McCall looked crap as did Frazer who is 54 and normally gets stopped in every fight.

Marcin Rekowski just came back (and lost) at 46, he and McCall are 1-1, perfect timing for the deciding fight…

McCall set a record (of sorts) oldest former HW champion to win a professional bout.

The Atomic Bull just had the second fight (and second victory) of his comeback. McCall beat 52 year old Gary Cobia (who hadn't fought in ten years and is now 3-5) courtesy of an injury retirement before the start of the second round.

McCall is scheduled to fight again on the 18th of March at the same location.

Hasn't lost in 11 years now. I'm surprised the WBA hasn't rated hom in their top 10. :lol: :lol:

As expected he looks horrible. If they put him in against someone with a pulse he'll get brutally kayoed.

I srill think his chin would last. He might get a referee stoppage. More than likely just absorbs punishment and gets his brains scrambled more than they are

He was yes. One of my favorite fighters of all time.
