McCline is the typical heavyweight, flashes of promise and then disappointment. He's terribly inconsistent but I think in this fight he can work early behind his jab, size, and decent defense to get ahead on the cards (if there of course is no bias amongst the judges ). I feel that Jameel could have beaten Valuev if not for his knee and he has really fought with a sense of urgency since then, knocking down Sam Peter 3 times, he had a tough fight with Ruiz, and he beat out Mike Mollo.

If McCline wants to win, he's going to have to throw punches, be first, use good defense, and use his size. It may not be the prettiest way to win but you want Arreola hitting your defense, wasting energy trying to break clinches, and all in all trying too hard for the KO and in the mid to late rounds you pour it on and stop him because he's out of shape and doesn't think well in the ring.

Cris needs to establish a jab, land with power early to tighten McCline up (as he is prone to do) and then pick your spots to throw and to play defense. McCline should tire out and basically give up before you KO him.

I like McCline for the upset as well as I just don't think that highly of Arreola, but let's see how they do on the scales before I make my mind up 100%
