Amir Khan Vs Paul McCloskey Build-Up Thread!

excellent thread keep it up.khan ko1 mccloskey

 

This is why i love this thread. Insight of the purists.

 

Khan seems to be taking this fight very lightly-I read somewhere he's already in negotiations with Bradley about a unification. A lot of posters on this forum seem to think the same. Yes, Khan is in a different class to what Dudey has faced already- but on the other hand Khan hasnt faced anyone with the unorthodox style of McCloskey. Khan has also seemed to have had a very disrupted preparation-surely flying over and back to the phillpines in the build up isnt the cleverest thing to do, or is sacking your conditioning coach,who Khan himself credited with winning him the Maidana fight. In my opinion Khan is taking his eye off the ball and is believing all the hype being written about him, and come April 16 if his head is not in the right place and he's dreaming of a fight with Bradley, McCloskey is well good enough to take advantage. I cannot wait for the fight and am hoping that Dudey knocks Khan out and brings home the belt!

 

I see McCloskeys trainer is coming out with the old "you can't put muscles on your chin" line.
And I thought they were chasing Khans temple too!

 

2/3 rounds and McCloskey is lying on the canvas like a sack of potatoes. McCloskey wont beat Khan not in a million years, He is going from fighting Barry Morisson to fighting one of the best boxers in the world. :rofl

 

History repeats itself, Malginaggi said he had an akward style and that he was going to beat Khan we all know what happened there, Before that Salita said Khan had a bad training camp because Khan was having to travel before the fight and we seen how badly Salita was sparked.

If you want to put your money on McCloskey go ahead, Just dont cry when you loose your money and Dudey gets sparked early.

 

i don't see a problem with Khan training in the Phillipines. He got some good sparring over there and even though Ariza is no longer with him it's not like he no longer has a conditioning coach.

Actually I expect Khan to be alot sharper as he didn't have a long period of inactivity this time around. I guess people need some hope!

 

He'll be training angry today.. given that he's just lost a few hundred K

 

Hopefully it will get them to think about stacking a decent undercard in the future so a pull-out won't cost them the PPV.

 

Khan is not a ppv draw :deal

 

what are his previous ppv numbers?

 

Between 75 and 125. 2008/9 those are borderline PPV, but not 2011 unless they are getting something other than just that single bout.

 

I agree he hasn't recovered from the casual fans perspective anyway from the Prescott defeat and he needs to be built up all over again im afraid it shouldnt be too hard because the man in the street knows who he is.

They just have to get the man in the street to want to buy a ppv featuring him

 

how the **** did haye vs harrison get 700k buys?

 

I watched McCloskey spar Andy Murray yesterday and must say he looks in fantastic shape physically. Team Dudey are looking forward to this and genuinely believe they are going to expose every weakness Khan's got :good

Once he can survive the first two rounds I'd be reasonably optimistic Dudey can win this fight, he will get stronger as the fight goes on.
