Juan Carlos Gomez vs. Oliver McCall

Gomez UD 12.

 

Southpaws are a rather rare commodity in the heavyweight division, and when one of them fights safety first and can stay active at the same time, it becomes a difficult experience for an opponent who wants to dig in and tee off, specially when that one is 42 year old Oliver McCall. Gomez fought 34 times in Germany and he's almost 6'4'' tall.

McCall by decision or late TKO

 

8-7 to mccall on the votes so far.

surprising since there was absolutly no evidence in the first fight between the 2 to suggest mccall can beat goimez by anything but a mistake by gomez.

mccall has a punchers chance all the way through , no doubt, gomez has been ko`d and mccall has power, but in skill they are not equal.

main factors.
has gomez trained and is he in condition
mccall knows he cannot outbox gomez ,will he be willing to throw the kitchen sink and walk through gomez to get the win.

 

Well, I am in a bad situation here. I'd like to pick Gomez but unfortunately you always pick Fraudley Embarrasment to win everything and that is absolutely ridiculous, so I'll have to go with Oliver McCall.

 

Mccall will win, this fight is his career in a nutshell. I think Mccall knows if he doesnt pull this fight out his chance for title shot goes out the window, the WBC belt is around the corner and he can taste it.

Mccall should be very confident knowing he beat a tough guy in Sinal Sam in his own back yard on points, he also says hes more prepared for his oppenent and knows what to expect. I think this time around he will make the proper adjustments and take it to Gomez, this will end in a 10th round TKO.

 

McCall by late TKO

 

McCall is in great shape and I see him getting a KO victory not to far into the fight maybe around the 5th round. I think McCall is still a wild card heavy weight who may yet shock the world with a heavy weight title win in the next year or so.

 

Man, that is the only round Oliver can surprise him... Did anyone even bother to check on Gomez-McCall 1 to acknowledge how the Cuban double jabs, flurries to the body and gets off on extremelly light feet whereas Oliver walks aimlessly across and doesn't move his upper-body? The Cuban physical shape issue is very misleading cause he's long-muscled and loose, about the same weight and is very versatile... When Oliver goes for that right hand, Gomez can sense it early enough by McCall's head movement and block it with his left arm. And in the meantime, Gomez pumps fluid jabs against which Oliver has no defense... Still Gomez by UD from that boxing's POV, after all it's in Germany and Samil Sam is a completely different animal.

 

Please read back my last post written before JC Gomez outworked Oliver McCall this night in Berlin. Hardly surprising...

 

Being in great shape is part of it. Natural power and skill, athleticism, and the desire to fight the mother ****er... now that's another story...
