    How about this fight for the next Frampton card?

    Olusegun came back at the weekend. Both he and McCloskey are at a crossroads in there careers. Good clash of styles. Olusegun is with DiBella who has a good relationship with Hearn. Olusegun is No.3 with the WBC, McCloskey is No.11 with the WBA.
     
  2. It would be a cracking support bout,excellent

    But I'm guessing this is speculation

    The bout could be messy but as both look to work it could be very entertaining.for me ajose is the better boxer and would stop mccloskey but it wouldn't be easy

    Would love to see it, Olusegan like all avoided fighters gets over hyped on here but thats not to say i dont rate him, i do, and would love to see this fight simply because it would be the end of McCloskey.

    Having only ever seen Olesogun against Matthysse it's hard to gauge how good he is, however, he'd almost certainly batter McCloskey.

    I don't really rate Olusegun that highly, but he would murk McCloskey.

    I was the same as you lads i never rated Ajose, Often argued with Olu but the display of courage and skills he showed against Matthysse showed me he's a true world class operator just not had the chances until that night and sadly he met a beast.

    Paul doesnt have the pop or the reactions that he once did to stop ajose walking him down, he would get overworked and stopped late in an ugly fight I think. Not really a lot of options open to McCloskey at this stage really so he may have to take whatever fight is there

    McCloskey could fight in a strip club and I still personally would not give a single ****.

    Good fight a nice 50/50ish fight. I'd fancy Olusegun but McCloskey was alright a while back. Maybe Eddie will think he doesn't need PM as Frampton sells out the Odessesy now and he can take a risk or two now.

    McCloskey would be better fighting the winner of Terry Flannigan v Nate Campbell.

    Would love to see Ajose get it on with Khabib Allakhverdiev,
