Paul McCloskey - Khan's toughest test to date?

The days of Khan getting floored by the likes of limond are far behind him.

as for McColskey, i have no dislike for him, and i wish him luck but i think this fight needs to be viewed with realism

 

As much as I want McCloskey to win, I rekon khan will win by TKO, he will just overwhelm him with punches!

If McCloskey can withstand the barrage of punches from Khan and catch him with punches he cant see coming maybe he has a chance.

I wonder if Khan will be as effective without training under ariza.

 

Well the reality is he is a european belt holder and knocking on the door of a world title fight anyway weather its bradley or Khan. I think this fight has come a little to soon 3 fights to soon to be exact.
Win or lose I just hope that McCloskey puts in a good acount of himself and proves alot of doughters wrong and shows he will be able to perform at this level.
Im still gonnar put money on a McCloskey KO.

 

Take the under straddled with Mcloskey by KO imo

Khan either takes Mcloskey out early, or Mcloskey catches Khan early imo

 

You must be related to Dwyer

 

:rofl

nah man, maximise your profits, dont blow your stake on one bet.

think about it if your sure of your bet you will still win if you takt that straddle, plus you are covered unless it goes 12 or khan wins late which i doubt

 

I have always thought this with Khan, that he always has more KO power and more of a threat in the first 4 rounds of a fight than he does in latter rounds and somewhat loses his edge on his punching power not like some fighters who always carries the equliser all the way through there bouts.
Thats why i give McCloskey a chance in the second half of the fight, the first 4 rounds will be a nightmare for McCloskey.

 

I thought a straddle bet was in poker?

 

LOL at the people saying malignaggi would beat mccloskey, kotelnik and maidana maybe... (Kotelnik would have a much better chance than maidana though) malignaggi,uhhhhh just no.

 

What is this statement based on?

At least Paulie has wins over guys like N'dou X2, Ndougu, Diaz, and Cherry.

 

When has Khan every laid someone out on their back?

 

What about that guy he ran over? Khan in a car KO1 McCloskey

 

just wait and see man, just wait and see

 

Nah, I think Dwyer's just his idol.


Back to the topic... no, Kotelnik > Maidana > Malignaggi > McCloskey. IMO.

 

I agree with this, think it's come too early for McCloskey but you never know in boxing.
