    You certainly do.

    I'm not dismissing Paul's chances or anything. He's more than capable of scoring an upset. However it's just my feeling that he won't be pushing Khan to the limit in the way Maidana did. Paul's a boxer, and if he's to beat Khan, he'll do it by making him miss and making him pay. One counter that Khan won't see, could be all that is needed to end the fight.

    Maybe a few of the Irish fans here who would know better than me, could add to or change some of these if they're wrong.

    I'm not trying to make out that Khan has a Granite chin, but if Maidana couldn't end it with the huge overhand and the rest of the assault in the 10th, then how can McCloskey do it with one?

    This is boxing, Laz. Anything can happen. Lewis took hellacious shots from Vitali Klitschko (especially the one at 1:02)....

    Different types of punches hurt different fighters Laz. Lennox was a sucker for short right hands at times when he got sloppy because of his height and guys would catch him with right hands especially smaller guys who could creep the shots through. Yet when he adapted under Steward and saw the shots coming and concentrated he took them well until Rahman fight where he was appalling. Rico is right in what he said and showed. He could see Vitali's shots coming which helps because mentally you absorb the shot lot better then shots you don't see.

    Obvious that's not the case with all fighters. I think Breen said it's the temple that Khan's weak point not the chin?...think he said that....

    It's shocking how little so many fighters know about what is going on in the sport around them.

    Ah ok, thanks Rico.

    Thanks for the post Cupid :good

    Damn! Ah crap, I really wanted to attend the the Khan fight. I just know he's (Bradley) going to get into the ring after Khan beats McCloskey. This is all about the Promotion hype.
