    Ive not heard much discussion about this fight, but I'm keen to see how this fight will turn out.

    I dont think Prescott can outbox Paul and im on the fence on whether he can get a knockout or not.

    I feel Mccloskey will decision him.

    What do y'all think?

    McC by decision (about 116-112).

    But he has to watch out though, I won't be surprised if it ends up being a T/KO win for Prescott.

    I doubt Prescott will win enough rounds for it to be called a draw, unless its horrible scoring

    Which is why I was pretty happy when this fight was announced.

    It's basically a battle of who gets to call out Khan next. Neither man deserves to, but with McCloskey winning, it at least shows how unworthy of an opponent Prescott is (for those who don't already know), and send the worthless ***** packing for good, hopefully.

    I know McCloskey is not as feather fisted as he appeared to be(to me, against Khan), but I think Presscott will be successful in walking him down.

    I just really wouldn't be surprised if it ended because of an early head clash.

    Prescott has been using his height and reach to box behind a jab and set up combinations to the head and body in recent fights. He's no Tommy Hearns, but he's sharp enough to put forth enough offense against someone with a tendency to be negative like McCloskey to win. He can make Prescott miss, but what will he do if he can't reach him on the inside with anything meaningful? It's a hard fight to pick since McCloskey has better credentials, but I think Prescott will outwork him. Maybe he'll get robbed; he'll have to work very hard for a decision, and I'm not sure he's accurate enough to win 7 rounds so convincingly.

    In any case, check out his last fight.
