    McCline was semi-retired and 271lbs.....and in no way was that a healthy 271lbs either.

    Better fight than expected but they are both a ****ing disgrace.

    Arreola looked good.

    That being said, I think Haye's victory over Barrett was better. Barrett, good or not, comes to fight. He went into that fight trying to take Haye's head off.

    McCline wasn't in such good shape and really didn't seem to try very hard.

    Agreed on all counts. By no means is it a win that pushes him into stardom, and McCline did sort-of quit, but at the same time, Arreola did as much as anyone could've done that night... (outside of being in ****ing shape :twisted:).

    You are probably right, the Walker fight SHOULD have been a wake-up call and he said it was, but then he comes in one pound heavier his next fight.. it's sad that he's so young yet already seems to be at an irreversible Toney-like-fat point of his career. :-(

    Solid pro? He reportedly came out of retirement to take the fight and he sure looked like it. Not the McCline of old.
