How long will McCloskey last?

1-4 Khan too quick, McCloskey too easy to hit

 

he got one brilliant body shot in that Dudey would likely have avoided...Khans body shot was class...Dudeys was better! :yep 8:30 [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sbUCkQ36wY[/ame]

I wouldve thought you'd be the first to pay up for this...thought you were a muslim...not a jew!

Should be a much better fight than many are anticipating...especially when Dudey wins the belt!...precious memories!

 

9 or 10, think he'll be very durable but will get overwhelmed or pulled out late on after losing every round.

 

hook why arent u goin, its great cause most off these guys dont know how good dudey really is, but maybe they will have a different opinon on sat nite,

 

Khan Vs. McCloskey- Fight Preview & Prediction

Khan wont want it to be over too quick after the PPV debacle, he'll give it 5 or 6 rounds before ending it I reckon.

I will be rooting for McCloskey though, I wish I could like Khan but he's just a dickhead.

McCloskey has looked good with his slick uppercuts and what-not but none of his opponents I've seen clips of were anywhere near Khans level of speed and punch volume. McCloskey is too open and will get stopped.

 

king khan can easy ko him in round 1,but it would be better for king khan to get 4 or 5 rounds in as he got to put on a show for his army of fans worldwide.

 

I'm thinking 8 or 9 on an accumulation stoppage. Obviously it will depend how well McCloskey takes Khan's punch.

 

fixed

 

This McCloskey guy looks surprisingly good to watch. Seems to use the shoulder-roll for a while, then switches it up to a more standard guard. The way he throws and bends away from shots reminds me a little of a watered down Hamed, too. Nice uppercut and straight, and I really like the fact that he uses the jab constantly. He was sometimes countering over the other guy's jabs in a tricky way. His style has some nice flavour to it...as the commentator said, definitely a 'stylist'.

That body shot was sickening. That's actually one of the hardest body shots I've seen, I think. Ouch.

That said...I can't really see him beating Khan. He got hit too much due to his low guard, and the other guy wasn't even that quick, nor did he have a good workrate. Khan, someone who can hang with Pac and Floyd in terms of speed, will pepper McCloskey with punches. That shoulder-roll or low guard is going to backfire quite badly. One thing that could be interesting, however, is if McCloskey is able to use the trick he was employing in the above video on Khan -- basically just hooking over Khan's jab, or using a type of pull-counter with his straight. Maidana was able to time and counter Khan, so I guess it's possible for this McCloskey guy to try it. If Khan gets countered in the middle of his flurries, it could get interesting...but I'm going with the crowd and calling this a TKO for Khan, or a wide UD if McCloskey has a good chin.

 

Khan by knockout, probably early....................

 

Khan should win with in 6 rds, but i would be happy if went on longer.

 

It will be Kahn on points or McCloskey stops Kahn
Remember me, when this turns out the way i predicted

 

i cant see him lasting past the 4th

 

I think Khan will win on points.

People are making McCloskey out to be some kind of pudding, when he's the former British and current European champion.... unbeaten, beaten some decent opponents and is awkward.

Khan might have improved, but he's faced nothing by way of awkward opposition since winning the title..... Maidana is obviously a banger but isn't awkward..... Malignaggi was tailor made for him..... Salita a glass jawed joke.

He's not going to have it all his own way :deal
