McCloskey Vs Lauri (7th May, Kings Hall Belfast)

[beanskiz]

Anyone know when these tickets will go on sale Cant wait for this fight, 6th round KO for McCloskey in Belfast........... No1 sorted for the undercards either????????

[alexpaterson]

McCloskey is decent, I would like to see him fight some domestic fighters (maybe Barnes or Daws)

I think he has gone past that level of opposition to be honest mate, no disrespect to the above mentioned. He is 30 now and going back to fight domestic standard fighters would be a backwards step. However, Olusegan would be a good fight for Paul as it offers a chance to climb the WBC Rankings. Olusegan is currently ranked NO.2 and McCloskey NO.6.

Daws and Barnes - as Andy Millman said "are you avin' a laugh!"

Does Olusegan now qualify for the EBU title? I think he does but maybe someone might confirm.

It would be good to see Haughian on the bill, his last fight fell through in New York, im sure he's itchin to get into the ring sometime soon.....

really hope McCloskey can stay more active think with his style he needs to be out more, a fight with khan in belfast would be good

[rob12344]

X3 Gone passed that Level

Shock, horror - another Italian gets a crack at the Euro title.

McCloskey is too smooth for him i think.

Ye agree, McCloskey's skills should get him through this defence.

x4 with the Barnes and Daws thing, why the hell would he take a step back like that?

If Olusegun can win British, surely he can fight for European but to be honest I wouldnt really wanna watch him.

[glahn]

Easy defense for McCloskey, he should dominate Lauri.

[tyson07]

mc closkey is far too good for anyone in europe, he will be lookin for a world title shot late this yr or early next

[slapbangwhallop]

Carl Frampton on the undercard , Matchroom won purse bids for English bantamweight fight between Gary Davies and Stuey Hall that could end up there aswell.

to be honest Jake, I am hearing June not May McCloskey. But Brick Fists will be out in May.

Is it Guiseppe Lauri?

How many shots is this guy going to get ???????????

I like McCloskey but cannot ever see this being talked(aparet from here obviously!)about let alone actually happening.

Fair enough, but apparently it's just McClosky that has talked about it. It seems pretty unrealistic right now and I can't see a win over Lauri making any difference.

I not saying your rong yiddo and yeah its pretty much just Dudey thats been talking about it but stranger things have happened in boxing.

[stujones]

Agree with the comments on Daws or Barnes.... However, Lauri isn't a step up from them.

[MrBoxingUK2]

late ko for mccloskey in this fight i think. paul has the talent to become world class i believe

[beanskiz]

looks like the 4th of June (Barry Hearn)
