Who has frampton got lined up next lads? Im excited about him, epsecially after seeing those rankings
This content is protected By Mark Vester European light welterweight champion Paul McCloskey (22-0, 12KOs), ranked at five by the WBA, is not impressed with the champion, Amir Khan (24-1, 17KOs). He challenges Khan for the title on April 16 at the MEN Arena in Manchester, England. He watched Khan's December win over Marcos Maidana and believes his British rival is not a big puncher, and the chin factor is still there. McCloskey felt the referee could have stopped the fight in the tenth. He credits Khan's conditioning as the reason for his survival. Khan's conditioning will be on display in the fight, as strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza was fired two weeks ago. Khan is seen as a superstar but hes certainly beatable. Yes, hes improved dramatically under Freddie Roach but in his last fight Maidana had him rocked, said McCloskey to the Belfast Telegraph. The referee could have stepped in and stopped the fight when Maidana caught Khan in the 10th round but it was Khans conditioning which stood by him he ran like a mad man trying to stay out of the way. Maidana took serious punches from Khan but, except for the one body punch at the start when he went down, he wasnt rocked. Khans not a big puncher.
Yeah it's crap, I posted it as I watched it to be honest. I think he's got the best chance of winning out of Casey-McCloskey-himself possibly, although it is great McCloskey's being written off so much. Plays right into his hands, even if Khan will hardly take him lightly?
So who do we think has the better chance- Magee, Casey or McC? All are huge outsiders- 8/1, 4/1 and 11/2. Think if 1 out of the 3 win we would be doing very well to be honest.
How dye think Carl would of gotten on against Booth or Arthur. 2 smooth looked good, still a warrior.
It's gonna be three bad fights for Irish boxing. McCloskey, Magee and McBride are all set for a pasting IMO.
mcbride defo pasting magee probable pasting casey same again im afraid the more i think about it the more i see it bein a mayweather hatton job but i hope not it be great to see willie do it mccloskey-- keep gettin a small feeling it could be the wrong fight for him but then again sumtin tells me he could cause khan all sorts of problems (irelands best shot for a world title in the near future) lee confident he gets the win macklin agaion confident he gets the win dependin on winky has left what bout yourselves lads
