losses you never quite got over

Grant stopping Herol Graham. I could not talk to anyone for hours as I was so upset.

I always liked Herol and would have thought the Jackson fight would have been harder to stomach for his big fans. I thought Herol was about to get Julian in trouble and then..........

His fight with the body snatcher is one of my favourites.

Strangely if you had to lose that would be the best way to lose. Beating your opponent for 3 1/2 rounds on the verge of stopping Jackson and then getting knocked out clean.

Tyson/Lewis was pretty hard too, I was new to boxing and of course loved Tyson like most do, and to see him get KTFO over and over on the sports shows the morning after sucked. I hated Lennox for years for it.

First PPV I refused an invite to.
Based on who they were feeding to Tyson: McNeely & Mathis, I just couldn't see Tyson beating him, in fact to this day...I have never watched the whole fight.

Hard to not get over a loss, I refused to watch.

It took me years to watch the fight, I was very new to boxing so I didn't understand that the formerly great Tyson was a lamb being lead to the slaughter against Lennox the same way so many were lead to him in the 80s.

That fight was so big. I remember having to make a collect call from a payphone a few days later and the middle aged female operator asked me if I saw the fight and we had a short conversation about how we couldn't believe Tyson lost hahah, EVERYONE was talking about it.

I knew Tyson would lose, but that did not stop me hoping he would win after a good first round. The rest of the fight was just a beat down.

I guess the one-punch KO loss to Rahman Lewis suffered a year prior gave a lot of people hope that Tyson could land that one home run shot.

Press over here were hying the fight but Tyson was smoking spliff in Haiwai whilst in training.

Herol Graham lost to Mike McCallum by a point deducted by the referee after he turned his opponent. That was bad luck. remember that fight because the commentator Harry Carpenter could not commentate during the fight only in-between the rounds as they were on strike. It was unusual experience watching the fight.
