    On September 28th boxing history will be made as a former heavyweight champion will step into the ring in the State of New Mexico for the first time ever. Oliver “The Atomic Bull” McCall (59-14, 38 KOs) is slated to take on the durable journeyman Grover Young (13-27-3, 9 KOs) as he tries to position himself for one more run at the title, and he will do it in Hobbs at the Corral Arena

    He'll probably win against such a weak opponent but he has no business fighting anyone in the top 10. McCall's time as a legitimate heavyweight is long over, expect to see that granite chin shattered if he ever gets in the ring with a top contender, which I hope he doesn't.

    Yeesh, this guy beat Bruce Seldon to crack the Top 10 a few months before I was born. Crazy

    Well, that's one way to sell a fight no one would ever want to see.

    He'll eventually meet his Danny Nardico if he doesn't quit.

    Danny Nardico was first the man to deck Jake LaMotta.

    Weird that he’s still fighting when his own son who’s around 33 years younger than him and who fought current heavyweight champ Andy Ruiz way back in 2012, seems to have retired years ago.
