Herol Graham vs Alan Minter

If Graham could get lucky and cut Minter, but otherwise either a decision or stoppage for Alan Minter.

 

Kevin Finnegan Gave Alan fits with his toughness and Boxing Ability, Ronnie Harris Outboxed Alan and Cut him to Pieces, Even a Jaded Suger Ray Seales was having some successes before Alan Nailed him, I think Alan much preferred the Come Forward Target, i think Herol would Frustrate and Cut Alan to defeat.

 

I think Graham wins a UD. Bad style match-up for Minter, whose more textbook style of boxing will not be as effective against an intuitive slickster like Graham. The only debatable point about Herol is that he bottled it on the big ocassions. But I like him here.

 

graham has style to beat minter ,minter my first real favourite fighter but i would go with graham by cuts win around the tenth

 

Think Herol takes this. Too awkward and quick for Minter.

 

Graham dashes, whilst slicing and dicing Minter up to win a fairly easy Unanimous decision. As Minter would of found out, another black man could take titles from him .

 

he didnt bottle it, he lost a fight on split against mccallum, he was ahead in the brewer fight but got caught, and was on his way to beating and stoping jackson but got caught. A boxer bottling it is johnny nelson against carlos delon

 

I agree with My Dinner with Conteh here, Graham bottled/choked the big ones, he always found a way to lose the big fights, rather than win.

It started with the poor performance against Kalambay, when the Barkley match was there for the taking.

He then showed poor discipline pissing off the ref and losing a point against McCallum.

He got far too cocky against Jackson, when all the warning signs were there about The Hawk's power.

And he lacked that little bit, to gut that final few rounds and sneak past Brewster after his excellent start. Old age may of cost him physically but he should of had enough cunning to edge it.

 

Minter was a fine boxer, he'd beat Graham over 12 or 15 rounds, but of course he was very easy to cut, and that'd be the only way I'd see Bomber Graham stopping him.

 

i think Minter could stop Graham

 

I can understand (but disagree) with the Minter is a cutie who could outpoint Graham, but what is the argument that says Minter stops The Bomber?

 

Minter was a strong puncher not a devastating puncher but he had a respectable dig on him

Jackson didnt have the best of chins and often leaped in and out lunging in but not often, this coupled with a solid punch from Minter could spell disaster.

 

Graham IMO, had enough heart to go 15 rounds with Minter. The argument for Boom Boom, is if he had enough to out cute The Bomber, before his eyes went?

 

Umm Minter wasn't a big puncher and wasnt as good or dangerous as McCallum. Herol's chin only let him down against 1 of the biggest punchers ever at the age of 31 after 42 fights, he took the perfect punch from the perfect puncher in that 1. Much bigger punchers like Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank didn't fancy their chances of cracking Herol's chin

As for my prediction Herol is far too slick and tricky for Minter and would outbox him for a wide UD.
