At the time it was being talked about i think Herol would've been in for a tough night. (it may have been signed before Graham fought Kalambay, i could be wrong though) that's how confident they were of beating Kalambay. The main problem being that no one had seen that much of Kalambay over here up till then. Graham's head wasn't in the right place, his style had changed a little and was trading more. It would've been an interesting fight. Iran's confidence at that time was at an high and he was a confidence fighter. Graham's was probabily at a low. He had the style to befuddle Barkley but then he was the easiest to hit then he'd been at any point and Barkley was a big puncher. The thing which is slightly underrated is Graham's punching power. He is misleading because people look at his record and think he couldn't hit, but he could really dig when he wanted to and sat down on his punches. It was more due to him boxing on the backfoot, but he had more then enough to keep you honest. For me he wasn't as fundamentally sound as people like Sumbu who put on clinics. You kind of needed to be against someone who fought balls to the wall for the whole fight like Barkley did. I could see Barkley hurting Graham at some points maybe even dropping him a couple of times (although i don't think it would've happened). You had to stay cool under the gun and keep your bearings for every second and Herol couldn't always do that as he showed against a virtually blind J Jackson. What a shame it didn't come together for him. He had a winnable title fight on the plate. I think he would've frustrated Iran and won with a few oohs and aahs in the process.
Currently studying tonights darts, will be back with a selection for you shortly Wallace. Keep your eyes peeled.:thumbsup
Right followers, im back again with another good thing tonight, you will have seen my surefire winners over the last few days thanks to my patented "system". Tonights analysis brings me back to Gary Anderson @ 2/9. Good luck followers.
The fight is predicted to be all over within in a round or two. It's either Reem knocks Lesnar out or Lesnar takes Reem down, pounds him out. A 50/50 fight. There is some real value in Lesnar in Round 1,2. I still think Lesnar is being vastly under estimated here. If Lesnar can take Reem down then its all over IMO. Lesnar will be shooting early so 8/1 is fantastic odds in the first for Lesnar.
I wouldnt be surprised to see it going a bit like Carwin/Lesnar early on. Hopefully Brock can take him down early and finish it though.
I understand Lesnar is a decent operator, but he's had god knows how long out and had a life threatening illness.. I honestly think White is cashing out on Lesnar this time cos he knows he's physically ruined.
