    Probably McCall but he had off nights.

    I'd also take McCall. Firpo's best attribute was his bullish power and McCall's chin just says "no" to that. Bad style matchup for Firpo imo.

    TBH I've only seen Firpo in the Dempsey fight which was a brawl; maybe he had finer attributes that could make the argument for outboxing McCall who wasn't the greatest technical fighter himself. But from what I saw, Oliver should take this.

    Firpo was at least decently skilled from what I've seen of him. His problem seemed to be accuracy.

    I guess McCall would pound out a decision, and neither of them would look spectacular.

    Ugly mauling fight.

    McCall busts him up and stops him inside 5.

    Within 3 or 4 rounds. What exactly does Firpo present that McCall doesn't excel at?
