    Won't be as easy as people are saying. Prescott would be McCloskey's best win, I'm not sure why its suggested its a pointless and silly fight that McCloskey is going to walk through. As for 'The Homcoming'...what would it have been if he actually won the world title?

    HAHA, nice I like it.

    But on a serious note McCloskey should win this hands down, but it would be funny if McCloskey got sparked!!

    I doubt Mccloskey would dominate Prescott, but as long as he has a chin he will win.

    The fighters who've beaten Prescott have all had a modicum of movement to their game, even Mitchell who has awful footwork was able to dominate simply because he could out-move Prescott. McCloskey doesn't have that luxury, as he's a stationary target.

    I expect this to be a messy fight lots of grappling and hugging few clean shots but McCloskey takes a close one on the scorecards.

    Hes fairly elusive with his head and body movement though, he doesnt necessarily have to use great footwork to avoid being hit by prescott.

    stationary target isnt fair comment I dont think.

    He mainly uses head and upper body movement to evade attacks.

    I'd be more interested in Frampton vs Martinez if it's confirmed.

    The Odyssey is a terrible boxing venue though, it should have been the Kings Hall.

    interesting fight, i think mccloskey takes this. might not have the best footwork but hes awkward with his head movement.
