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?
if history tells us anything, prescott will lose....hes beaten 1 guy ever who was ranked..Khan...and hasnt done jack since...and his power has dried up apparently
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.
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.
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.
