    well we already do know they are the tightest greediest pricks in world boxing history.

    As for the fight. Salita job.

    However Khan shouldnt get criticised for this. Its a good and justifiable British fight on paper.


    Il look forward to it but i think Khan is too good for Mcloskeys level now

    Low hands and relying on reflex to miss punches is a big problem when come up vs fast hands.

    A bit like Nassem vs MAB.

    i take it thats his new conditioning coach?

    have you got any info on him?

    last i heard he works with fighters at the wildcard that ariza doesn't work with, he's like the second conditioning coach or something.

    That's one of Roach's assistant trainers I think. He was in Khan's corner for the ***an fight back in December 08, the night Pacquiao was facing Oscar.

    It's around 12-1 according to oddschecker. And zero.

    And your final question is like asking what are Luton Towns issues when facing Liverpool F.C... where do you start

    Last time I checked Luton Town were never crowned European champions, hadn't won a domestic title and didn't have an unbeaten record...

    Don't think you're quite grasping the analogy.

    Unlike in Football, being crowned European champion doesn't necessarily mean **** in boxing. Audley Harrison was Euro champ. Salita was unbeaten. Didn't help them when they got in the ring with someone who is world class did it. Both blown away, as will be same for Mccloskey.

    Fair play to the guy though, he got the fight and is going to walk away with a decent sum of money in return for taking a few minutes of punishment.

    Should be announced this week. From what I am hearing is that Scott Quigg is on the bill. Hatton Promotions also looking to make Crolla vs Rees as chief support.
