By Chris LaBate
At the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, former world heavyweight champion Oliver McCall (55-10) continued to roll forward with a twelve round split-decision victory over Fres Oquendo (32-7). The scores were 116-112, 115-113 for McCall, 115-113 for Oquendo.
Two of the judges seemed to favor the aggressive style of McCall, who according to reports took the lead and pressed the fight in many of the rounds. Neither fighter was ever seriously hurt and there weren't any knockdowns.
After the result was announced, a brief scuffle broke out in the ring between a member of Oquendo's team and a representative of the show's promotional company. Security personnel separated the two men.
