    Graham's finest hour, I'm not sure any of the British middleweights around at that time could have beaten McCallum but Graham came desperately close. I had McCallum just edging it in the end on my scorecard if I remember rightly.

    No doubt, anyone that can go to a SD with McCallum deserves immense credit. I think Graham could have won if he had have been busier, he didnt throw enough punches with his 'in and out' style and allowed McCallum to take the initiative too often, he also seemed to tire the last 2 rounds, which were crucial for a decision. One thing that I was impressed with, was Graham's inside fighting against McCallum, I didnt expect him to hold his own or even get the upper hand when they clashed on the inside, but often he did...

    Bowe vs Golota 1 & 2.

    How Eddie Cotton didn't stop the fight at some stage..... Bowe was taking a right hiding in there, doing little in return - barring the KD obviously.

    Watching Vazquez-Priola. Izzy taking too many shots from someone on Priola's level. Fight was too competitive for my liking, prime Izzy would have put him away early.

    Vazquez needs another tuneup IMO before taking on the top feather's. And if he still doesn't look good he should retire.

    I know that sounds a bit weird but this was meant to be an easy tuneup for Vazquez. It was much harder work than it was supposed to be.

    I watched the 2 Eubank vs Watso fights last night.

    I couldn't remember the fights as I haven't seen them since they first happend. I forgot how classy and subtle Eubank was in the first fight. I had him win 118-111 but Watson brought out the best in Eubank.

    The second fight was completely different. Watson appeared to be a monster at 168 and I had him up by 9 rounds going into the 12th. Of course, that all, sadly, became irrelivant.

    I watched that on Youtube over the weekend. Cameron boxed well for the first couple of minutes but Tua has obvioulsy retained the power!

    Chavez-Taylor 1

    Great fight, thought the stoppage was legit. Taylor boxed beautifully but looked absolutely ****ed after the KD.

    Vargas-Mosley 1, how the **** could Vargas' corner, Cortez or the ringside doctor justify letting Vargas go out for the 10th? The doctor couldn't even open the eye, let alone see if it was OK for him to continue, thankfully Cortez saw sense eventually.
