CA sees improvements he can make... he looked really annoyed with himself whenever he took a hit or didn't exploit a lowered hand - seemed to me like he was filing them away to work on in the gym. Drop 20 pounds and we might have something great there; he's finally showing those sweet amateur skills people kept assuring me he had. :happy I love it when a fighter shows me something great that I wasn't sure was there!
nah, he just didnt want to keep going. this fight was kind of lame. mcclin came out of retirement for the payday, so you know his head wasnt in this fight, he wasnt really trying as hard as he could, and he came in pretty out of shape. when he got knocked down, that was really just his chance to quit fighting, and thats what he did.
Not impressive, Any HW puncher with any talent would have laid McCline out, He beat an old, Shot, inactive out of shape fighter that was never even special in his hey-day.
Arreola, despite being so overweight, was in a way impressive, by today's heavyweight standards, in the way he put combinations together. He showed that he has a good foundation and determination. Good performance, he showed he has potential, he just needs to get the right training/diet regimen together.
Maybe it was the crappy internet stream but it looked like McCline took a dive. He falls down and then stares up with eyes focused and alert and seems to just wait for the end of the count, then starts to try to get up. It just looked suspicious to me. Gomez seemed almost prepared to die in his recent loss to Vitali. McCline punked out here, BIGTIME and major credit should be given to all those warriors who fight to the limit of their strengths before succumbing to the better man.
What are you talking about? He didn't try and take a dive, he obviously decided he didn't want to go on.
I agree, Arreola got a good Ko under his belt. Fastest person to Ko McCline. He looked stronger and better than what the fools on the forum thought he would look like. I liked his combinations too, loved that uppercut. Loved the way he went to the body too, really mixed it up at times. A little sloppy at times. But, I think Arreola can still improve and mature. I can't wait to see his next KO win.
Look at Mccline's legs. After that vicious uppercut and the big right, everything fell out from under him. He was KO'd.
It looked suspicious in high definition, too, but Nipple had made adjustments to neutralize all of McCline's tools and could take his best shots. The KTFO was just a matter of time; I think he was badly hurt and just didn't want to have permanent damage from the inevitable.
