Chris Vs Graham

[paul c]

Any predictions guys.

Last time they met it was Peter in total control of the fight with his technically perfect everything. Chris can do huge damage, but Graham is extremelly durable with huge powerhouse low and mid kicks.
I was really impressed by Chris at No Respect. He seems to have settled down heaps and seems to be picking his shots much better than he was a year ago.

I'm looking forward to this one.

Graham a much better fighter in all respects!

Chris is looking a lot better. But I still beleive that Graham can take this one out on points. Just got to avoid the big swinging Chris.

True Remy.

Graham,
I got to tell you guys that I think Peter has massive potential of becoming K-1 Oceania Champ. I don't know what his intentions are for this year, but I hope he will make televised fights his first priority. I think I'd only seen him televised once during the past 18 months or so.

Chris is coming along great, if he keeps his hands up and does
not walk into Peters kicks he should go well..Peter will be more hungrier than ever since his lay off, should make a good rematch.

Chris is a much improved fighter. He doesnt leave his hands down low and is alot more selective on his shots. He looks very sharp and it looks like he has that spark in him...

I have always had the opinion that Peter Graham is australias best heavyweight fighter. On the last mundine undercards, you can see how much his physique has improved. His chest is alot more defined. His stint in boxing was a very good idea as his hands were not his best weapons. With his lethal kicks and now with improved hand skills, Chris would have to out muscle and take the fight to Graham on the inside to negate those leg kicks of Graham. However, last time round graham did look a little flat.

I've Got to agree with paul concerning Chris at No Respect. Completely different fighter on the night.
Chris won me over when he fought Nathan Briggs up here about 15 months ago. Chris was losing the fight and went down a couple of times falsely claiming Briggs was kicking him in the nuts. The crowd new it and were giving it to him something shocking.In between injury times all he did was run in wildly with powerful leg kicks then claim a low blow when Briggs retaliated. After about 4 times Chris eventually rooted Briggs knee area and he went down.
Chris and all the blokes from Melboune flew in the ring dancing and jumping everywhere. It was a very crafty and funny win.

In his speech afterwards Chris invited everyone to ring him when next in melboune and he will come out and party with them. Gotta like a bloke like that :)



BTW Nice analysis Janer sounded like something straight out of International Kickboxer.

[Koshy]

Graham still has a suspect chin.

Koshy,

Fill us in buddy.


I've only seen the Hunt KO, but that upercut would have dropped a Girrafe.

As far as I know, In Australia and kickboxing, Graham has lost to Suttie, Stan, and off course Hunt.

Is there anyone else guys.
Koshy, I gather you have some boxing stats for Peter maybe?

I think I'd read somewhere that he was KO'd in a boxing fight.

But anyway, apart from the stuff I mentioned above, Peter's body is pretty tough and can take a pretty decent battering. I think of the Oceania guys that Suttie has the hardest rib kicks. He's also a very powerful puncher. I was surprised at how well Peter took some massive shots from Jason.

Koshy, not at all agruing your point, but rather hoping for more info on why you think he's chinny.
