What the hell happened here? Apparently it wasn't even close, astonishingly one judge gave Lawrence EVERY single round and the other two scored 7-3 or something. Is this the same guy who gave Byrd such a test last November? Does this result say more about Byrd than it does McCline? What is going on with the heavyweights?

I've seen a couple of Lawrence fights, he can't break an egg with his punches , but is a busy fighter with alot of movement, its hard to look good against him. Of course McCline should have beat him , but if he didn't train hard and thought all he had to do was show up then he might have got outworked.

And Calvin Brock had to come off the floor to beat him in his last fights. For me it just somes up McCline, Byrd, Brock, Whitaker, the whole lot. Grant, Briggs, Ruiz their all journeymen against the 90s competition.

This guy Zuri Lawrence has a record of 20-10-4 and none of his wins have been by stoppage.

He'll be the next IBF challenger by the way.
Only kidding, him and Ray Auston will be fighting an eliminator

He broke Vidoz's record a while back Iseem to recall and was described as slippery, awkward and hard to tag Iremember.
Lumbering McCline looks finished as a contender.
This is up there with Briggs' loss to whathis face....you know...

Darell Wilson?? Briggs was unbeaten and when Wilson shattered his undefeated record he came up with 101 excuses ranging from the arena wasn't warm enough, Dustmites in his hotelroom and asthma.
Tua fought Wilson a few months later and Kayoed him with a sweet uppercut-cum-hook in Round 1

Didn't Donovan Razor Ruddock come up with the excuse of Astma after his surprise loss to David Jaco, strange one that , as if you have Astma you won't pass a medical in this country, and Ruddock came over to fight Lewis.

Are there any fighters with Asthma?
