The Truth: Herol Graham and Chris Eubanks

[Nemesis]

I am currently in the middle of reading Johnny Nelson's autobiography and came across this regarding the infamous sparring sessions between the two: -

"Herol bamboozled Chris for several days, much to the frustration of Barney Eastwood. Chris had studied Herol's style all week and finally fathomed it. He produced a thunderous punch that laid Graham out cold."


The sparring took place when Barney eastwood was Eubanks manager, so it must have been in the region of late 80's?

(Apologies if this has been posted before)

[brown bomber]

I could imagine that. Eubanks hit very hard.

[robpalmer135]

if only we could have all seen it.

[TFFP]

I hate it when he's called Eubanks

[brown bomber]

I hate it when he's called EubanksIts his real name. Sorry dude. :D

[TFFP]

Its his real name. Sorry dude. :D
That does't stop it looking gay

Imagine if you were called Jeffs Thomass

[Beeston Brawler]

I have thought about this mythical matchup a few times......

Peak Graham vs pre-Watson II Eubank

or

Peak Graham vs post-Watson II Eubank

Obviously the pre version was more inclined to use power punches, whilst the post version relied on the ability to make an opponent look stupid.

["TKO"]

I hate it when he's called Eubanks

That is actually his given name, he dropped the S for a ring name!

[FLINT ISLAND]

Eubank was paid £300 per week by Ingle to be a sparring partner.

It is alleged that during this period up in Sheffield Eubank copyied a up and coming Naseem Hamed in vaulting over the ring ropes.

Eubank introduced to the wider public at first........as Naz was yet to be a big star.

Eubank could only jump the ropes...............while Naz flipped head first over them !!!!

born Christopher Livingstone Eubanks on 8 August 1966

[brown bomber]

Blow me, you learn something new everyday.

Post Watson Eubank made himself look foolish, remember him knocking himself down versus Malinga? :lol: Eubank was so erratic, he picked his punches beautifully at times but then would often become minging as he tired. Post Watson he was a different fighter but the Wharton performance was a good one.

On a scale of 1 being Ricky Hatton and 10 being Wesley Snipes where are you?

[kurt2006]

He could be a black Muslim gangster (doing it to integrate, and destroy from within) with a cleft lip. He would then literally look, and talk, like an arsehole.

No way is he black. He is bown and I reckon he is from Paua New Guinea, 6ft 8", 20 stone, vegan and a convert to the Scientology gang.

hows a white man supposed to speak/type? like a ponce

[kurt2006]

hows a white man supposed to speak/type? like a ponce

From yahoo :

It is awfully good", instead of "very good". "He is awfully rude " instead of "He is extremely rude"."She is delightful " rather than "She is nice". "He is a pompous ***" instead of "He is pretentious". "Jolly" instead of "Cheerful". "Would you do me the favour of calling me back at a later date?" rather than "Could you call me back in a few days time?"."Quite!" rather than "Sure!"."Balderdash " or "Piffle" instead of "Nonsense". "Might" rather than "Could"."Napkin" rather than "serviette"."Cook " rather than "Chef" and so on.

Jeff, Beeston and GazOC are upstanding white posters. kurt is a skinhead. This is how they type.

Your postings had an air of confusion about them. I don't think you were sure about your race or sexuality.

Yes you do, sometimes you think your asian init. Other times you a whitey. You are like a chameleon. Plus Jeff thinks you are gay and is trying to chat you up.

So I reckon you are anglo asian and gay.

If you are anglo irish then you are still white. By law only Sikhs and Jews are a racial group the rest are considered racially impure mongrels.

[brown bomber]

I think we may have ventured off topic. So anyway its Eubanks.

I think it should be Ebank without the U and that Chris Ebanks mum made a mistake when she got his birth certificate or the original surname became corrupted over time to Eubank.

What is the story with you being born in the land of clogs, weed and whores...and why did you leave?

[brown bomber]

lol its great when the cops pull you over.

'What race do you consider yourself to be?'

'Mixed-Other- its at the bottom of the page'

....

One time when I used to be part of the ASBO culture I was in court and my representaive took great pride in dressing down the policeman who ticked my ethnicity as white. It was further aided by the fact that she was no Vlad klitschko herself. She was soooo pissed off!

Another time I was in court for been the victim of racial abuse... Some lad had been fighting in my club, found himself semi consious on the street outside and decided to call me various racist names. A policeman overheard and having had previous issues with the lad, was very keen for me to press charges. months later we're in court and I must have been having a white day, the judge seemed pretty bemused as to why an apparently white man (me), was having emotional difficulties following the defendants tirade.

I had to explain my family circumstances. Don't think he bought it though.. i'm still waiting for my compo three years later. :-)

What is the story with you being born in the land of clogs, weed and whores...and why did you leave? My dad worked for Hawker Sidly in dordrecht and my mum obviously loved the weed and decided to holiday there- met my dad and out came the jeffro. I left because my dad was offered a job in the UK.

This Eubank / Eubanks debate reminds me of the barbershop scene in Coming to America:

i dont think thats true either.

eubank jumped over the ropes in every pro fight he had. even in the U.S.

he did not cross the pond to sheffield just to spar graham...who was eubank at the time?
he said his manger told him to do somthing to catch the judges eye every time you come into the ring.

[riggers]

Terry Marsh did it before either in a world title fight

(Apologies if this has been posted before)

In a youtube interview with Spencer Feron Graham says he was knocked down by Eubank but not knocked out or anything. One of them is talking shit.

....years ago in Boxing News Graham did admit to being knocked out cold by Howard Eastman before his comeback however.
