    INdeed, it is.

    I am picking McCline to win quite decisively.

    :good Go, BIG TIME. KO his fat ass!

    some of you will be surprised how convincingly arreola will win this one. it's episode 774 of young undefeated prospect versus seasoned journeyman (usually the prospect wins). mccline has a great chin but his stamina is not the best, so i think arreola gets a late tko.

    McCline has not won a meaningful fight in years.

    McCline is a good fighter, though he lacks stamina and seems to be happy to just go through the motions at time. He can be quite dangerous, which you saw when he knocked Peter down three times, as well as Brock, Briggs and Byrd. He also has a near-iron chin, something Arreola can't say. So, if it comes to a slug out early, he stands a good chance.

    McCline looks like a big step up for Areola and should be able to win but I have seen him in the Bryd fight and the Peter fights when he hurt the other guy and then just layed back ( LACK OF) If Jameel had the drive he could be a lot better.....This is a fight Jameel could win but Fat Areola fights hard and stamina could be an issue

    McCline by KO unless he doesn't get up for this fight at all.

    If McCline starts the fight like he did against Peter, he'll win by KO.

    I don't think Arreola can take the shots Peter did.

    McCline should win, but controversy always follows him.

    I can't believe 70% are picking Arreola to win.

    McCline has some heavy hands. We know the punishment he has given Peter, Brock, Briggs, etc... and I had him up against Valuev before his knee gave out on him.

    I'm telling everyone, McCline has a great chance at beating Arreola. And if he does, where does that leave both of them? Does McCline get a title shot?

    Arreola would be back to rebuilding his career..a very risky fight for him.

    i pick arreola but he is nothing great

    it all depends on which mccline comes to the ring because a inshape mccline is more than enough for arreola
    but you never know because he blows hot and cold all the time
    and more than likely he will blow cold so
    i pick arreola

    McCline can take Arreola's shots but Chris can't take McCline's. If it comes to a slugfest, you'd have to favor McCline.

    And if Arreola starts out like he usually does as opposed to how he fought in the first round against Walker, then McCline would never get those shots off to begin with. McCline can't handle pressure particularly well, and he sucks at fighting on the inside.

    FWIW, after watching the Ring Life series on him, I'm convinced that Arreola would be smart to get a new trainer fast. I realize he likes his buddy, but not only isn't he pushing Arreola, but he doesn't seem to get the finer technical points either.
