    I'd like a McCloskey win but not in the ''Prescott-fashion'' that people are talking about. I'd prefer if he actually outfought Khan by being the better boxer and leaving no room for doubt, not allowing anybody to say that he got ''lucky'' in his victory, as can be said about Prescott's win. This, in turn, would eradicate my thoughts of ''but I'd like to see Khan-Bradley'' as, if Paul proves to be just plain better(which is 99.9% unlikely, I know) than Amir, I'd want him vs Bradley.

    good post.

    Maybe I will alter my position, I would like to see McCloskey outboxing Khan comprehensively and then vapourise him in Prescott fashion in the 8th :good

    I like boxing and I certainly don't know as much as folk on here.
    I know Paul is the underdog. I know the 99.9% figure posted above is an exaggeration but I don't think it is that unlikely. Folk are going on like banging McCloskey is going to get banged out. That is my biggest fear. If he doesn't get taken early on, I think there is every danger he can cause big problems.

    I am having trouble with the idea that it is a complete walkover. It just doesn't seem that way to me.

    McCloskey. I don't care what the fight is like as long as Dudey wins.

    I know that's what you would like to see but the opposite will most likely happen.

    I hope its a good fight.Still not sure who I want to win,just hope they put a good show on for the fans and give a good advert for Brit boxing.
    I think Amir will win,not sure if I want him to or not though.

    Yeah that's exactly my thoughts on it. As usual I support the underdog and hope it's not a big mismatch. I've been a fan of McCloskey for years but I think I want Khan to win more because there are some great potential fights coming up.

    I want to see Khan V's Bradley more than I want to see McClosky V's Bradley.

    I like McClosky, love to see an upset, but want to see Khan V Peanut more.
