    I'm going with McCall by late stoppage after being way behind on the cards. Thoughts?

    Depends on what version of Spinks shows up. If Spinks shows up drug free I see him out hustling McCall for the decision. However, if Spinks shows up in anything other than top form McCall puts him on his back.

    McCall.

    Leon's punches are not going to bother this guy whatsoever. And the volume Leon throws just puts him in range for those looping shots from Oliver. But being McCall, he'll take 8 rounds to do a job he should have done in 2 or 3 rounds.

    My view as well. Spinks wouldn't hurt McCall, but put in the volume to take the win.

    I see it the same way and I am very partial towards Leon having met him a bunch over the years. If I was putting money on it I would take a prime Spinks by UD but I would definitely have some nervous moments.

    Me too. I think Leon could have done a lot more than people realize as a heavy, under the right circumstances.
