    Exactly. I think McCloskey will take it. This is how I see it happening, apologies for clogging up this forum on another fight.

    I believe he has the skillset to beat Khan and I also believe he is capable of outboxing him. I think the McCloskey win will come by way of TKO and in getting the TKO he will need to outbox Khan. I concede that Khan is also well capable of outboxing McCloskey but I think McCloskey will have his day.

    I don't buy into the arguement that the only way to outbox Khan is to out pressure him. I've actually come to revise a lot of what I've thought about Khan over the lat few weeks. Undoubtedly he's very talented but I feel that he can be a bit two dimensional, he's very good at throwing fast jab combinations and getting on his bike but I don't think he's as elusive as people might think, I don't think he's great at moving off to the side or slipping punches.

    I reckon McCloskey will control the centre of the ring and if he can keep his hands up for the early rounds and keeps his right foot on the inside of Khan's left foot, he'll cut of Khan's running game. We all know that Khan can throw them jabs but it's very hard to throw a fast jab when your on the inside and your escape route is blocked, this is when McCloskey's shoulder rolls, head movement and counter punching will come into play.

    I think it will be very tight but McCloskey is well capable of doing it. Obviously Khan will bring his own ring craft into play and it'll be interesting to see what he'll do to counter McCloskey's style. In my opinion throwing fast jabs, taking a step back and circling to the side won't be an option.

    You make it sound so easy.

    Fact of the matter is, McC is in way over his head and it'll be a short nights work for Kahn.

    Paul will not be able to deal with his speed and will be eating fast flurries all night - I'm not even a Kahn fan but anyone can see that this is stacked massively in Kahn's favour.

    I wish Paul all the best, but he is just way overmatched and is little more than a keep-busy fight for Amir.

    (Also, gotta throw in the cliche's of "speed kills" and "styles make fights.""
