People stand in line to see the Randy Turpin vs. Sugar Ray Robinson fight broadcast live at the State & Lake Theatre in Chicago on Sept. 12, 1951. Chicago was one of 11 cities showing the fight, which occurred in New York at the Polo Grounds. Robinson lost his title to Turpin two months earlier in London. This was the rematch. Robinson grabbed his title back by winning the fight in the tenth-round with a TKO. Photo by Larry Nocerino. (Vintage Tribune)
