Amir Khan Vs Paul McCloskey Build-Up Thread!

Hey Marty, I notice that you keep people updated with the McCloskey camp on Twitter. It would be appreciated if you could do the same on here as we don't hear much from McCloskey's camp.

All Pictures/Video's/Posters etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

mccloskey wins by KO middle rounds, too much upper body movement

 

I've been saying Khan by TKO inside 6 rounds but i've changed my mind!

Just seen a video if Khan training after only 2 weeks and have decided Khan by ko inside 4 by body shot!

Seems to be his next shot McCloskey dont bring enough to the table to trouble Khan

MclCoskey is so underated on this site, he has a good chin, excellent counter puncher and does have skills. I have been watching Paul from his first couple of fights and I like him. I Think if this fight goes into the later rounds Paul has a chance, Look how far Madanna pushed Khan, is Madanna a silky smooth boxer or does he just hold the equaliser?

 

Amir always looks good in training..
i would love it if he brings all that into the ring.
Also i hope he learns some ring knowledge/how to fight within the inside and hustle an agressive type fighter.

I know he will always have that stiff back which will set him back with movemnts (shoulder/head)!

 

Stylistically, Maidana was the worst opponent Khan could have faced on that night, and any other night. He's a relentless power-puncher who was always gonna push Khan to the absolute limit, so Khan tiring as he did towards the end, should not be that much of a surprise. Paul McCloskey, whilst being very skilled and a good counter-puncher, is not that kind of fighter.

 

That massive hunch he has, is something I've always noticed from his early career. It will always limit his upper-body movement, as well as his head. Bad news for a fighter like Khan, who relies mostly on his speed, athleticism and youth to evade shots. Once these attributes fade as he gets older and moves up, one must wonder how effective he can remain.

 

I think win or lose people can then make there own judgement on Mccloskey, i personally think this fight has come a little to soon for Paul would of liked to see him defend his title a couple of times then maybe fight for world title but i believe he can cause a upset and if he does:

I certainly have ESB bragging rights.

 

I wonder what Joe is doing in Wild Card Gym ?? come back ??

 

Is Malignaggi in there to help replicate McCloskeys style for Khans sparring?..or is it just a social call?

 

it's always nice to see the ex-fwanky boys holler at eachother and show love..

hatton-khan-calzaggz...

 

Malignaggi trains at the Wildcard now. But he's not being used as a sparring partner.

 

paulie malinag uses that gym for training..
plus him and khan are cool with eachother.
