    From ringside I could hardly see any blood, poor stopage?

    I think Dudey could still get some good fights in the near future, Khan was just too quick, think he'll ever get a world title?

    Nope. He was there to dance and use his sad reflexes to make it a displeasing fight.

    He will go back and stick to fighting euro-level talent where he can use his reflexes and punch for once, at the same time.

    McCloskey killed the EVT.

    He was dominated, but I think it's unfair the abuse he's taking, he's not a bad fighter...Khan was just superior and made him look bad maybe?

    Credit to him for risking his '0' and fighting Khan, he could of built afew more pointless wins and waited for a lesser opponent with a no mark belt...

    McCloskey is a very awkward guy, and I personally believe he would give many of the top 140 pounders issues. He probably wouldn't beat them, but he certainly wouldn't be ran over by them. A shame he didn't take the fight with both hands, as he could have made it more competitive. Sitting back and trying to stay out of range, was never going to trouble Khan - who was scoring points with quick flurries that would find the mark a few times, and was comfortably winning every round.
