    I agree with TFFP wholeheartedly. McCloskey struggles with the likes of Lauri FFS.

    McCloskey can duck and dive as much as he wants, he's always going to be giving Prescott opportunities to swing those long levers whether he's landing cleanly or not. The key to Vasquez and Mitchell's success was the ability to confuse Prescott by coming inside where Prescott is redundant, working him over and then moving back out again. Good footwork is pretty much the only ingredient needed to beat him and that happens to be McC's weakest suit.

    you do bring up good points, but i think mccloskey will keep it at mid range and prescotts punches wont have as much steam and leverage
    do you think khan can evade prescotts looping punches, his footwork is sometimes all over the place, although khans come a long way since i do worry about him in that 1.
