NORMAN, Okla. -- Former Ohio State assistant Lou Rosselli has been named the head wrestling coach at Oklahoma.Rosselli was promoted from Ohio State assistant coach to associate head coach following the 2008-09 season after helping lead the Buckeyes to NCAA runner-up finishes in 2008 and 2009. He also helped the program claim its first national championship in 2015.Rosselli was the 2014 USA Wrestling Freestyle coach of the year. He served as a volunteer coach for the U.S. Olympic Freestyle Team at both the 2016 Rio Games, where the U.S. earned two medals (one gold), and the 2012 London Games, where the U.S. won three medals (two gold).The Sooners made the announcement Tuesday.

When Randolph Turpin beat Sugar Ray Robinson for the world middleweight title on July 10, 1951 he achieved a feat unlikely to ever be matched by any British boxer. But it also sent him spiralling towards a premature death.When Sheffields Kell Brook challenges Gennady Golovkin for his WBC, WBA and IBF world middleweight titles in London on Sept. 10, there will be inevitable comparisons with Turpins upset win over Robinson. Golovkin has a fearsome knockout record and will be a big favourite to continue his KO run against Brook at the O2 Arena, but Turpin faced a far bigger task.Robinson was a huge global star at the time, boxings undisputed pound-for-pound king and is generally regarded as the best pugilist in history. Before facing Turpin, His Sugarness had lost just once in 132 bouts over 11 years.Robinson arrived in the UK after an exhausting tour of Europe which featured six exhibition bouts, the last of which in Italy was just nine days before he stepped in the ring in front of 18,000 at Earls Court, London.Robinson, originally from Detroit but based in Harlem, underestimated the challenger from Leamington as he played golf in the day and cards through the night as his first world middleweight title defence approached. The night before the fight, he was said to have been playing cards and singing around a piano at his hotel in Windsor.Ex-Navy cook Turpin, despite being the home fighter, was largely ignored in the build-up to the fight and travelled to Earls Court by tube. Nobody outside of his team expected him to pull off an upset against the 1-4 favourite Robinson and millions -- including King George VI -- tuned into the radio to hear the fight live.Robinson had won the title from his fellow American Jake LaMotta earlier in the year in the St Valentines Day Massacre. But his first defence was a different affair and Robinson was unable to get into his rhythm as the challenger tied him up and roughed him up. Turpins awkward style and stamina saw him assume the ascendency as Robinsons slick skills deserted him.He never hurt me once, said Turpin.Robinson looked jaded and had to conteend with a cut above his left eye as well as fatigue.dddddddddddd By the latter rounds, the outcome became inevitable and Turpins hand was raised after 15 rounds as the crowd sang For Hes a Jolly Good Fellow.He was better than I was, said Robinson.The famous victory should have set Turpin up for life, but due to a clause in the fight contract there was a swift rematch, followed by a steady decline.Just 64 days later Robinson got revenge and his world middleweight title back via a brutal 10th-round stoppage at the Polo Grounds in New York. With Turpin penned against the ropes Robinson unloaded a frenzied, unanswered attack. Turpins body lay limp against the ropes and referee Ruby Goldstein waved the fight off, but the Briton felt the stoppage was premature.In the days before four world title belts and phoney champions, Turpin only fought for the middleweight crown once more, when he lost to Bobo Olson by a unanimous decision back in New York in 1953. Turpins career went into decline and he took some punishing beatings before his final licensed bout in 1958.After boxing, Turpin worked in a scrap metal yard before opening a cafe in Leamington and the fortune he made from boxing soon evaporated as he gave away a lot of his ring earnings to hangers on and family while making poor investments.In researching my book A Champions Last Fight, I saw letters written by Turpin who claimed his promoter Jack Solomons and manager George Middleton owed him money from his boxing career.Turpin felt trapped, threatened and betrayed by a £15,000 tax bill and in May 1966, as the nation was looking forward to the forthcoming World Cup and the heavyweight clash between Muhammad Ali and Henry Cooper, Turpin was found shot dead with a suicide note nearby in an upstairs room of his cafe.He was 37 and it was almost 15 years since his glorious win over Robinson when, as an inscription on Turpins statue in Warwick states: In palace, pub and parlour, the whole of Britain held its breath.
