    In the context i really don't think a world class fighter should have a great deal of problems with Prescott. Paul thinks he's world class he should do this job in style and once you get past the dangerous 4 rounds Prescott loses his punch form and loses his head normally and becomes ragged and that's when you start to pick him apart.

    Thinks and Is are completly different! McCloskey is not world class by any standard!

    Well he thinks he is so we have to wait and see. Anything less then a convincing display and another reason to go 'how **** did Khan lose to him'' will be a disappointment on Paul's part.

    I can't work out how this fight's gonna pan out tbh..Awkward and messy most probably.

    Beating Prescott comfortably does not make one world class. I expect McCloskey to win but I still think he'll be beaten by all the top guys in the division.

    One fight doesn't normally make a fighter world class but it helps when you making that claim. This isn't gonna change things to much but he needs a good display to continue making boastful claims. Otherwise it will be egg on face for Paul.

    Won't be as easy people think. Mitchell beat Prescott, but he was quick and had a high work rate which frustrated Prescott. I'd be interested to see how McCloskeys casual hands down style works with Prescott. We might have another 'cheated not defeated' result for him :D
