    McCloskey is thr European Champion. He's earned his way to the top! He's no joke. He's not Salita. He's no Harrison.

    Yet you'd probably prefer Prescott to this :patsch

    McCloskey is gonna get annihilated in this fight. He's a game, solid and slightly awkward fighter but as soon as Khan starts with the combos, it's all over. Round 4 KO.

    Still a big enough fight in the UK and would be a good tune up though Peterson would have been more competitive.

    Khan by UD but McCloskey will give him a scare simply by being aykward style with head movement khan is not used to. Khan's right hand will catch McCloskey though and ultimately win him rounds. McColskey has a very sneaky uppercut and shoulder roll which could potentially be where I see him giving Khan a scare.

    To be fair to McCloskey he would easily beat Malignaggi or Salita.

    I don't think he'd easily beat Malignaggi at all. I would say it's a toss up. In fact, if I had to choose someone, I'd go with Malignaggi.

    is right to fight him and it will get a decent build up towards the fight.
    But Khan will win this and I him winnning by tko quite early, i dont think Paul M will survive more than 5 rounds with the speed of khan, he just isnt on that level yet

    McCloskey is a decent top 10 light welterweight fighter but i think Khan takes this comfortably. At 30+ Paul isnt getting any younger and since his game is based on quick clever movements i cant see Khan being fazed at all.
