Britain has seen all sorts of American boxers come and go in the last few years. Some have been good; some indifférent. One-Billy Brown has been given the British equivalent of the Bronx. cheer by unanimous acclaim. But per: haps Brown shouldn't be blamed too much. After all, he isn't the first and won't" be the last to be overwhelmed by the coloured British Middleweight Champion, Randolph Turpin. Brown Justed two rounds, and is considered-lucky to have averted disaster that long. The fans, who were expecting a letter performance from a man who went ten rounds with "Sugar" Ray Robinson, expressed" "their disgust in no uncertain manner.
