Oliver McCall vs riddick bowe

Bowe combines boxing with brawling and nicks a competitive fight, mostly by being busier and far more accurate.

Bowe can't get him out of there and socks him in the nuts in frustration. The ref sees nothing and Bowe wins by KO.

 

I have posted it earlier:

Common opponents

Bowe KO2 Lionel Butler
McCall WSD Lionel Butler

Bowe KO1 Seldon
McCall KO9 Seldon (Seldon ahead after 8 )

Bowe KO2 Ferguson
McCall W10 Ferguson (96-94 on all cards, some say it should've been a draw).

More that enough to say Bowe was the better fighter.

Bowe wins and McCall takes a beating.

 

I don’t think many would disagree that Bowe was better than McCall and would, in all probability, beat him. But these types of result comparisons between common opponents mean very little and really do not speak to how an actual Bowe/McCall bout would have gone.

Against Butler, Bowe was a debutant and Butler was in only his second professional bout, coming off a loss in his debut. How much critical value can you take away from that fight?

Seldon fought very differently in his respective McCall and Bowe bouts. McCall was the first to stop Seldon, in which Seldon fought a measured and tactical bout. But, Bruce came out recklessly, in his next fight against Bowe, and paid the price early.

A couple of years after McCall got the decision against Ferguson, Jesse gets a world title shot and a payday against Bowe and looks every inch the journeyman he was by then. Incidentally, both McCall and Seldon had beaten Ferguson before then but Seldon had forced a retirement in 5 rounds; the first fighter to stop Ferguson since Tyson, six years earlier.

Similarly, they both fought Tucker and, whilst Seldon beat Tucker in 7; McCall hadn’t managed to convince the judges after 12 rounds; losing a decision to Tucker. These results do not align with what happened when McCall and Seldon actually met.

 

Bowe was a much better overall fighter than McCall prime for prime,

Bowe by one sided UD.

 

Bows wins big , possibility with the way Oliver fights that he gets rocked a couple of times .In a twelve rounder bows wins 10/2

 

You were probably the hall monitor in high school that did everything by the book and always demanded to see the cool kids hall passes until a couple football players took your hall monitor sash and played keep away with it to the amusement of the on looking cheerleaders (one of whom you had a big crush on) until they got bored with that and stuffed you into a locker.

 

I think it looks something like Bowe/Thomas

With McCall taking a beating and the ref giving either a mercy stoppage or Bowe winning a wide UD

 

i pick bowe but
This argument is absolutely ridiculous

 

Exactly

 

Welcome back!

 

If you subbed a motivated McCall in for Golota, Bowe would have a rough time and probably lose. Otherwise, he'd win.

 

Lewis is the elephant in the room.
