I haven’t seen any of his fights but plan on checking them out next weekend if I have time, unless you all don’t see any real potential in him. So how about it? Does McKean have the talent to be a top player in the division?
I don't think so. Rangy and fit but outside of that has no remarkable attributes. Though that coupled with being a southpaw might see him overachieve against the horribly out of shape crop of fighters that seem to around at the moment. I mean he probably already has. Rice had him absolutely gone a couple of times but he looked like he had trained 5 days for the fight and was eventually overwhelmed.
A 29.5 year old, 17-0 (11 KO's) McKean was en route to getting a gift decision in Australia against an out of shape version of the reasonably tough American journeyman Jonnie Rice (McKean's best opponent thus far) before stopping Rice with a couple of seconds to go in the 12th. I don't think he's going anywhere.
Nah he's not up to much. I think he'll be fed to Parker before being fed to the rest of the matchroom stable. Doesn't hit overly hard for a HW and I think he has a suspect chin and most recently struggled against Kiwi journeyman Kiki Toa Leutele.
There is a possibility that he could fight Hrgovic, he would definitely be the toughest opponent for Hrgovic so far...
