Eddie Hearn: McCloskey will be tougher for Khan than Maidana

Well according to Eddie Hearn anyway

http://boxing-ireland.com/20110402_eddi ... ey_71.html

I disagree. But you gotta sell fights so he's gonna say that. I hope McCloskey does well though.

if McCloskey starts slow like he sometimes does think khans speed will overwhelm him and get a 1st or 2nd round stoppage if he can get in a rthym then think he'll have a few good rounds before getting stopped late on

Maidana for me is a top 20 P4P fighter and McCloskey is barely top ten in his division Eddie Hearn can talk some rubbish

i'm curious what khan will have left after that maidana fight.

he turned his back in the 10th, seeming to signal that he'd had enough.

ben dunne was through after one blowout defeat (kiko) and one gruelling win (cordoba). khan is fast and talented but seemingly not made for these hard fights. perhaps the difference with khan and dunne is that khan is at his ideal weight, whereas dunne may have been killing himself to do super bantam.

I think McCloskey has a good chance against Khan with his style, I wouldn't be surprised if he was not only tougher for Khan to beat than Maidana but for McCloskey to win.

I cant believe anyone can seriously think that. I'm no Khan fan boy but McCloskey has no chance with his hands at his waste against the quickest hands in the sport. Lots of daft posing and single shots will be no match for Khan's workrate and fast combinations. The man who next beats Khan will be a relentless pressure fighter or a grade A master boxer. McCloskey is in for a beating.

I think he's right. But only in the same way as he was right about Harrison beating Haye.

eddie said the same thing about fraudley H before the haye fight

iT MAY BE CLOSE FOR A FEW ROUNDS BUT ONCE KHAN FIGURES HIS STYLE OUT, EXPECT HIM IM DOMINATE

Woaw, excuse the stupid use of caps lock.

Erm tougher?....nah Eddie did you see the fuckin Argentine?

How's your weight, Paul? Training going well?

Good to see Hearn Jr talks the same bollocks as his dad.

Name ain't Paul, its Rick. But as your asking my weight could be better, bit out of hand at mo. Training? Seriously need to get started doing some. By the way, because I'm not tossing off over this Khan bloke dont mean I'm 'McCloskey'

Eddie - Benjiman Button - Hearn.

This 'Khan bloke' is a world class, elite fighter who's learnt from his only loss and come back stronger.

McCloskey is a good fighter, but he's out of his depth here. Can see this being a bit like Khan v St Clair. One way traffic.

That said, I hope he's competitive so he gets other opportunities down the line.

He had a long period of inactivity before the Maidana fight- I expect Khan to be sharp!

Khan came of age that night, and will just be much better than McCloskey in every department!!!!!
