    In my opinion he has lost 3 in a row.

    Corley showed he gets confused very easliy if you stick to the basics - straight punches, move and work behind the jab, which Khan and Prescott did also. He needs adapt a bit, his style needs reflexes like a cat, he was getting caught way too much.

    Come to think of it, I have no idea how he was leading the Corley fight.

    His used to work his way into midrange wit hthe shoulder and use his looping punches to his advantage, his hip movement was very good, moving at the waist and working the body and head with hook combos and good counter punches, he made a big statement when he came in on very short notice to hammer Colin Lynes into verbal submission.

    Prescott busted up his nose because he just literally walked into those shots, Corley, come on, he just swung, he was hitting McCloskey at will, there wasn't much science involved in Corleys work, McCloskey was just ****in atrocious.

    And I agree, personally Nick Halling and Jim Watts commentary made me shake my head, I literally turned to my mate and asked "what ****in fight are they watching?" Corley battered McCloskey the whole fight no question. its a stain on irish boxing that McCloskey was ahead

    Laz, listed a few decent potential opponents.

    He was supposed to fight Curtis Woodhouse at one stage but 'people' turned their collective noses up at it, would they still?

    If not Anwar, Hamilton, Theoinsane or even Alex Arthur would be acceptable.

    Despite the slating he always gets here he is still probably the second best LWW in the UK after Khan. A damning indictment of the division maybe.
