Khans going to win, I am just saying in his recent camps Khan has come in heavy and not in very good condition. You should see a promo topless pic he did with Maidana his belly was fookin huge
Whaat? Have you seen Khan's weigh-in picture's? That's his abs, mate. That's just how he's built. Khan actually looks in tremendous shape, seeing as how he's over a month away from the actual fight. I don't recall Khan looking as cut as he is so early, actually.
I hope he doesnt win, but I think its on the cards but i will be supporting my man anyway. McCloskey has a chance if he can get through the first few rounds but in reality this is being treated as a warm up fight for Bradley in the summer.
He's always in good nick I heard he is never out the gym.. Lazarus i take it you are one of the team, are you? :huh
no man, I see Paul keeping his hands high for the first few rounds and keeping his legs quite far apart with his right foot constantly sticking out between Khan's two feet. This way Paul should be able force Amir back a bit and make a difficult for him to throw his fast jabs and move away. Obviously Amir will still be able to throw them but the escape will be very hard. If Paul can close the space between them he will then be in a good position to throw those unorthodox punches of his that come from everywhere. His head movement and shoulder rolls will come into play, Amir is obviously very fast but it'll be difficult for him to use those really quick reflexes when they're in close. I think Amir respects Paul but I also think he's underestimating him and whilst it's one thing adapting in a fight you knew was going to be hard it's another thing to adapt when things aren't going your way, it's your homecoming fight and your supposed to win easily. I can see Amir getting frustrated and getting sloppy and Paul stopping him around rounds 8 or 9. Granted, Amir is well capable of beating Paul but I feel that this is going to be a case of style's and the winner will be the guy who can deal with the other guys style. If Paul stands in front of Amir in the centre of the ring and allows him to jab and move then he's doomed but I don't think Paul will be that naive.. How do you see it mate?
I have to agree there Laz, I think he generally keeps in good shape. That initial bit of weight that goes on between fights is **** easy to loose. I took the **** a few months ago and was slagging him when the pictures with him on the tear with Lewis Hamilton appeared. Funnily enough, I heard him claim in an interview about 12-15 months ago that his walking around weight was 145. Interestingly it's gone quite higher now... Don't know if anyone else remembers this interview..? It was the one where he credited moving to the states as getting him the world title and he spoke about how his fat content was down to less than 1%.. Anyone remember it?
I have been a fan of McCloskey from the start and to say he has been underestimated is a understatement. Paul is a very good boxer and throws punch's from different angles and is a very good counter puncher, which could be Khans downfall because they hurt even more when you dont see them coming. I feel Khan is at his strongest at the start of bouts and could get a knock out early , Paul needs to get on his bike abit and upset the apple cart in the later rounds this is where i feel he can get his stoppage. I hope this is McCloskeys defining fight I hope he takes the crown back to Ireland but he has to have the fight of his life. :good
Just a fan with a few sources, mate. Amir is always 10-12 pounds over his fighting weight. Funnily enough, Amir had a Contest for Ringside Tickets, and you had to guess his Weight. I guessed it correctly at 149 Pounds along with a few others. A shame I wasn't selected for the Tickets, eh.. The interview sounds familiar.
sources my arse ,your just a studant twat who sits on the internet googleing amir khan every 5 minuets .Stop trying to sound like the big man
Yeah, he'll have to be on top top form and even at that I wouldn't be surprised if Amir was ahead on the cards if/ when Paul wins by a stoppage. I seem to be in a minority of Irish fans who expect a McCloskey win, it seems to be 60-40 Khan.
1. I'm a student at Uni, yes. 2. My Sources are his close friend Saj, Second is his Uncle Shahid, Third is his Uncle, Taz Khan and last is his Manager's Number. (These aren't hard to get hold of by the way.) And 3. Get the **** out my thread, you ****.

I wonder was he telling a few fibs when he said he was 145 :good
