You don't need to have ever boxed to be a boxing expert. Just the other day I found out on here that Floyd Mayweather jr, Olympic medal winner and multi-weight unbeaten world champion, has spent his entire life breathing wrong when he throws punches.
Just think how well Floyd could have done if he was aware of this flaw.

I watched the fight last night despite feeling like sh**, and Paul McCloskey was never in the fight. He was quite slick and Amir Khan didn't land many clean punches, but Paul McCloskey wasn't throwing any punches himself, except the odd jab and straight left hand. But never in combinations just one punch at a time.
I agree with what Bilbo said in the other thread, the way the fight ended was the best Paul McCloskey could of hoped for. Because he would of just gone on to lose a very wide decision, or possibly worse because Amir Khan was landing a bit more frequently.

Even the BBC were of the opinion he quit. This is from their report
'At first the previously unbeaten McCloskey offered little in the way of a protest, perhaps sensing the tide in the fight was turning, although when interviewed afterwards he toed the party line that he had in fact been cheated'.
Even during the post fight interview he was trying to justify why he didn't ask to carry saying that the way the referee was looking at him made him think it was really bad.
Just watching his interaction with the doctor he was clearly not make any attempts to say he wanted to fight on.
I think from the referee's point of view he just saw a guy losing every round, who was now cut, didn't seem impassioned about fighting on and so stopped the fight.
It was a premature stoppage certainly, but no conspiracy. Alexander did the same against Tim Bradley and couldn't continue because of a headbutt in a fight he was losing. But because people don't detest Bradley the same way as they do Khan they didn't start creating silly threads saying how Alexander was on the verge of turning it all around and would have knocked Bradley out had that not happened.
Easy win for Khan, lack lustre effort from McKloskey who was out of his depth, move on to the Tim Bradley in the summer. As a Khan fan even I'm sceptical of his ability to win this fight however, Bradley is going to be one hell of a tough opponent for him.

By the way anybody know if there's any truth to the rumor that Con threatened to have McCrappy's house blown up?
Incorrect. The gist of my post is that he has a weak mental makeup for boxing. His physical skills are fantastic but his mental capacity does not allow him to reach the next level. for example his combinations are as fast as any fighter out there @ 140 but then he leans forward which takes out some of the power and accuracy. He can hardly relax so he is tiring more than he should be and punches are effecting him more than if he was properly relaxed.
When he fought Maidana he was looking up at the scoreboard for time. That is an amateur move and a fighter should always be focused on his opponent at all times. If that happens in a fight it is usually a move done by the loser of the bout. We saw that on Saturday with Berto as well. Berto is another case. All the skills yet he fights on his heels flat footed.
