Anyone Heard Of Paul McCloskey

[ono]

He's alright. Probably European/WBU calibre. Probably a little better but not much better than the likes of Barnes/Lynes/Rees/Mutley.

Did you see the Lynes fight?

He made Lynes look like a complete mug. He's much better than those guys.

No it's the one fight i didn't see. I'll take your word for it. He's still not a fighter i could ever imagine being a world champion.

I don't rate him that much he needs to step it up a bit but he will never be world level mind you if Gavin Rees can win a World title hope for anyone.

[magee]

Don't know how people can say that they don't rate him. He'll be a world champ. I'd have no doubt he'd beat khan. He's Irish by the way, not british.

I quite like the guy man. Seen him fight a few times and he's pretty good. He's awkard and slick at the same time, great combinations and movement. Couple of downsides that I've seen are he lacks power and he also gets hit when he shouldn't.

I'd probably say he'll give anyone a run for their money and would be a certain awkward nights work even at world level. His last time out he certainly looked like he could do with some better conditioning though.

I can only remember watching his last fight and on that evidence this sounds spot on to me.

His last Fight was a bad day at the office. This Kid is a great Fighter. The better the opposition the better He is, a real darkhorse.

Yeah im a big fan of McCloskey, think he'll definitley get his hands on a world title, would love to see him get a shot at Khan or Bradley.
I think he's shown good power in his last few fights, doesn't have 1 punch ko power but enough to wear guys down and take them out.
As for the British/Irish thing, he's catholic background(most catholics in the north would consider themselves Irish as opposed to Brittish) but obviously he's not to worried about politics and was happy to fight for the British title, and who cares really...


yeah were still claiming him

[HattonTheHammer]

Took lynes apart when they fought

Anyone that can outbox colin lynes has gotta be a decent fighter. Saw his last fight on sky and he didnt look all that!!

[BIG H]

Don't know how people can say that they don't rate him. He'll be a world champ. I'd have no doubt he'd beat khan. He's Irish by the way, not british.

I guess we should take that British Title Belt back from him then

But was British champion.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

This is why i need sky!

The British Fight Scene is good. I watch all the ITV fights and anything i can catch on Youtube but no ive never seen McClosky fight.

[skel1983]

McClosky is decent, he is better than the likes of Kotelnik and similar standard contenders I think he takes Maidana aswell.


Fenster is correct made Lynes look like a novice not only that but on about 5 days notice, got some nice skills has a similar style to David Barnes but alot busier. I wouldnt mind him fighting Witter rather than these Italian/Spanish waitors while he waits for a world title shot.

Lol, if you take a visit to dungiven where he lives, it's clear to see that it aint britain! Anyway, no matter where he comes from, great fighter, and i love his style.
