Random fights of fighters who were not champions in the heavyweight category, The winner advances in the tournament Jameel McCline vs Bert Cooper Prime vs Prime --- Who wins?? 12 Rounds
I want to lean towards Jameel since he beat Briggs pretty convincingly. But then again, he somehow lost to guys like Peter and Arreola. He was a hot/cold fighter. Cooper was a live underdog, but rarely prevailed when it mattered most. Cooper was tough and game, but was pretty easy to hit and is giving up major disadvantages in size here, a bad combination when you're up against someone bigger and both guys tend to let their hands go. I think Jameel's size, jab, and chin give him the win, but it would be an exciting slug fest. Jameel by TKO in round 7.
I am not sure there is such thing as a prime Bert Cooper … he was consistently inconsistent. But he had that sneaky right-hand bomb and I’m thinking he takes a bit of a pummeling here and then it detonates. Bert by KO 7.
