    TFFP, i thought Amir's footwork was shabby which lead to his off balance and timinmg. His posture is very stiff and wasted at times!

    He has the shield up which is good but no damn angles???

    He didn't show **** at all..

    In most of his 26 fights from fighting the likes of Colin Bain to Willie Limond through to tonight he's been doing what you have mentioned.

    I will always say that when Khan thinks and chooses the right punch he has terrific ability. But everything tonight was horrible to watch.

    The cracks were exposed against Prescott, he's one defeat away from his boxing career being finished. The Bradley fight wont happen.

    niether did McCLoksey. Khan worst performance since prescott but he still won every round and McCloskey barley landed a shot.

    On a side note, that was the best atmosphere I've ever heard in an Arena.

    So what, not many were tuning in expecting a masterclass from McCloskey. He was supposed to win every round and actually look reasonable doing it keeping in mind he was fighting a European champion and we're looking ahead to showdowns with Timothy Bradley and he's raving about being a p4p fighter. In that context we have to be fairly critical of his performance levels and tonight was noway near good enough. McCloskey looked like...well...the less than world class fighter he's supposed to be and that we thought he might be.

    McCloksey is a spoiler. He wouldn't win a round agaisnt Tim Bradley and those guys etc but he would make him look **** to.

    McCloskey is basically a slow version of junior witter without a punch.

    Tim Bradley wouldn't have looked that **** because he knows how to work in the pocket. He'd have just sat on McCloskey, outworked him, and thrown reasonable looking punches while doing it. Windmilling 7 spastic punch combos whilst moving is not impressing anybody.

    I have seen a couple of Tim Bradley fights where he didn't look fantastic.

    They would have still came out with the same result though, winning every round against McCloskey. Bradley wouldn't have looked as ****, but I doubt he would have impressed if he was in against McCloskey tonight either.

    Khan's style is effective, despite how '****' people think it looks.

    He's never failed at all the fundamentals quite as badly as that. Don't even pretend he has. There is a difference between a low key performance where the fire isn't there such as Abregu or w/e, and failing at the fundamentals of boxing.

    If paul would have fought like that against Timmy, head clashes would have occured from round 1!

    Bradley fights like a dirty fuk, his goes down low and strikes with his big head up..
    khan v brad will be one dirsty fest with a technical stoppage.
