    more like a win vs ndou and a loss vs ndou on my card. good win, but ndou has lost just about every significant fight hes ever had (except the draw vs magic matt)

    how good IS a win vs cherry? decent, but hardly "OMFG he beat edner cherry this guys a world beater" mccloskey is better than cherry

    ngoudjo? come on..


    diaz. yeah ok, good win.



    basically though, its based on having seen a LOT of both fighters, and mccloskey beats malignaggi in my mind every time, certainly now, did you see malignaggi vs lozada? he looked rediculous against a negative opponent who clearly didnt want to be there. if that had been mccloskey it would have been a baaaaaad night for old paulie.

    let me ask you... what are you basing THAT on? mccloskey has touched down once in his career.

    Mcloskeys Irish so hes definitely not a push over. Hes an honest lad and will be coming for war

    Well we will get to see how Maglinaggi and Mcloskey do against a common opponent, so we will find out.

    I tell you what is funny, Mcloskey and Maglinaggi are the same age, yet Mcloskey looks like a man and Paulie........ doesnt.

    just an observation

    Thats what i'm basing the early stoppage on.

    I have a feeling that Mcloskey is going to attempt o "old man" khan and i think it'll backfire.

    Just a feeling but when i look at styles, levels fought at, experiance in big fights, an early stoppage seems likely.

    Nothing against Mcloskey, but this is a tune up fight NOT a serious test.

    Who has Mcloskey beat to prepare him for this?

    Its got Salita job written all over it

    Some people are way overrating McCloskey. He wouldn't be able for any of the top guys in the division and he won't win a round against Khan.
