    One of the worst performanes of Pauls career, Lauri is an akward fighter and was fighting in the southpaw stance for the whole fight and hes always been an orthodox fighter. Paul got dragged into a scrappy close quarters fight which suited Lauri and is not Mccloskeys style at all. Pauls a boxer who usually fights at range using his skills and head movement. If they fought a reamatch Paul would win a lot easier

    he has very good shoulder rolls, hand speed and foot speed, what highlight did you see?

    this one?

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGyzlOMEg1U[/ame]

    I dont see how you see a mismatch from this highlight.

    ive seen a few of his fights live though, and mcloskey is one cool, slick customer.

    I'm no Khan fan but he'll KO this joker inside of 3 rounds, he has too much speed for him. Not sure I like the way he carries his left low either, big right hand from Khan will finish it would be my guess.

    problem for him that I see is that he is not much of an inside fighter and that's where you beat Khan. Khan is great at long distance.

    mcloskey has great "string" combos, in that he throws a few arm punches on the inside followed by a hard shot ala calzaghe. I think he is being sorely underestimated here

    I hear you, But Khan is better at straight punches and the speed will really show imo. I just hope to see a good fight if this is on HBO
