As the fight's in April I don't know what I'll be doing. I'm not paying to watch a fight I have no interest in though. I won't criticise Khan for his selection because he seems to be just fitting in another fight before he takes on Bradley. I'd have preferred Ortiz would have been a good opponent, as would Peterson. 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:

Who is convinced that McCloskey will not last 4 rounds? I will take sig bets first come first served on that nonsense. Jeez he only keeps his hands low to trick em into throwing a shot, he's a poor mans RJJ, who says he is not fast?
Great post mate!Quote:

#3 Why would a "World title" be less than the IBO or European title, and if this is the case, then why is the European Champion risking vacating his belt for a shot at the WBA Champion.
#4 Froch does fight the best, but Khan just beat one of the division's best in Maidana and has a pretty decent record at 140lbs. His next fight after this will almost certainly against the divisions #1 so this will just be a tune up.
I'll take that. I'm not saying McCloskey is a crap fighter, but Khan is all wrong for him. McCloskey's style is to keep his hands low to trick the opponent, but Khan is so fast I can see it getting McCloskey in trouble early. I say Khan in 3.Quote:

He hasn't faced anyone even close to Khan's level. Khan is too fast and too good at the weight. If Khan had another 10 seconds against Maidana in that first round, he'd have got him out of there. Maidana was on the ropes and not answering back. Bad fight for Paul, he'll get murdered and quick!Quote:

And when I'm right No Contest's sig will be "McClost my senses!" ;D
HAHAHA. Good work. We'll see. I'd have a Sig bet with you, but I always have Sigs turned off these days as I'm always online on my phone and it kills load time.Quote:

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:
