    McCallum ends up taking apart Mugabi, after soundly outboxing him for 8-10 rounds. McCallum far too good and tough at 154.

    MM takes the hardest shots skilfully and slowly hammers The Beast down.
    McCallum by 10.

    McCallum should come out a winner on a late round stoppage.

    Mugabi was way too flaky. Showed a ton of a heart against an aging Hagler, but then quit against Thomas and McClellan, when the going got tough.

    The Body Snatcher hands down. He was such a complete fighter and tough as nails to boot.

    McCallum systematically outboxes and breaks Mugabi down. We should of got Hagler-McCallum instead of Hagler-Barkley. Imagine a Hagler-McCallum trilogy

    For some reason Barkley and Mugabi inhabit the same spot in my brain

    The Beast has no chance. None whatsoever.

    The only way I can envision McCallum losing at 154 is to a highly skilled boxer with great handspeed. Possibly Hearns.

    Mugabi has underrated skills and speed, he also had a really good jab and an Olympic silver medal, still, he's a level or two below McCallum who had an iron chin and great defense.

    Mugabi has a punch; McCallum has a great chin and great skills. McCallum by mid-to-late rounds TKO.
