Weight and size usually mean nothing when it comes to boxing. Jameel McCline serves as the perfect example that it?s more about the size of the fight in the dog rather than the amount of time you spend in an oxygen tent. In this battle between Michael Marley and Frankin Gacal you have a real-life David and Goliath-type battle. It seems to be heating up as a serious grudge match not seen since De la Hoya-Vargas as Marley vehemently states, ?Why a white gorilla? What?s with the racism? I?d be perfectly fine with just Gorilla but now the Jackal is gonna get it!?
Here is Boxingconfidential.com?s tale of the tape for this epic showdown:

Height ? 5?4?

Strengths ? Elusive due to his crouching style. Ability to irritate Manny Pacquiao supporters.
Weaknesses ? Topsilog, eggs, and rice.
Currently oddsmakers (me) have made this bout heavily favoring the heavily set Michael Marley. He?s currently sitting solidly at -1200 over Mr. Gacal due to his extensive ring experience and past rumbles with former great Tommy Hearns and Subway sandwiches. In a fight in which anything goes, David will not be allowed to enter the arena with the slingshot to dethrone Goliath aka Marley. Without his slingshot, David aka Franklin is a sitting duck for the veracious appetite and monstrous strength that is the old fool from the old school. Stay tuned for more updates as this fight draws closer.
