    What do you think? Tyson hurt McCall at the end with some body shots. Nice stuff. Rare.

    Nice video, Tyson was blocking punches well with his gloves, & landed some heavy, crippling bombs to the body.

    It's pretty obvious McCall isn't in Tyson's class, imo Tyson would have actually have stopped him if they fought in 96 probably a TKO

    McCall is the perfect sparring partner for a guy who goes as hard as Tyson. Redefines durable, but is also aggressive and a mean, but lacking just enough speed and savvy to be really, truly dangerous. Just a perfect match for a practice partner.

    This shows you just how damn hard Tyson hit, because McCall was known for taking a very good punch.

    It also clearly shows McCall's mental weakness. Takes a few good body shots and then virtually quits. What would have happened if Tyson wasn't wearing big gloves? Ugh.

    Yup. And what was that girdle with the towel stuffed beneath it? I had a coach wear a body protector before but that get-up didn't seem to offer anything in cushion...
