Paul McCloskey aiming for a KO against Amir Khan

[lefty]

Yeah; fair play to him. He got the bout offered and took it. There's a difference though between one of the best in Europe and being in the top 2 in the world at the weight. Khan gets better; can you imagine Maidana v McCloskey?

Salita v McCloskey would be some fight; (no disrespect to Paul who is a very capable boxer); it is about levels.

I have to disagree on the salita v mccloskey fight,i think mccloskey would deal with that chump *imo* fairly easily.

I'm actually getting fairly excited for this one, the more I think about the bigger a chance I give to McCloskey. He's a fairly decent puncher, tricky, good jab, elusive(though at times gets sloppy with his hands, he'll need to be 100% all night to win) but the whole card looks brilliant!

Is it me or is Paul 'Dude' McCloskey looking stronger then I have ever seen him before?

That 10/1 that Boylesports are offering seems almost as generous as the Evens obtained for a Rigo win.

Never any harm on having a punt at 10/1 at this level, the 4/1 on Khan to be knocked down is good value IMO.

With this on PPV I was waiting for the "McCloskey might just pull an upset" segment from Sky Sports News
