I really like the look of this fight. McClsokey is an unbeaten, European champion so Sky can sell it very easily, the fight could be part of a split site PPV and it's not bad when you look at the who's who of busy fighters in the division (Alexander, Bradley, Judah, Mabuza, Matthyse, Olusegun and Holt)

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.

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.
