    Nah. I think Mcall has a good chance to blast him out, but I also think Shavers has a good chance to put him in a shell. If you cracked Mcall good enough he went into sparring partner mode and he was easy to hit.

    I only saw McCall go into sparring partner mode when pitted against a tall man with reach, jab and power as was the case against Tucker, Holmes, Bruno & Lewis '97... Later on against Juan C. Gomez, Ollie McCall was just a shade too slow to keep up with the younger, smaller and more spry Gomez....

    Overall point is, McCall seems flustered by good jabbers with range rather than backing down from a pure puncher...
