I bet it still smarts

Not long after the Benn Eubank fight then.

When you put it all into context, it actually surprises me that Benn even came back to boxing after seeing that. Warriors.

Eubank was the ITV pundit that night.

Watching it back with hindsight (knowing Graham was alright) it's funking comical. Joe Cortez is counting over a dead body, Jimmy Mac doing the comms just absolutely bocked poor old Herol with a "there's not a worse opponent than Herol to have in front of you when you need a one punch knockout," and the sheer shock of "oh no!"

Graham's teeth ended up rattling around in the gum shield. Some punch.

I bet it does. It's weird even though you know it's coming and though you may have seen it countless times, It doesn't lose it's impact. All kinds of mental.

Bob Foster KO of Mike Quarry does the same thing to me! It's one of those things you cannot forget and the impact of that moment never fades.

The story was Graham had new teeth fitted and Jackson had wobbled them. When everyone in his corner was saying just box and the fight will be stopped soon, Graham gets mad and tries to knock out Jackson. Big mistake which he has regretted all his life. Vanity.
