Mike Macallum Vs Herol Graham

It's a hard tough fight.

Graham throws it away by keeping his hands down at his sides and showboating too much.

 

Herol "bomber" Graham the best british boxer never to win a world title.Macallum just about did enough to win if I remember rightly.

 

No Graham threw McCallum literally over his shoulder and that cost him a draw....

 

Thanks tbooze,i thought the point deduction was somewhat costly.

 

So cruel as well; Bomber was not the most devastating puncher, thus the toss over the shoulder was Graham's party piece and everyone expected him to do it.

 

I know it cost him a draw on the official scorecards.

In reality he lost the fight by between 2-4 points despite it being extremely competitive.A draw would have been unjust to McCallum, though not a robbery.

His stupid showboating ensured he was hit with a lot of needless punches.

 

I personally thought Graham befuddled McCallum and the Bodysnatcher struggled for long periods to get to grips with the Bomber. A draw would of been fair, as was a split decision defeat; I just felt sorry for Graham in that the ref was so harsh with the deduction.

 

That ain't saying much.

 

Well the country dominated the sport for 150 years and still to this day is second overall; so I would say it is saying an awful lot...

 

What, second to Russia? That ain't sayin' much

 

Well no, actually second to a country that its citizens as a whole cannot even name the amount the states that make the country, let alone the actual states...

 

I've heard they spend a lot of time counting stars...
