Amir showing some DOGG! I like it a lot and i agree with everything he said there. McCloskey looked like trash. rematch?! your having a ****ing laugh! This idiotic irish primetime pundit even comes out with ''after khan beats bradley, i wanna see a Khan vs McClosley rematch in VEGAS''
I think McCloskeys corner were saying sh*t after the fight was over....and you could tell Khan was pissed off....and then when people were asking him if there was a possibility of a rematch....I think that pushed him over the edge....do you blame him....wasnt his fault that the last 6 rounds didnt happen...and like he said....he won all 6 rounds, but if it was 3 rounds a piece....then fair enough, even i'd expect a rematch.....
Khan missed a lot of shots on McCloskey where he landed on Mlaignaggi. McCloskey's face beared no marks at all before the clash of heads. I don't blame Khan or McCloskey but the Doc was a joke and the descision cannot be defended. Khan was gasping in his corner quite heavily though.
There you have it from the horses mouth, McCloskey quit. Who asks a doctor how the cut was - you just say you're fine. No doctor in the world is going to send a fighter out if he doesn't want to continue.
how the hell do you know he "would have won regardless?" obviously mccloskey was going to lose the first rounds, that's a agiven, but he was hurting khan with counters and I bet you were one of those who said it wouldnt go past 3. I love how no-one mentions khans little brother acting all big and trying to square up to people after the fight. "khan looked like ****" yeah.thatll be thanks to mccloskey.
Errr no, Amir was punching air all night, terrible performance by him. To say he would knock out that euro bum in the next 2 rounds is preposterous.
I have watched the fight twice, khan was missing for fun, he needs to learn to pick his shots better instead of wishful high speed hit and hope. But then again he been sparring with pac, seems that he tries now to blitz his opponents out of there instead of taking his time and box. The problem is that his chin ain't good enough for such a style, while pac's is.
I have watched the fight again. If anything it is similar to the paulie fight with khan gradually getting his distance and timing down. Paul was losing a shut out. He made khan miss more than alot of fighters but hardly landed anything of significance. Also, if the fight continued i doubt the gash on paul's eye would have benefited him for the rest of the bout.
I've watched the fight twice and I couldn't see one counter that hurt Khan. I was rooting for McCloskey and I'll give him that he showed a good defense but overall he's not good enough at the highest level.
I'd like to see if there are any punch stats from the fight it looked to me like Amir really couldn't catch McCloskey at all, maybe just the shitty picture I was watching it on though. Just a shame McCloskey wasn't throwing back otherwise it would have been very interesting.
