I been to MEN for last few fights there but not even remotely interested in this one - no interest at all. Not going to pay for it either and will try find a stream.
I grant Khan an easy fight after Maidana war but to dis Presoctt, saying he hasn't done anything since he lost to him and wasn't worthy of a shot, was bullshit. Khan is shit scared of him. Fact
Khan v McCloskey will be as one sided as Ronnie Corbett and Biggie Smalls sat on a see-saw
McCloskey is a lot better fighter than people on here think. This could be a cracker, Khan has only Boxed, that are live, one dimenshenal Fighters, and isnt the best at solving puzzles. We will see, Ive seen McCloskey give european titled middleweights Hell in the gym, in the ring dont think weve seen the best of Him yet.
Yeah its seems alot of people that dont know about fighters just assume the worst. I bet most havent even seen him fight.Quote:

He looks decent against the opposition he's faced, but I never thought "That guy is gunna be a world beater". Khan is. His speed is superb. I just don't think he'll allow Paul to get going and will attempt to finish him quick. We shall see anyways.Quote:

I don't think Khan would have had too much difficulty winning it but he's a solid all round fighter that might have extended Khan a bit. Witter would have been a shocking opponent. Like I said I'm not criticising Khan for this, but I just don't care enough to pay for it.Quote:

only 3 fights ago he was world champ with 3 defenses or something
what pedigree does ortiz have?
Well he hasn't fought in a year and half and has said himself he can't physically make 140 anymore. He'd also be 37 by the time the fight comes round, and after such a long lay off that won't be a good thing. He's not particularly relevant now, in his last fight he lost to Alexander who we've all seen isn't at the level required to be at the top of the 140 division yet. And he also lost to Bradley, so I don't see any sense in taking on someone that 2 of your main rivals have already beaten... I just think it would have been a bad fight to make. He's fading, if not shot, has had a long lay off and would be very weight drained. I'm glad it wasn't made.Quote:

Now they charge £15 for any old shite.
Witter just lost again, he's pretty much done IMO. He gassed out again.Quote:

Witter would have been a shocking opponent for Khan based on the 5 rounds i saw last night. ;DQuote:

I think we all knew it before hand. Eric was clinging on to Witter's past glories.Quote:
