    Welterweight for 15

    Does the boxing skill and jab that gave Holman such a hard time trouble Graham similarly to how Larkins boxing skill and jab did (albeit a younger Graham was in vs Larkin) and carry him to the win, or does the very good Graham get it done

    Billy Graham the boxer, the preacher, or the wrestler?

    If Graham gets those 22" pythons on him it's over brother!

    I think The Kid has quite a hard style for Graham to overcome, on his best night id pick him to decision Billy, a series would be very interesting

    A man with sideburns like that is trouble

    What a very difficult match to call. Similar to Graham, Holman Williams was a jabbing master, but Kid was able to out-jab him. Then again, Burley was able to bust Kid up with his jab. Chin and power don't matter much, as Graham wasn't a puncher and Kid couldn't stop Graham. I'll give it to Graham to squeeze a decision. He was the more consistent fighter.

    I'd pick Graham to shade a decision.
