McCalls second best win was against Akinwande.
Historically its McCall all day.
Would have been a cracking fight, leaning towards McCall on points, he would need to negate Mercers jab though.

Patrick Lumumba
Just listening to Glenn Mccory talk about Patrick Lumumba, he said that he was the world amateur champion, boxrec says he had a record of 388-6 but I can't find anything about him being a world amateur champ, Glen also said he ended up in jail for murdering his family, has anyone got any details abo...

Re: BOWE AT HIS BEST..............
One thing that was completely overlooked in Bowe vs Golota 2 (because we were ignorant of Golota’s failings at the time) is that just prior to AG been disqualified he was hurt by Bowe, if you ask me Golota getting disqualified was his way of quitting that night.

Re: Bad Chad
Bad Chad certainly lived up to his nickname; even with one arm he should be able to beat the Karpency’s of the world, he doesn’t look interested to me at the moment, if I were him I would go back to the drawing board reignite the fire and then give boxing one more shot

Re: Soliman vs Jermain Taylor
Boxing news said that if Taylor is 60% of what he used to be then he will beat Soliman, this is why boxing news are useless at predicting fight results.
The smart money says Soliman wins this handily on points, if Taylor is more than 80% of what he used to be then he has a chance.

Pascal always fights like that and it always makes me want to throw my remote through the TV. In terms of talent Pascal appears to have it all yet he stands there watching and feinting (ala Shane Mosley) for 2 minutes and 40 seconds of the round, then he cuts loose for 20 seconds, then it’s back to ...

Re: Dereck Chisora mandatory challenger for the European title
I’m a big fan of Del Boy but he doesn’t want to go anywhere near Pulev, if there’s one man who can break the Klitschko’s monopoly it’s this man, his ability to judge range is fantastic.

Re: Jr. Middleweights: Tony Ayala, Jr. vs Terry Norris
I’m leaning toward Norris 70/30.
If they both performed to the best of their abilities Norris would win handily.

Re: Has Virgil Hunter improved Amir Khan?
Technically Khan’s problems stick out like a sour thumb, his infighting is subpar, he has no head movement, he leaves his chin stuck up in the air and he overcommits to combinations leaving himself open for counters. Mentally Khan did show improvement in terms of not having to answer back so reckles...

It all depends on your skill level, on paper Oscar was matched tough early in his career but in reality he was way above the people he was fighting.

Arrived at the venue mid way through this fight, thought to myself Savage is boxing well but Mounonue will likely wear him down, that was until I realised that we were at the back end of the fight and not the start of it. From what I saw Savage was very hard done by.
