Amir Khan vs Paul McCloskey - Officially confirmed!

upset in the making...i see khan getting drilled by that uppercut...right hook lead looks sweet too....i really hope khan gets prescott'd after dumping ariza.....

 

I make no bones about it im a massive khan fan.

BUT

This is not the fight i wanted to see! Paul will not last three rounds against Amir!

Paul is a slower version of Paulie and a southpaw.

Khan has been sparing with the p4p world champion who is a southpaw and roach has come out saying Amir beats the **** out of him in sparing so imagine what he is going to do to paul!

I dont want to hear well he is in the top 10 or he is undefeated because Salita was ranked higher and was undefeated and a toughter fighter than Paul and look what happen there!

I will NOT pay £15 for this one im just looking forward to Khan vs Bradley and i will remaine a Khan fan!

I understand for Khan its nice to take the easy fights the same for any fighter BUT this is a massive step back.

Brook is better, Prescott is more dangerous, murray is better, Katsidas is better.

THIS IS NOT THE FIGHT WE WANTED TO SEE!!

kHAN START LISTENING TO YOUR FANS AS YOU SAY YOU LOVE THEM SO MUCH WE DID NOT ASK FOR THIS FIGHT.

I really hope this does badly on ppv, as whilst i recognise the really big fights have to be in the US i feel UK fans are going to be increasingly short changed with Khans 'home coming' fights. Could see the below being the way he 'repays' his home fans:

Khan v McCloskey (UK)
Khan v Bradley (US)
Khan v Murray (UK)
Khan v Maidana II (US)
Khan v Witter (debut at 147 UK)
Khan v Mayweather (US)
Khan v Prescott II (UK after being soundly beaten by PBF)

And its doubley annoying that its this fight as its this locked in PPV that stopped Haye v Vlad.

 

I like this fight. Not a super fight, but a good fight.

 

Its a fight that is going to make Khan look very good. Unless the undercard is stacked like you i wont be getting this. I'd have rather seen him against Matthysse which would have sent out a message given his comparisions to Maidana. Or maybe even Holt, but i think from day 1 regardless of all talk it was always going to be McCloskey,

At least Murray which would be massive in Manchester though doubt he has the power or size to trouble Khan would have been interesting for a few rounds.

 

Just makes me angry i think its the whole boxing scene at the momment there all looking for easy fights with max money and after the fight they always make a big deal on how important the fans are and they never listen to us!

Its not like the dont look at the comments we leave on these forums and i bet not one thread was started say please please fight McCloskey.

Such a shame but Ill still follow khan the guy have a massive tallent

 

He. is. fighting. Bradley. after. this. fight.

Why are people getting so butt-hurt? Fights don't happen overnight.

Think realistically people!

 

McCloskey is a far better fighter than murray ffs. I've seen plenty of both, can't see McCloskey or Khan struggling to beat Yousef Al Hamidi. Hamidi maybe should have won that fight depending on what you score.

 

If he signed to fight Bradley next those very same people would be bitching about it saying he should fight Mayweather.

 

Here we go again!!!

Good luck expalining it to this guy Rico!!
