    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]WBC #5 heavyweight Juan Carlos Gomez faces WBC #3 ranked International titleholder Oliver McCall in a WBC world championship eliminator on October 19th in Berlin's Estrel Convention Center. With the back injury suffered by Vitali Klitschko, the victor in this grudge match has a good chance to get his world title shot against the Oleg Maskaev-Samuel Peter winner in short order. It's the second time that the "Black Panther" and "The Atomic Bull" have clashed. Two years ago, Gomez decisioned McCall but later tested positive for cocaine. "After the fight McCall started trash talking. He said that I would rather run than fight and that I couldn't punch hard. Well, in Berlin I will proof him wrong," promised Gomez during today's press conference at the Cancun Bar near Potsdamer Platz.[/FONT]

    Didn't McCall JUST win a title eliminator back in June?

    Gomez makes it look easy beating McCall. Even with his glass chin Gomez will give the old timer a boxing lesson and take that mando spot. It will be like stealing candy from a baby. That is how easy it will be.

    Mccall will give Gomez the beating of a life time, Mccalls so close to getting his chance at a another title he could taste it. Mccalls determination gets him a late round knockout of Gomez.

    I expect McCall to make the adjustments he needs to win...either a late TKO or a UD.

    If Gomez had McCall's heart, he'd be a top 5 HW and a beltholder by now, but no amount of heart can help McCall avoid Gomez's quickness. Sam was a plodder who was built for the now past it McCall. Gomez could defeat himself, but I doubt McCall defeats Gomez.

    Gomez outboxed him before, but looked very tired in the last 3 rounds in particular and seemed happy just to jab and hold.

    If McCall can make the right adjustments, he can do better this time. It was the straight lefts he had a problem with.
    If not, he'll just be slowly trundling around taking Gomez's potshots again for a wide UD loss.

    Toss-up this one.
    Credit to McCall, this didn't have to happen but he's taking on an opponent that doesn't suit him. If he prevails that'll be very valuable. I'd have to think he'd be even more determined than before to win this fight.

    Gomez trying to make out he's a big punching slugger is very funny though! :D
    I think McCall would be overjoyed if Gomez was stupid enough to try going toe-to-toe, I expect the stick 'n' move from Gomez as per usual.

    Everyone wants to be made out to be a big puncher. It's more masculine.

    I believe Gomes decisions McCall under the condition that he is really in shape.


    McCall can punch and he brings that power in the late rounds. Watch the Akinwande fight as evidence.


    If Gomez either makes as mistake of going toe-to-toe, foolishly lets his hands down, or runs out of gas in the late rounds, McCall might pull it off.
