    Good point i was at both fights and more so than southpaws in both fights Dudey picked up swelling over his front eye caused by the head early in each bout so couldnt use his patented shoulder roll or reflex pull back therefore looked uncomfortable.Now i cant see Khan having the nuts to go inside early therefore cutting down the chance of swelliing caused by the head.
    GGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOO Dudey :bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy

    I think it would be stupid of Khan if he does, IMO he is not a clever enough fighter to be complicating things for himself and changing to Southpaw.

    What suggests that Khan will turn southpaw other than the fact McCloskey has trouble with them? Just because McCloskey has problems with them doesn't mean Khan will all of a sudden make significant adjustments to his style. Maidana is very uncomfortable against adversaries who incorperate a lot of head movement, why didn't Khan start trying to imitate Sweet Pea Whitaker? It doesn't make sense.

    What Pat is saying is true he did look uncomfortable against two southpaws but i believe it was the eye injuries that was most of the problem so hopefully khan looking at the southpaw stance as Dudeys left hook over the top would land all night..

    I'm not debating that he has encountered problems against portsiders, but nothing suggests Khan will completely revamp his fighting style just on that basis. He has enough in his arsenal to beat McCloskey as it is, there's no point in him making such significant changes just for this fight. He didn't do it(as in make any major adjustments to his style) against Maidana in his biggest fight to date, why would he make an even bigger one now?

    You are right the after party should not be relocated to his to be bedside for if it should be occuppied by women other than his missus it could lead to much embarrasssment. However being a well raised Irishman that is most unlikely.

    Wish I was going but with the help of nutjob I hope to see it.

    Give em hell Dudey:bbb

    Just after watching McCloskey/Lynes and if Paul leaves himself wide open when he throws an uppercut like he did in that fight, Khan will counter him and stun him!

    Could well happen, I think McCloskey is gonna be looking for the uppercuts, Maidana had a lot of success with the uppercuts against Khan and McCloskey does like to throw them.
