    Come on, McCloskey was never in this fight. I don't buy that giving away the first 6 rounds to Khan was his game plan either. Khan was poor tonight, McCloskey was worse.

    khan did not look world class tonight. although i dont know how much that is to do with mclosky's awkwardness.

    What a shock your irish:-(, fair play to mccloskey the fight should not have been stopped but he wasn't going to beat kahn, he lost every round and kahn wasn't really that tired.

    Thank god someone else said it, thought I was watching a different fight to what Khan described. Khan was blowing for me and I did not see McCloskey stumble 4 or 5 times with Khans power like Amir claimed. He was clearly trying to get into the second half of the fight, would he have won who knows, probably not but by god I wish I would have found out.

    McCloskey did what I expected him to do really and I thought he may have been buzzed once at most but perhaps I am wrong.

    Cut looked iffy originally but fine after a about a minute, doc could have gave him another round at least and seen what happened, Khan looked very average for me, although to be fair don't think anyone would look good against Paul he does his job well enough defensively.

    Shame

    Richard Schaefer told me @AmirKingKhan signed (before fight) 4-fight extension with @GoldenBoyBoxing and HBO multifight deal tied to it

    As Tony Dodson just tweeted, Khan vs Bradley is worth 10s of millions potentially, it needs to happen!

    McCloskey hardly landed a punch lads. Lost every round decisively. His defence actually was surprisingly okay, the awkwardness worked in that sense, the problem was his footwork like I said before. Couldn't get into positions to be effective. Khan tired...my ass.

    Khan wasn't remotely impressive though. Neglected his jab which was criminal, he had no measure of range for that reason, he needed that against an awkward opponent. Running in square in doggy paddling?! Thought Roach was supposed to have ironed out those amateurish moments? He did it all night tonight.

    Amir Khan just simply is not a likeable individual and will never be a PPV worthy star in this country. I would have like to have seen that fight go 12 rounds, Khan was defo tired.

    What a disgrace, let the corner work on it & give it a round seen worst cuts numerous times, One time I will say Khan is heading for a KO soon, Paul a so called no hoper made him look very average..

    I honestly think he would have came on strong late on, we will never know but he did catch Khan a couple of times & I feel he would have had more success late on.. such a shame.

    Bradley is going to **** Khan on that showing. Running in windmilling just ain't going to work against a hard, skilled, slick opponent.
