have a full medical, but decided that he was fit enough to continue his career. [9]
Following a nine month break, Turpin returned as a light heavyweight (79.38 kg), but could no longer be considered a true world title contender in this weight division. Although there was talk of matching him against Archie Moore for the world title. He was fighting bigger men, who were just as strong as he was and could absorb his punches whilst punching, as hard as he did. Thus, taking away some of the advantages he had enjoyed whilst boxing as a middleweight. He still dominated at a domestic level and in 1955 he beat Alex Buxton to take the British and Commonwealth Light Heavyweight Titles. However, in October of that year he was knocked out by the unheralded Canadian dock worker Gordon Wallace. Suffering four knockdowns in the process and announced his retirement. [9]
He came out of retirement in 1956 and scored two wins before losing on points to Hans Stretz in Germany. [25] In November of that year he beat Alex Buxton again for the British Light Heavyweight Title. The BBBC stopped a proposed fight between Turpin and Willie Pastrano from going ahead because they thought that it was not in the best interests of boxing. In other words, they thought that Turpin might get hurt, which would damage the image of boxing. [9]
He had his final fight in 1958 when he was badly knocked out by Yolande Pompey. Turpin was knocked flat on his back by a right hand punch to the side of the head. He gamely tried to get up four times but each time stumbled whilst trying to regain his feet and fell back onto the canvas before being counted out. [2] He had knocked Pompey down in the first round but instead of trying to finish him off had touched gloves in a gesture of sportsmanship, which may well have cost him the fight. [9]
The BBBC stopped him acting as a sparring partner for Terry Downes in 1961. Because of their fears concerning the cumulative effect on his physical health of the punishment he had absorbed during the course of his boxing career. He had two unlicensed fights (not licensed by the BBBC) in 1963 and 1964 against opponents who were making their professional debuts and he stopped both of them.

Мектепті бітіргеннен кейін Рэндольф құрылыс алаңында жұмыс істеді. 1945 жылы ол Корольдік теңіз күштерінің HMS Ganges оқу орталығына оқуға түсті, онда ол аспаз болуға дайындық жасады. Бір кемедегі серігінің айтуынша, ол «суық және кесек таңғы ас» дайындаған. 1986 жылы Джон Дуглас еске алды: «Бокс командасының мүшесі және кейіннен Жеңіл салмақтағы чемпион ретінде мен бас аспазды тексеруге таңдалдым. Бұл оңай болады деп ойладым, бірақ ол бізді адамдардай қабылдаған санаулы адамдардың бірі еді, сонымен қатар ол жақсы мінезді, әрдайым күлімдеп жүретін. Сондықтан мен оны жібердім». [26] Алайда, бокстағы дарынының арқасында ол ұлттық титулдар жеңіп, оларға даңқ әкелгендіктен, алдағы жарыстарға дайындықпен көбірек уақыт өткізуге рұқсат алды. 1948 жылға дейін теңіз күштерінде қызмет етті. [9]
1945 жылы ол сүйіктісі Мэри Стакпен туған қызғаныштан туған даудан кейін, линимент ішіп, өзін-өзі өлтіруге тырысқаны үшін айыпталды. Сол кезде өзін-өзі өлтіруге талпыну қылмыстық құқық бұзушылық саналды. Алайда, оқиға тергелді және оның кездейсоқ болғаны анықталды. [9]
1947 жылы ол алғашқы әйелі Мэриге (туған аты Стак, 1928–2019) үйленді. Бірақ, олардың некесі бақытты болмады. Олардың арасындағы проблемалардың себебі, екеуі де жас кезінде үйленгендіктен, әлі де жетілмегендігі болды. Ол оның басқа әйелдермен сырбаздық жасағанына сенді. Сонымен қатар, ол өзін-өзі бақылауға бейім және тез ашуға ұшырайтын болды. Ол дауларды шешу үшін күш қолдануға қарсы емес екенін айтты. 1948 жылы ол оны тұрмыстық зорлық-зомбылыққа ұқтырды. Оқиға оның түні бойы үйден кеткеннен кейін болды, ол үйге келгенде қайда болғанын сұрады. Ол бастапқыда дос үйінде болғанын айтты. Ол оған сенбеді және оның түнді басқа әйелмен өткізгенін ойлады. Ол оған өз уақытын қалай өткізгені оның ісі емес екенін айтты. Ол оған шабуыл жасағанын мәлімдеді. Ол оны сыпырғыш сабымен соншалық күшпен ұрып, оны сындырды. Ол «Маған тағы ұрма. Мен бала күтіп тұрмын» деп айқайлағанда, ол «Жақсы, мен оны тез арада түзетемін» деді және оны жерге жатып жатқанда ішін тепті, ол оны құлатты. Турпин оның айыптауларын жоққа шығарды, бірақ ол оған қарғыс айтып, оны шапалақтағанын мойындады. Сот ісі аяқталғаннан кейін оған тағылған айыптар алынып тасталды. Олардың Рэндольф Турпин кіші деген ұлы болды, бірақ 1953 жылы ажырасты. Ажырасқаннан кейін Турпин ұлынан алыстады. [9][27]
Турпин Америкада Робинсонмен қайта кездесу жекпе-жегіне дайындық жасағанда Адель Дэниелспен танысты. Олар қарым-қатынас орнатып, ол оған үйленіп, Англияға әкелуге уәде берді. Ол үйге оралғаннан кейін онымен байланысын жоғалтты, бірақ Олсонмен жекпе-жегі үшін Америкаға оралғанда олар қарым-қатынасын қайта жаңартты. Жекпе-жегінен кейін ол оны зорлау және шабуыл жасады деп айыптады. Турпин тұтқындалды, бірақ ол келесі сот барысында айыптаудан бас тартты және соттан тыс төлемге келісті. Турпин оның айыптауларын жоққа шығарды және ол өзіне үйлену уәдесін бұзғаны үшін кек қайтаруға тырысқанын айтты. [28] Осы оқиға Рэндольфтің ағасы Дикпен ұрысқа түсуіне себеп болды, ол Дэниелске оның бірінші некесінде болған оқиғаларды айтқаны үшін кінәлады. [2]
Турпин өзінің қарыштама жылдарында плейбой және әйелдерге құмар адам ретінде танымал болды және күйеуі Турпиннің әйелімен неке адалдығын бұзғанын мәлімдеген ажырасу ісінде аталды. [9][29]
The incident led to Randolph falling out with his brother Dick whom he blamed for telling Daniels what had happened in his first marriage. [2]
Турпин екінші әйелі Гвинетпен (туған аты Прайс, 1925–1992) Робинсонмен жекпе-жегіне дайындық жасағанда Уэльстегі Гвирих қамалында танысты. Олар 1953 жылы Веллингтон, Телфорд қаласында үйленді және төрт қызы болды: Гвинет, Аннет, Шармен және Кармен. [2][30]
Turpin met his second wife Gwyneth (née Price, 1925–1992) the daughter of a Welsh farmer whilst training for the Robinson fight at Gwrych Castle in Wales. They married in Wellington, Telford in 1953 and had four daughters, Gwyneth, Annette, Charmaine and Carmen. [2][30]
Ол жаттығумен айналыспаған кезде американдық комикс кітаптарын оқуға қызығушылық танытты, ол оларды кешке Гвич қамалының аумағында оқып, бітіргеннен кейін қалтасына салып қоятын. Ол сондай-ақ поэзия оқуға қызығушылық танытты. [31][32]
Кәсіпкерлік қатынастар және банкроттық
Тёрпин бизнес-серігі Лесли Солтспен бірге «The Great Ormes Head» қонақүйін сатып алды. [33] Бизнес ешқашан пайда таппады және оның қаржысын сарқып жіберді, соңында 1961 жылы Тёрпин банкротқа ұшырағанға дейін зиянмен сатылды. [2] Ол инвестицияны жалғастырмауды менеджерінен кеңес алған, өйткені Солтсқа сенімсіздік білдірген. [9] Тёрпин өзінің қарымында болғанда ақшасын бос жұмсаған. Ақшаға деген көзқарасы – оны жұмсау үшін берілген, ал ол тапқандықтан, қалағанын істей алады деген еді. Дегенмен, ол осы философияны шамадан тыс ұстанды және шығыстарын қадағалай алмады. Сонымен қатар, ол қиын жағдайға түскен әркімге кең пейілділік танытып, достары деп есептеген адамдарға ақша беріп немесе қарызға беріп жүрді. Бірде Тёрпин: «Мен ақша туралы білімі жоқ адаммын», – деген. [9] Манджерының жазбаларынан көрініп тұрғандай, карьерасы барысында ол шамамен 300 000 фунт стерлинг табыс тапқан. Инфляция есебімен бүгінгі ақшамен шамамен 7 миллион фунт стерлингке тең. [2][35]
Turpin had been free and easy with his money when in his prime. His attitude towards money was that it was for spending and that as he had earned it, he could spend it as he pleased. However, he took this philosophy too far and failed to keep track of his spending. In addition, he became a soft touch for anyone with a hard luck story and gave money away or lent it to people whom he considered to be his friends. Turpin once said "I am really a most illiterate man about money. "[9] During the course of his career he is estimated from records kept by his manager, to have grossed in the region of £300,000. Which would be the equivalent of £7,000,000 in today's money when re valued by the rate of inflation. [2][35]
Prior to the second Robinson fight the system had been that an accountant dealt with the financial matters and his manager countersigned cheques for Randolph to withdraw money from his boxing earnings. However, after the second Robinson fight. He said that he wanted to take control of his own finances and his manager obliged. His manager said that he tried to impress upon Randolph that boxing was a short career and that he should put some money away, so that he would have something to fall back on when his career was over. However, he wouldn't take notice and continued spending money at a prodigious rate. [2]
His problems with the Inland Revenue (HMRC) started after the second Robinson fight. He had been paid in cash for his share of the film rights for televising the fight. He didn’t declare this amount to HMRC and gave the money to one of his contacts for safe keeping. When he went back to the person to get his money, they wouldn’t give it to him. Furthermore, they reported him to HMRC for tax evasion. He couldn’t take legal action against the person to recover his money because he had not declared it as income for tax purposes. As a result, in the years following the second Robinson fight. When he submitted his accounts and paid tax on the amount of earnings stated in them, less allowable expenses. The revenue started treating him as if he had understated his income and would issue an assessment based on what they estimated he had actually earned. Turpin kept appealing the assessments forwarded to him by the Inland Revenue (HMRC) in the belief that he had already paid all the tax due to them. HMRC assessed him on what they estimated he owed them over the period and sent him a tax bill for £100,000 for unpaid tax, penalty charges and interest, for the years where he had not made the additional tax payments. They said that he would have to appear at a commissioners hearing to finally settle the matter, as it had been dragging on for too many years. [2]
Turpin had not kept good financial records and didn’t have receipts for a lot of the expenses that he had claimed against his income. Because he didn’t trust banks and paid for most things in cash. Meaning that there was no audit trail. He also claimed to have never received much of the money that he was said to have earned. [2]
The tax bill was eventually reduced to an amount of £17,126 following an emotional appeal by his accountant Max Mitchell at the commissioners hearing, in which he said: "As time goes on the punching power of a boxer is enfeebled. The longer he pursues his profession his brain through constant pummelling is numbed. His eyes are affected, deafness overtakes him and in effect he is lucky that in the prime of his manhood he doesn't turn into a two legged vegetable. And yet no allowance is given to a boxer by the Inland Revenue for the inevitable remorseless wasting away he undergoes because of the exacting nature of his profession. Is that fair? Therefore, I claim that my client's expenses should be allowed although estimated, in view of the tax advantages allowed to industrialists." However, by this time Turpin only had assets worth £1,204 left, and was declared bankrupt for an amount of £15,922 in 1962. [2][36] Under the bankruptcy laws of that time Turpin was ordered to pay two pounds a week towards clearing his debt and was discharged from bankruptcy in 1965. [9]
He had purchased a transport café in Leamington prior to being made bankrupt which was in his wife's name. The building was under threat of compulsory purchase by the council when he bought it. However, he still went ahead, despite people telling him not to do so. For the first year, the cafe was partly managed by Arthur Adams who had previously worked for six years as a barman at Turpin and Salts' Great Orme's Summit Hotel complex until he returned to Llandudno. [37] Randolph put up a plaque behind the counter which said "That which seldom comes back to him who waits is the money he lends to his friends. "[2] He worked at a scrapyard owned by his manager and then started to make a living as a wrestler. [38]
He wrestled for a number of years but again made the mistake of not putting money aside to pay the tax bill on his wrestling earnings. At the bankruptcy hearing Turpin said that he didn't have anyone looking after his financial affairs (an accountant) in relation to his wrestling earnings and added that he had not received any claims from the revenue on his earnings. At that the assistant receiver said "You might be coming in here again then?" Turpin replied "No Sir, I don't think that is possible. "[9]
To begin with he was billed as a boxer versus a wrestler and was paid over £100 for this type of contest. However, as time went on the novelty of seeing a former world boxing champion in the wrestling ring wore off. He was forced to actually start wrestling and accept in the region of £25 for a contest. Apparently, he was amateurish at wrestling but received many bookings on the back of his name. He had only received rudimentary instructions on how to wrestle from his friend George Kidd and he was only doing it because he needed the money. To earn sufficient money, he started going on wrestling tours throughout the country and to kill the boredom in the evenings would go out drinking with his new wrestling friends. At his bankruptcy hearing he had said "When you go out with the wrestling boys you can spend up to £10 to £15 a night. "[9] This illustrated his attitude. He was in dire financial straits, but would still stand his round on a night out with his friends. Turpin stated that he received more injuries from wrestling than he ever did during his boxing career. Particularly to his back and legs as a result of being thrown around the ring by men who were more skilful than him in the art of wrestling. [2]
Екінші Робинсонмен болған жекпе-жектен бұрын қаржы мәселелерімен бухгалтер айналысқан, ал менеджері Рэндольфтың бокс еңбегінен ақша алуы үшін чектерге қол қойған. Бірақ екінші Робинсон жекпе-жегінен кейін ол қаржысын өзі басқарғысы келетінін айтты, және менеджері оған келісім берді. Менеджері Рэндольфқа бокс – қысқа өмір сүретін карьера екенін, одан кейін де қолдану үшін ақша жинауы керектігін түсіндіруге тырысты. Бірақ ол мұны ескермей, ақшаны шамадан тыс жұмсауын жалғастырды. [2] Оның Ішкі Кірістер Мекемесімен (HMRC) проблемалары екінші Робинсонмен болған жекпе-жектен кейін басталды. Ол жекпе-жекті теледидардан көрсету үшін фильм құқықтарын қолма-қол ақшамен сатып алған. Ол бұл соманы HMRC-ге жарияламады және ақшаны сақтау үшін танысының біріне тапсырды. Ақшаны қайтарып алу үшін ол адамға барғанда, олар оған қайтармады. Сонымен қатар, олар оны салықтан қашу үшін HMRC-ге хабарлады. Ол ақшаны қайтару үшін оған қарсы сотқа жүгіне алмады, өйткені оны салық төлеу үшін табыс ретінде жарияламаған. Нәтижесінде, екінші Робинсон жекпе-жегінен кейінгі жылдары ол есептерін ұсынғанда және жарияланған табысынан салық төлегенде, рұқсат етілген шығыстар ескерілді. Мекеме оның табысын төмендеткенін есептеді және оның нақты тапқан сомасына негізделген бағалау шығарды. Тёрпин оған Ішкі Кірістер Мекемесі (HMRC) жіберген бағалауларға шағымдануын жалғастырды, өйткені ол оларға тиісті салықты толық төлегенін сенді. HMRC оның осы кезеңдегі қарызын бағалады және төленбеген салық, айыппұлдар мен пайыздар үшін 100 000 фунт стерлингтік салық шот-фактурасын жіберді. Олар мәселені аяқтау үшін комиссарлар отырысына қатысуы керектігін айтты, өйткені ол тым ұзаққа созылып келеді. [2]

Тёрпин қаржылық жазбаларды дұрыс сақтамады және кірісіне қатысты шығындарының көп бөлігіне түбіртектері болмады. Ол банктерге сенбегендіктен және көптеген нәрселерді қолма-қол төлегендіктен, аудит жолы болмады. Сондай-ақ, ол өзі тапқан ақшаның көп бөлігін ешқашан алмағанын мәлімдеді. [2]

Салық шот-фактурасы бухгалтер Макс Митчелл комиссарлар отырысында эмоционалды түрде сөйлегеннен кейін 17 126 фунт стерлингке дейін төмендетілді, ол былай деді: «Уақыт өте келе боксшының соққысы әлсірейді. Ол кәсібімен айналыса берген сайын, миы үнемі соққыға ұшырағандықтан, сезімталдығын жояды. Оның көзі зақымданады, саңыраулық пайда болады және ол өмірінің жақсы кезінде екі аяқты көкөніске айналмағаны үшін бақытты. Бірақ Ішкі Кірістер Мекемесі боксшының кәсібінің талапты табиғатынан туындайтын сөзсіз жойылуына ешқандай жеңілдік бермейді. Бұл әділ бе? Сондықтан клиентімнің шығындарын бағалау арқылы рұқсат етуді талап етемін, өнеркәсіпшілерге берілген салықтық артықшылықтарды ескере отырып». Бірақ сол кезде Тёрпиннің еншісінде 1204 фунт стерлинг ғана қалды және 1962 жылы 15 922 фунт стерлингтік сомаға банкрот деп жарияланды. [2][36] Сол кездегі банкроттық заңдарына сәйкес Тёрпинге борышын өтеу үшін аптасына екі фунт төлеуге бұйрық берілді және ол 1965 жылы банкроттықтан босатылды. [9]
Turpin had been free and easy with his money when in his prime. His attitude towards money was that it was for spending and that as he had earned it, he could spend it as he pleased. However, he took this philosophy too far and failed to keep track of his spending. In addition, he became a soft touch for anyone with a hard luck story and gave money away or lent it to people whom he considered to be his friends. Turpin once said "I am really a most illiterate man about money. "[9] During the course of his career he is estimated from records kept by his manager, to have grossed in the region of £300,000. Which would be the equivalent of £7,000,000 in today's money when re valued by the rate of inflation. [2][35]
Prior to the second Robinson fight the system had been that an accountant dealt with the financial matters and his manager countersigned cheques for Randolph to withdraw money from his boxing earnings. However, after the second Robinson fight. He said that he wanted to take control of his own finances and his manager obliged. His manager said that he tried to impress upon Randolph that boxing was a short career and that he should put some money away, so that he would have something to fall back on when his career was over. However, he wouldn't take notice and continued spending money at a prodigious rate. [2]
His problems with the Inland Revenue (HMRC) started after the second Robinson fight. He had been paid in cash for his share of the film rights for televising the fight. He didn’t declare this amount to HMRC and gave the money to one of his contacts for safe keeping. When he went back to the person to get his money, they wouldn’t give it to him. Furthermore, they reported him to HMRC for tax evasion. He couldn’t take legal action against the person to recover his money because he had not declared it as income for tax purposes. As a result, in the years following the second Robinson fight. When he submitted his accounts and paid tax on the amount of earnings stated in them, less allowable expenses. The revenue started treating him as if he had understated his income and would issue an assessment based on what they estimated he had actually earned. Turpin kept appealing the assessments forwarded to him by the Inland Revenue (HMRC) in the belief that he had already paid all the tax due to them. HMRC assessed him on what they estimated he owed them over the period and sent him a tax bill for £100,000 for unpaid tax, penalty charges and interest, for the years where he had not made the additional tax payments. They said that he would have to appear at a commissioners hearing to finally settle the matter, as it had been dragging on for too many years. [2]
Turpin had not kept good financial records and didn’t have receipts for a lot of the expenses that he had claimed against his income. Because he didn’t trust banks and paid for most things in cash. Meaning that there was no audit trail. He also claimed to have never received much of the money that he was said to have earned. [2]
The tax bill was eventually reduced to an amount of £17,126 following an emotional appeal by his accountant Max Mitchell at the commissioners hearing, in which he said: "As time goes on the punching power of a boxer is enfeebled. The longer he pursues his profession his brain through constant pummelling is numbed. His eyes are affected, deafness overtakes him and in effect he is lucky that in the prime of his manhood he doesn't turn into a two legged vegetable. And yet no allowance is given to a boxer by the Inland Revenue for the inevitable remorseless wasting away he undergoes because of the exacting nature of his profession. Is that fair? Therefore, I claim that my client's expenses should be allowed although estimated, in view of the tax advantages allowed to industrialists." However, by this time Turpin only had assets worth £1,204 left, and was declared bankrupt for an amount of £15,922 in 1962. [2][36] Under the bankruptcy laws of that time Turpin was ordered to pay two pounds a week towards clearing his debt and was discharged from bankruptcy in 1965. [9]
He had purchased a transport café in Leamington prior to being made bankrupt which was in his wife's name. The building was under threat of compulsory purchase by the council when he bought it. However, he still went ahead, despite people telling him not to do so. For the first year, the cafe was partly managed by Arthur Adams who had previously worked for six years as a barman at Turpin and Salts' Great Orme's Summit Hotel complex until he returned to Llandudno. [37] Randolph put up a plaque behind the counter which said "That which seldom comes back to him who waits is the money he lends to his friends. "[2] He worked at a scrapyard owned by his manager and then started to make a living as a wrestler. [38]
He wrestled for a number of years but again made the mistake of not putting money aside to pay the tax bill on his wrestling earnings. At the bankruptcy hearing Turpin said that he didn't have anyone looking after his financial affairs (an accountant) in relation to his wrestling earnings and added that he had not received any claims from the revenue on his earnings. At that the assistant receiver said "You might be coming in here again then?" Turpin replied "No Sir, I don't think that is possible. "[9]
To begin with he was billed as a boxer versus a wrestler and was paid over £100 for this type of contest. However, as time went on the novelty of seeing a former world boxing champion in the wrestling ring wore off. He was forced to actually start wrestling and accept in the region of £25 for a contest. Apparently, he was amateurish at wrestling but received many bookings on the back of his name. He had only received rudimentary instructions on how to wrestle from his friend George Kidd and he was only doing it because he needed the money. To earn sufficient money, he started going on wrestling tours throughout the country and to kill the boredom in the evenings would go out drinking with his new wrestling friends. At his bankruptcy hearing he had said "When you go out with the wrestling boys you can spend up to £10 to £15 a night. "[9] This illustrated his attitude. He was in dire financial straits, but would still stand his round on a night out with his friends. Turpin stated that he received more injuries from wrestling than he ever did during his boxing career. Particularly to his back and legs as a result of being thrown around the ring by men who were more skilful than him in the art of wrestling. [2]
Ол банкротқа ұшырағанға дейін Леамингтонда әйелінің атына тиесілі көлік кафесін сатып алған. Ол ғимаратты сатып алған кезде кеңес оны мәжбүрлеп сатып алу қаупі төндірген болатын. Бірақ ол, адамдар оған бұлай етпеуін айтса да, оны жалғастыра берді. Алғашқы жылы кафеге жартылай жетекшілік еткен Артур Адамс, бұрын Тёрпин мен Солтстың «Great Orme's Summit» қонақ үй кешенінде алты жыл бармен болып жұмыс істеген. Кейін ол Лландудноға оралды. [37] Рэндольф кассаның артына «Күткенге ақша қайта келмейді, ол достарына қарыз берген ақша» деген тақтайшаны орнатты. [2] Ол менеджеріне тиесілі қоймада жұмыс істеді, содан кейін күресші ретінде өмір сүруге кірісті. [38]

Ол бірнеше жыл күресті, бірақ күрес еңбегінен салық төлеу үшін ақша жинамау қатесін қайтадан жасады. Банкроттық отырысында Тёрпин күрес еңбегіне қатысты қаржылық мәселелерді қарастыратын ешкімі (бухгалтер) болмағанын айтты және ол кірісінен ешқандай талап алмағанын қосты. Сол кезде көмекші қабылдаушы: «Содан кейін сіз қайтадан келесіз бе?» деді. Тёрпин: «Жоқ мырза, менің ойымша, мұндай нәрсе мүмкін емес», – деп жауап берді. [9]

Бастапқыда ол боксшыға қарсы күресші ретінде жарнамаланды және осы типтегі жарыс үшін 100 фунттан астам ақша алды. Бірақ уақыт өте келе, бұрынғы әлемдік бокс чемпионының күрес сақинасында көрінуінің жаңалығы жойылды. Ол күреске қатысып, жарыс үшін шамамен 25 фунт алуға мәжбүр болды. Көрінеу, ол күресте жаңа болған, бірақ оның атының арқасында көптеген тапсырыстар алды. Ол достасы Джордж Кидден күреске қатысу бойынша қарапайым нұсқаулар алды және ол тек ақшаға мұқтаж болғандықтан осымен айналысты. Жеткілікті ақша табу үшін ол ел бойынша күрес турларына қатысты және кешкі уақытта көңіл көтеру үшін күресші достарымен ішімдік ішуге шықты. Банкроттық отырысында ол: «Күресшілермен бірге шыққанда түніне 10-15 фунт жұмсауға болады», – деді. [9] Бұл оның көзқарасын көрсетті. Ол қаржылық қиындыққа тап болды, бірақ әлі де достарымен бірге түнгі іс-шараларда өз кезегін төлейтін. Тёрпин күрес кезінде бокс карьерасында болғаннан гөрі көп жарақат алғанын айтты. Әсіресе, одан жақсы күрескен адамдар сақинада лақтырғандықтан, арқасы мен аяқтарына. [2]

Өлім
Өлімінен үш күн бұрын Турпин HMRC-ден күрес арқылы тапқан 800 фунт стерлинг салықтан қарызды өтеу туралы соңғы талап алды. Алайда, ол күреспен тапқан ақшасын қанағаттандырып болғандықтан, екінші рет банкрот болу қаупі туды. Сонымен қатар, қала әкімдігі оның тұрған үйін сатып алып, оны автотұраққа айналдыру туралы шешім қабылдады. Ол күрестен қол үзді, енді кафе оның жалғыз табыс көзіне, ал үстіндегі пәтер – үйіне айналды. Бокс спортын қыраудан зейнетке шыққаннан бері ол қаржылық қиындықтарға байланысты депрессияға ұшырады. Оның жеке дәрігері Турпиннің бокс карьерасы кезінде басына тиген көптеген соққылардың салдарынан миы шатырлап қалғанын айтты. Бұл оның қарттық шағында көңілінің күйреуіне әкелді. Ол бокс мансабына ашуланып, өзін ақша алмай тұрып салық төлеуге мәжбүр етіп пайдаланды деп ойлады. Кез келген бейтаныс адам оның рингте өткен уақыты туралы сөйлескісі келсе, ол әңгіме тақырыбын өзгертетін. Оның басына оқ тиген (оқ бас сүйегіне ілініп, миға енбеген), ал жүрегіне тиген екінші оқтан көз жұмды. Ол бауырлары мен қарындастарынан алыстады, себебі олар оның әйелі Гвинетпен жақсы қарым-қатынаста болмады. Өзіне қол жұмсауға бел буғанда, ол табылған бөлменің есігіне іліп қойған хатында оларға ештеңе бермеу керектігін және оның Уэльске қайта оралуын қалағанын жазды, себебі олар сол жерде ең бақытты болған. Оның қосылуында дін қызметкері Юджин Хазельден былай деді: "Рандолф мансабының шарықталу нүктесінде өзін достар мен ізгі ниеттілер деп санайтындармен қоршалған еді. Бірақ ол өзінің мәртебесі мен ақшасынан айырылғаннан кейін көптеген адамдар оны тастап кетті. Достарының құлшынуы және тиімсіз кеңестер оған ауыр тиген болуы керек. Рандолф қарапайым, наив адам еді және оны пайдаланушылардан қорғау үшін достарға мұқтаж болды. Біздің үлкен ұятымызға орай, ол көмексіз қалды. Бұл оның ғана емес, бүкіл қоғамның трагедиясы". Гордон Уоллеске ұтылып қайтадан рингке шыққаннан кейін Турпин "Қайта оралу жолы" атты өлең жазды, оның соңғы шумағы былай: "Осылайша біз қиын да қатыгез болған ойыннан шықтық. Ал ринг жанындағы орындықта шоуда. Біз келесі адамды қараймыз, тек бір ақымақ".
"So we leave this game which was hard and cruel. And down at the show on a ringside stool. We’ll watch the next man, just one more fool."
