    I want Dudey to outthink, outsmart and thoroughly outbox Khan, then spark Amir out in round 8 (as round 8 will make me nearly a grand) and then McCloskey dodging Bradleys head, and beating him in a unification bout.

    I'd love McCloskey to stick Khan on his arse and mess up his well laid plans.

    I'm not a massive fan of Khan (impressive as he was against Maidana) but would like to see him win so the Bradley fight will happen.

    First & foremost I hope we get to see a decent fight.

    Here's a question: If Dudey wins is there a rematch clause or is there a chance he could fight Bradley instead of Khan?

    I might put on another £10 for round 9!

    Theres bound to be a rematch clause, though i'd **** myself laughing if Dudey won, then didnt honour any rematch clause and went straight for a unification bout with Bradley...what would/could Khan do...Team Khan dont appear to be famous for honouring contracts ;)

    I want Khan to win coz hes an exciting fighter, i love watching him fight and it will set up a good few more brilliant fights.

    But if McKloskey wins it ill be happy

    Yeah not arsed to be honest.

    As a fan of the sport and neither boxer in particular i'd like to see Khan win to set up the fights further down the line....

    ....However, it'd be funny to see McCloskey pull out a left hook and chop Khan down.

    All in all i'm not too bothered either way

    I'm a fan of Khan as a boxer but I just think he talks that much **** out of the ring and I can't stand his stupid accent so I always seem to root for his opponent. It would be better for boxing if Khan wins and I really want to see Khan v Bradley.

    Don't care. I am indifferent to Khan, I used to like him but his greed and his family's money grabbing, unscrupulous behavior pisses me off. But I can't be arsed with Irish fighter either.
    McLoskey is completely out his depth anyway so it is really irrelevant.

    I always thought people were inflating Khan's win over Maidana, due to the fact that he could take a few shots. His defence was awful and last night an over-the-hill Eric Morales fought Maidana with one eye and deserved at least a draw.

    Khan v McCloskey is a lot closer than what people think

    Ive always liked Khan,still do, and championed his abilities and ****, but ive gotten a pain in my hole this past few weeks with the way this fight has been goin, and the way McCloskey is bein dismissed as a no-hoper. Is he ****, and thats not patriotism talking, thats the head. Not only do i hope, but i THINK, McCloskey is more than capable of beating Khan on pts in a close fight. Having said that, if its real close then i cant see them giving it to McCloskey in Manchester (nothing wrong with Manchester, its just that the fights in Khans backyard so to speak)
