    IF the fight comes of, i expect most people outside of n/ireland will have it as a khan showcase, but mcloskey has some good qualitys, and a decent punch to go with his awkward style, i would have him as a live underdog, especialy should it be a hot pace and mclosky gets to the later rounds, and theres always the possibility madaina took a lot more out of khan than apears. Can khan get highly motivated for a fight like this after the big buildup for madaina?:think:good

    He's got hardly any chance... But what do I know, seeing as I've never boxed in my life... (What a **** he really is...)

    RightHook thinks Paul McCloskey p4p #1 :lol:

    I don't, Khan is all wrong for McCloskey, he won't even be competitive against Khan, it will be a Kotelnik style domination except Khan will stop him.

    well bigger upsets have happened so you never know, but tbh i can't see him beating Khan, if Paul is competitive in this fight i'll be happy enough

    big underdog
    he can crack a little bit so he always has a punchers chance
    small chance but a chance all the same

    Just watched the Irishman's last three fights, and I think McCloskey takes this.

    i have to say that mclosky is severly up against it, but with such good odds and mcloskeys deceiving skills, im having £20, many a stranger thing has happened in this job, mcloskey looks a man who don't like scripts.:think:good:good

    About as much chance as Mark Krence would if he was given a thursday afternoon call saying "Chisora's hurt his back.. fancy Klitschko on Saturday?"

    Only two fighters can beat Amir Khan at 140.

    Devon Alexander & Timothy Bradley.

    I can't see it, how does Mcloskey take rounds off Khan?

    and he isn't stopping him
