This content is protected This fight is seamless, so that I never knew which round was which. At first, I naturally assumed it was 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on, but when the round I thought was the 8th turned out to be the 10th and last round, there was nothing for me to do. There is no way for me to figure out which round is what. So because of the seamless nature of this match, I have decided to take a blanket type of approach to it. Rather than detailing each round, I will just give a general review of what happened: Graham and Rafferty both had a similar skill set (though Graham's was the better), so the fight experienced few action-packed moments, though there was a lot of tug-of-war going on, with neither assuming an edge for very long. Graham did indeed appear very classy. He was a good mover, and had a quality jab that was not only fast and frequent, but it hit hard, and he was active in clinches too. I liked Graham on the first watch. Rafferty was also a good boxer with a good jab, but less movement. He also was very tough. Late in the match he took a vicious right hand from Graham, and he didn't even flinch. The main thing that separated these two in my mind was speed. Rafferty lost cuz he wasn't as fast as Graham. Verdict: A fight I enjoyed because it was a good performance by Graham, but also because it was interesting to see someone as well-known as Graham for that time fighting a practically unknown Rafferty, yet they seemed near equals. It was no thriller though. I would imagine most of you would not care for it.
