Herol Graham vs Sumbu Kalambay.

Just watched both of these fights, really enjoyed both fights. Herol Graham was hit pretty often in both fights, which was shocking.

Herol Graham was pretty aggressive and ate up alot of solid shots, he was almost KO'ed in the last round of there 1st fight, but in the 2nd fight he had Sumbu Kalmabay down twice and they mostly traded punches in a great clash of styles.

Which was surprising considering both men are normally boxer's. But they really went at it in the 2nd fight, Herol Graham showed his underrated toughness against a world class operator.

Herol supposedly had problem in his first defeat to Sambu, I think Ingle had sold his contract to Lawless.

The second fight he won, he knocked Kalambay down twice and the referee picked his hand up the end but he did not get the decision. The fight I think was in Italy.

What shocked me in both fights Master, is how often Herol Graham was hit. He took many more chances than he normally did, he showed true grit in both fights.

You will know against McCallum he employed a similar strategy. Mike said he was the most awkward and strongest opponent he ever fought. He lost by one point in that fight because the referee took a point away for nothing really.

grahams first fight with kalambay shocked me his change in strategy i just did not get i thought it had something to do with barney eastwood

Yes he was number 1 contender and once Hagler retired he had the pick of fighters to become champion.
