    Did Graham get robbed?

    No he did not get robbed, it was a close fight.

    From the footage available, I'd have to agree with the Rock, Billy seemed to edge it. It was rather close though....

    I hope more footage of these two come up. Their two other fights were controversial too.

    I have a ton of fights of Joey Giardello. It seems like he was the most covered fighter of the 1950's for whatever reason. Nearly every high profile fight of his is on film.

    I've seen quite a bit too, but there's still a heap of his fights I'd love to catch which I haven't seen, e.g. the first two Dick Tiger fights, the other Billy Graham fights, his fights with Ralph Dupas, George Benton etc.
