Jeff it's always the same thing with prospects of any sport. Dedication and determination, main 2 things that stop many progressing. Hopefully more people try harder because the talent is certainly out there!

When you next fighting and who is it? Gutted you got pulled last time but hopefully you get the same opportunity down the line in lieu.

This is a disgrace why are the British media building up these fighters and trying to make them into something their not.

Always the same flippin story

Anybody with half a boxing brain knows Paul McCloskey isnt world class , aside from that , who exactly has hyped him up ???

McCloskey was never really hyped here to be fair, your wide of the mark if you think he is/was.

Agreed

Im not buyin that mate McCloskey was done and he would of been flattened had he be allowed to continue , no argument from the man himself either , it was a good stoppage IMO McCloskey was hurt badly and was shipping big shots !!!!
