False info

Post by STP »

Whats's the point? Why not give true info?

Mike McCallum was not knocked down in the fight with Herol Graham, none of the three judges counted it because it was a slip on water. Herol Graham was deducted a point in round eight in this fight.

Henry Wharton did not fight Fidel Castro Smith at the Town Hall in Leeds. He fought him at Elland Road football stadium.

Chris Eubank did not weight 158.5 against Michael Justin, he weighed 155.5 and Justin was 152 (not 154). These are crystal clear to hear on the footage.

Also Chris Eubank was deducted a point in round 11 against Rocchigiani (for persistantly ducking low). If your interested?

We shouldn't trust the announced weights, I know from personal experience they are very unreliable. Remember the MC is employed by the promoter, he isn't instructed by the commission, sometimes he doesn't get the right weights, sometimes he gets them the wrong way, sometimes (even often) he doesn't get any weights at all and just makes up some that seem right.
