I love how McCloskey promised he'd KO Khan, put forward a performance so inert that it made Audley Harrison look like Manny Pacquiao, showed fuck all resistance when the doctor stopped it, yet somehow walks away with a load of credit. The idea his whole gameplan was to wait till the later rounds, particularly considering he was getting his head rocked all over the shop by Khan in the 5th & 6th rounds, is laughable. He spent the whole fight just stepping back out of range & occasionally winged a right hook into air.
I think he can probably take a decision against Prescott in Ireland, because quite frankly Prescott is an absolute terror of a fighter for about 4 rounds until he gets gassed. But, I really do hope McCloskey gets put on his arse after that £15 he stole from me with his shite performance.
