    The son of former heavyweight champ Oliver McCall will be on the undercard of Abraham-Miranda II.

    Unless he's built like a bodybuilder, he has to be a lump at 6' 1" 250.

    He was listed at 219 at the weigh-in.

    I think 250 was his football weight.

    That's a lot better for his height. 250 is too big.

    Richie Giachetti trained guys like Tyson, Holyfield, McCall, Julian Jackson, and Larry Holmes. He always said that McCall hit harder than all of them. He hasn't been able to do mittwork since McCall's heyday due to the damage they took while they trained. Crazy.

    Yeah. If he's been in the ring with Oliver though he's probably getting something out of that.

    He's only 20, so it's not too late for him to start.

    I'd like to see where he is in 12-18 months.
