Looks like this fight is all but set according to Rafael as HBO has signed off. Good step up for Arreola...Mccline is very dangerous early, hits like a truck, and very durable. Arreola's wreckless style could make this interesting very early. You know he won't play it smart and wait for Mccline to gas like always. Mccline will surely test his chin. Good fight. I expect Mccline to do well early then fade. Arreola on pts. Who you got?
This is a good matchup, and a step up for Arreola. Though McCline is no Travis Walker or Spazz Witherspoon, he has been in with the best Heavyweights for the last 7 years or so. This match is 50/50 for me, McCline will have to go after Arreola early and get in those uppercuts and hooks early, knowing Arreola, he will stand and go toe to toe with McCline, which may make for some interesting exchanges between 2 of them. I do feel however Mccline has the more proven chin, while Arreola is slightly more powerful I'm guessing. I see the fight going one of 2 ways, McCline gets the early knockout or Arreola gets the decision or stops McCline becuase his stamina issues. If I had to lay money down this fight, I have a strange feeling McCline is going to lay Arreola out early, McCline has put many good fighters down early fights, but his lack of finishing skills and stamina has cost him in the end. He has put down these notable fighters early in fights, Brock, Bryd, Grant, Briggs, and Peter. Though only went on to beat 2 of them, and knockout only Grant. I feel Arreola's chin will be exposed in this fight, the guy doesn't have the chin of Peter and is worse defensively, which IMO spells disaster for him in this fight.
Mccline is favourite here I think. He will start strong, could easily take Chris out early. He aint Mike Tyson but he has some power, he has also size which will make fatty work. Having said that, McCline could strap Arreola to an electric chair and have the on switch in his hand, he would still find a way to lose. he always does.
50-50 toss up, Mccline has the size and has been in with better fighters so i give him a minor edge..
Have been reading **** loads of negatives about David Haye the future undisputed heavy weight champion of the world and we now have a supposedly serious question about these two pillocks. Wake up America
Arreola wins if it goes past 5. McCline wins if it's an early KO. Jameel fades down the stretch worse than the NY Mets.
If McCline has Arreola getting smacked around for the first one and half round like Walker did then Jameel wins this one. However in typical McCline fashion I expect him to find a way to lose.
Arreola by KO.I've given up on McCline,couldn't believe how he threw the Peter fight away. Arreola ain't anything special so him losing won't surprise me but I'll go with the young lion here.
this just be and action packed fight for the divison.. title fights are jokes these days. at least we get to see peters vs chambers and hopely big C vs mccline
This fight will be a defining one for Arreola, who will probably get knocked down but probably survive and get a draw. With McCline fading down thge stretch. If Chris comes in at 254 again, it may be he fading down the stretch.
