McCloskey to fight Prescott

[Mattyhitman]

yep interesting one


If Presott can blow him away early (big if) then just maybe he brings the Khan rematch into the playing field . Or at least kills Khan's argument that Presoctt has done nothing in his career to warrant a rematch.

I forget what round McClosckey was pulled out agauinst Khan ?

About the 4-5th i think, not sure tho

For Prescott to warrant a rematch, he really needs a legit title for me, otherwise he has nothing to offer other than redemption.

Khan has bigger fish to fry, and I dont see him on Khan's radar anytime soon unless he gets a few big wins under his belt.

I think it was the 6th

I dunno about the khan prescott rematch weather prescott needs a belt

Khan was unsatisfactory against mcloskey even tho he won every round and if prescott blasts him out which is posible then a rematch is one step closer IMO

maybe just a big win away

Looking forward to this one. I still feel McCloskey got a raw deal against Khan.

Should be a pretty aggressive match up.

Nice 1 McCloskey, he got treated like a mug against Khan, he deserves this after that.

Even if he had lost every round he was not getting his arse handed to him and he was causing Khan all sorts of problems. Khan was made to look nothing special and it was never beyond the realms of possibility that McCloskey could have caused an upset any time during that until the end.

If Prescott can demolish McCloskey in devastating fashion and with realtive ease he has every right to hassle Khan for a rematch belt or not.

If McCloskey wins in good style he will at least be able to pester Khan for a rematch but i don't see it happening for a while i think he will be expected to get a couple more decent wins under his belt to force the issue.

Should be an entertaining fight.

i suppose if mclosky wins then the prescott rematch can be completely forgotten

I reckon so. It won't ever change my opinion that Khan should have rematched him but for Prescott to get Khan back in the ring now he has to continue winning. He will have no case for a rematch if he loses again he will be seen as on the way down while Khan is still on top

[Pugilistic]

McCloskey has very good defense so he should be able to neutralise Prescott's big shots and land shots of his own. That should be enough to win a decision.

I hope Prescott takes it though because i really want Khan - Prescott 2. It would be nice to see Khan avenge that loss.

i reckon there are a few ifs and buts, if khan loses to Judah and prescott wins?

Good for prescott~!!!
if he wins, maybe chicken hearted Khan will give him a Rematch, like he should have done long ago!!! that avoiding him and pretending it didnt happen is BULLSHIT, and is what is wrong with boxing.

Wrong am i?

Good matchup for the winner to claim a fight with Khan, although it seems Amir has his next 3 fights lined up, Judah, Morales, Brooks and Floyd (if they can sort out the steroids issue.
