Arreola Knocks McCline Out in Four Rounds

By Mark Vester

On the undercard to Winky Wright-Paul Williams at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, heavyweight contender Chris Arreola (27-0, 24KOs) stopped Jameel McCline (39-10-3, 23KOs) in four rounds.

Arreola came out in the first with a new direction. Instead of going after the head, he went downstairs and began to target the body of the bigger McCline. Near the end of the first he shook McCline with a few power punches. In the second, McCline tried to throw a few punches back but Arreola came on stronger and outworked him with a much higher output of power shots. The third was a hugfest. McCline did a lot of holding but was able to shake Arreola with a hard right and later with a good left.

During the fourth, Arreola came on strong and landed a power combination that sent McCline down to his knees for the full count.
