I heard Khan on the radio this morning offering McCloskey a fight
think about that?
Looks like it will happen I think HBO will accept the fight and Khan will stop him within 5 rounds.Quote:

For now, I'm fairly pleased with another domestic scrap. Gotta be better than the Haye/ Harrison tangle ay?
I don't like it because we could have had Wlad against Haye instead. Why not have this one a month earlier or later? It is such an insignificant fight. I would have much preferred to see a clash of the chinny HW belt holders.
I don't know who McCloskey is.
Should be on an undercard.
Not a bad fighter I don't think he is anywhere near world class put on paper it is not a bad fight really McCloskey is ranked at ten by the Ring and is number 5 for both the WBA and WBC, the fact is his resume is terrible and this is a huge jump up in class, he relies on his reflexes and I think Khan will steam roll him personally.Quote:

Obviously Khan is a strong favourite but barring McCloskey freezing, and getting blown out early, there are far worse opponents.
i agree, i think his awkwardness might be a problem with khanQuote:

If Amir keeps moving and attacks at high output at different angles instead of straight-forward, I don't think Paul will be able to keep up.
I'm looking forward to seeing Linares vs Murray on the undercard to be honest if it get's signed.
Khan will win inside 4 rounds.:o
I see your four rounds and raise you inside 3 rounds! :cool:Quote:

That would be the best fight on the night. PPV for Amir is a joke.Quote:

Khans team have made a ridiculous offer.They are obviously running scared of this fight.We have gone back with realisitic terms.We will see!
Another bullshit fight for khan't
I actually like this fight man. McCloskey is a slick southpaw fighter IMO. He's also awkward and can throw punches from odd little angles. He should have stepped up past euro level before now really to test himself, but I guess this is his opportunity, if he gets it that is. even if he were to get beat he'll put up a good fight trying i'm sure and hopefully earn respect.
Thing that worries me for McCloskey is he holds his hands way low, which against someone as quick as Khan is bad bad news.........
On the surface, this fight seems a complete mismatch. It looks like another Dimitry Salita fight. Fenster, why is this better than Peterson? Peterson has been in with Bradley and Ortiz. Who has McCloskey been in with? I agree with another poster that said he isn't too bothered by this fight and let's wait to pass judgment until we see who Khan chooses in his next one.
Why, who else should he fight?Quote:

Okay so the fight with McClosky is off now as well ???
Khan vs McCloskey off while Prescott turns up pressure | Boxing Futures
But prescott is absolutely chomping at the bit. Regardless of whatever shit fee he is offered (gotta love that).

Wonder what Khan will do now? I mean, what option does he actually give himself other than to just wait for the Brad/ Alexander winner?
I have no problem with Peterson. I fully agree he is a more decorated challenger than McClosky. But for me personally, I'd rather McClosky because I'd like to see him get a chance at world level, he's unexposed and the Irish-English angle is a nice selling point (McClosky will have plenty of crowd support) for a British based fight.Quote:

Even if Prescott has lost 2 of his last 4 fights, a lot of people DO want to see this fight and, listening to Prescott, it can be easily made. The fight makes the most sense and it would be piss easy to sell to people as a ppv.
Revenge!
Can lighting strike twice?!
Time to face his demons! :o
I obviously don't work in marketing but you can see where i am coming from. ;D
(Khan wins within 3 rounds btw)
Lightning strike twice? You make it sound like some miracle, when its really just a shitty chin. Dude looked like he was crippled after that shot.Quote:
