    What you guys think?

    Will Khan be to fast and slick?

    Will this be another Salita fight?

    Here is what Paul had to say:

    Khan is a stylistic nightmare for McCloskey. He has a much better chance against Alexander and to a lesser extent, Bradley.

    Khan struggles with pressure fighters, McCloskey is a awkward counter puncher but he won't be able to deal with Khan's lightning quick hands.

    Khan is at least 2 levels above McCloskey

    McCloskey could make it a very difficult night for Khan if he had a better chin, i dont think he can take Khans punches although he is hard to hit.

    McCloskey simply doesn't have the speed to match Khan.

    late stoppage win for Khan.

    Agreed.

    I like McCloskey and would like to see him against Alexander or for example Maidana.

    Total BS

    McCloskey is looking for a pay day
    Khan is looking for an easy defence

    No matter what happens, they both win

    Who loses?

    The fans having to put up with yet another match up we couldnt give a f**k about
