    Beaten by Maltese fighter Stephen Martin (10-4-1) the guy had a decent career,the comebacks not worked out so surely it's time to call it quits

    If he can pass the medicals and is getting the money he wants/needs, then it is up to him.

    He is not going to be a threat to anything resembling top class. But if that is the standard on which boxers retirements are based, 99% would call it quits after their first fight.

    Not some nobody "Steven Smith" but actually the worldfamous former actor Steve Martin!

    Was a good thought out matchup against Steve Martin. Both originally retied back in 2009, Earl in a 6 rounder farewell bout against a low level journeyman after a KO losing streak, and Martin after cashing out with a second Pink Panther movie knowing he just didn't have it anymore.

    Now he's the WBF World Welterweight Worldchampion of the World and with that on par with the likes of Floyd, Pac and Brook. Good for him :good

    Stopped on towel in the 10th! Earl was clearly finished when Henry Castle done him in one round.

    Poor Graham.. even after this I doubt he'll retire as some euro trash
    Promoter will eventually come calling again for his services.

    He barely took 6 weeks off after being shootout in Australia. He's surely in dire need of cash, so he'll probably spend the next couple of years getting beaten all over Europe and Asia before calling it quits.

    He should be stopped from fighting. Graham was a true warrior and God knows how much damage he's received already. The Katsidis war was more than enough for one man and the Castle beating was horrific.
