    Disappointed really.

    Admittedly I haven't seen much of mccloskey but better fights could have been made.

    This is better than katsidis or witter fight but i'd have preferred prescot, murray or peterson.

    I would have preferred Peterson, too. But for the tune-up fight it is, McCloskey's a good opponent for Amir to get accustomed too (style-wise). It'll also fill his pockets up nicely in the mean time. Good choice.

    And like plenty of others have already mentioned in the past, Prescott can be saved for another time - if and when Khan's career takes another setback, and he needs to win over fans again.

    Yeah it's good ticking the box for another style I suppose. I just don't see a victory meaning much.

    I don't see khan having a setback any time soon (unless he fights marquez) that's why I wanted the prescot fight now, I don't ever see it being feasible in the future.

    Excellant news! I wonder if Dudey got more money this time round? If so he drives a hard bargain!

    For future preference,

    Peterson turned down the $300,000 offer. He was first choice. McCloskey was second. Murray was third.

    How do you know this mate?? Are you close to the Khan team??

    You seem to get a lot of inside info.

    I'm happy for McCloskey that he is getting his shot at a world title but I can't see him winning a round in this fight.

    Maybe calling it a 'tune up' has a bad connotation but it should be a pretty straight forward win. But this kind of attitude can also get champions in trouble. If Khan thinks he just has to show up, then he could be in a bit of bother :yep Also I really wanna know who the new conditioning coach will be. Will he push Khan like Ariza did?
