I thought Herol Graham legitmately lost to Mike McCallum, Sumbu Kalambay 1. But he for 100 percent should of got the nod in the rematch against Sumbu Kalambay. Herol Graham wasn't really defensive in the Sumbu Kalambay fights, he got hit very often.
The first fight with Kalambay was for the european title and number one slot, not the world title. That was without Ingle who sold his rights to the Irish promoter, and he said his head was not there, blew his shot though.
Against McCallum it was very close and he should have won that. The second time he fought Kalamaby was a robbery, think he knocked Kalamabay down at least once but in Italy he was not going to get the decision.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
