I'm impressed that Arreola is taking such a risky fight. McCline has been in there with very credible opposition and (while not great) usually at least gives a decent account of himself. He is not an easy opponent to K.O. -- if Arreola manages to K.O. McCline I'll start taking him seriously. I think McCline will somehow find a way to lose, after winning most of the early rounds and possibly even knocking Arreola down once or twice. Official prediction (but I hope I'm wrong) Arreola via split decision
McCline TKO 10 Arreola, (7-2-1) McCline, but only if he is motivated and in shape. I really hope he is cause I wanna see Arreola exposed ASAP!
I like Mccline... Arreola is carrying around about 30lbs of excessive beer fat to be taken seriously..
Arreola will go after mcCline so hard, so viciously, with so much malice, that Jameel will choke under the pressure. TKO/KO within 4-6 rounds. McCline is a physical phenomenon at 6'6" and 270#s of sculpted muscle, but he will not like the trench warfare Arreola will force on him. Like Chris' body or not, this guy can really bring the heat and absolutely wants to seek and destroy his opponents. He is one ugly mean *******. He might not match up too well with either Klit, but he will probably tear through the rest of these guys including Povetkin, Chambers, Kingpen Johnson, Minto, Valuev, and Dimitrenko.
McCline doing anything late is a silly prediction. Either he'll knock out Arreola in the first 5 rounds, or he'll let Arreola stomp all over him. McCline doesn't have the stamina to pull anything off late. When was the last time McCline threw more than 30 punches after the fifth round? I'm inclined to believe that, after a slow first round, Arreola will start to apply a lot of pressure, and McCline will go into sparring mode, like he often does. But it wouldn't shock me to see McCline catch Arreola as he's bum rushing in and put him on his ass at some point, I just doubt that he'll follow up on it and try to make sure Arreola stays knocked out. After that, it should be all Arreola on workrate.
