    He's getting older, and his performances have always been a mixed bag. How did he look in his win?

    Saw only the last 4 rounds.

    What i saw was more or less awful. Clinchfest vs. a completely wild Mollo. McClines career is coming to an end soon.

    I haven't seen it, but just from a couple reports it sounded like both he and Mollo looked pretty bad.

    Aweful. Like usual he didnt use his main advantage thats height and reach, he would only occasionaly throw the left. The fight was a clinchfest with weak punches being thrown on the inside. They both gassed so Mccline was lucky here that Mollo gassed as quickly as he did. When Mccline opens up he has very heavy hands but when he does that he needs a loooong break to retain that stamina so he is inactive the entire round after that.

    He looked terrible. He's like an old gorilla with heavy metal chains on both hands.

    He needs to move out of the way for the younger guys. He has had his shots with the big dawgs but never has prevailed and his time has come and gone.

    Mollo is a bum. He needs to fight a big name so he can be sent into early retirement.

    I'll reserve final judgment until I see video, but for the moment I stick with my assertion that he beats Peter in a rematch. :bart

    McCline in no way should get another title shot. He Could and should have KO'd Sam Peter when he had the opportunity and blew it. He has had too many chances and SHOULD NOT be given another shot. There are more deserving fighters waiting.
