I forget who it was, but it was the same knockout the same knockout but anyway with shakur stevenson in his fight with him with shakur stevenson um, you know he he put up a good fight.
Shakur won the fight, but um mcgrail was in it the whole time, um caught stevenson, a couple of times um, you know.
Obviously, stevenson is on a different level, even back then, and and you could see it but yeah.
Definitely a southpaw fighter, mcgrail southpaw, very good boxer like he, you know he has.
