What exactly happened with McCline?

I know a lot of people talk about McCline's power, but his shots always looked ok to me. He certainly doesn't have big power, that's for sure, but the notion that he's a powder-puff puncher seems a bit unfair to me. Some of those shots he hit Valuev with seemed reasonable shots.

Hey he stopped Charles Shufford, and Samuel Peter couldn't get rid of him, lol.

Peter was not able to KO Sfufford, Puddar, or any legit top 10 HW for that matter. I do not understand why people say he is the hardest hitting HW.

He didn't KO them because he was not an accurate puncher at the time. He's worked on his accuracy and Peter pre-Toney was a different fighter than he is today. He's sharpened up tremendously. You'll see just how devastating he is now when he fights someone who doesn't have a diamond hard chin.

This may be well true.

The same thing happened to Kirk Johnson when he fought Javier Mora last year. After an appeal it was later ruled a no contest.

The problem here is that the fight was not in the US and it was a Don King fighter who won. I can't see them changing this decision.

Mora stepped on Johnson's foot which caused the injury.

In this case the injure was caused by Valuev ducking a strong punch. McCline missed and injured himself. TKO.

Damn that sucks, he was on a roll too.

Don't see why ppl were sayinf McCline was winning he was being competative in the 3rd rd and thats it. McCline always gives you a rd or two where he is competative. Valueve would have TKOed him in the latter rds for sure
