Should there be an asterix on Khan's record?

    Stating "two wins by referee assisted decision via headbutt"

    In my opinion the Barrera decision was an even bigger disgrace but the end to last nights fight was dissapointing and leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

    Khan has undoubted talent and speed but he didnt look a great fighter last night against someone he promised he would blow away with ease.

    McCloskey should wonderful defense, pity the offense we saw didnt match that. I hope he can get back into the ring pretty quickly.

    It certainly didn't do British Boxing any favours in the eyes of the US

    The Barrera win was a disgrace. This wasn't that bad really. It was a poor stoppage but Khan was still winning comfortably. McCloskey might have turned it around but it's doubtful

    Hahaha **** off McCloskey showed his level last night, the fight was going one way and one way only. **** fight McCloskey was there to spoil not in Khans league.

    **** stoppage but lets face it did we expect anything else from you, next you will be telling us it was Paul's plan all night to come to spoil and survive until the 7th then knock Khan out.

    McCloskey did nothing on his biggest fight to date, apart from show 'great defence' if that's what you want to call it :lol:

    He killed the night, to what should have been a great overall night.

    McCloskey is a wonderful dancer with a **** defence, he should go for ballet competition and stay out of the ring the ****** no wonder he was unheard of, khan raised his profile he owes Khan big time

    Did anyone ever think that McCloskey would win on the scorecards?

    McCloskeys only chance was to survive until that later rounds and hope for a knockout.

    Wind your next in.

    Actually his best chance was to knock Khan out early, not wait to the 12 for some miracle shot.

    So Slap, it was McCloskey's game plan to lose every round till the 12th and try knock Amir out, was it?

    Because I'm pretty sure that McCloskey said his 'boxing skills' will beat Amir, and he said himself that he would probably get a UD or a late TKO!

    Funny thing is that Khan has been "killing fights" ever since he got sparko'd by Prescott.

    Anyone remember him using the ring as an athletics track against Kotelnik?

    Lap, after lap and lap! Yawn!

    Credit where credit is due, the Maidana fight was a brilliant watch, but lets not kid ourselves and pretend that Khan hasnt had his stinkers.
