c'mon paul, u know you're just showing up for a pay check

i think its more of a confidence builder for khan sparring with manny than anything specially after getting KO'd by prescott...but thats done with in the past and i know khan has alot of confidence right now and i dont think this mccloskey or macloud or whatever the hell hes name is wont b able to deal with that

McCloskey: Hey Khan, Sparring With Pacquiao Won't Help! But maybe a pork sandwich will!

[gingeralbino]

Really hope Paul can pull of the upset but in reality he's gonna take a hell of a beating.

But its boxing, and Khans chin isnt great, so hopefully he can land a well timed shot and put him down for the count!

hey, mccloskey, trash talking won't help you

[Drunk Punch]

I've not seen enough of McCloskey to really determine how good he is, but Khan really is super fast and accurate. Unless McCloskey has the speed to match or some power to get Khan's respect I can't see him doing any better than Malignaggi.

Errrr I think sparring with Pac WILL help.




































A lot.

He hasn't

He seems a nice enough bloke but he's so far out of his league it isn't even funny.

He's going from fighting Barry Morrison to fighting one of the best fighters on the planet,

He'll show guts and determination - he is Irish, but the gulf in class is going to be ****ing massive.

McCloskey is actually a very solid fighter (I've always felt he needs to learn to work the body more though and against kahn that would certainly pay dividends Paul's a bit too much of a head hunter imo) a strange fight for kahn to take all the same as Paul is pretty good but has no name especially in the states, but even in England he is not that well known (only in Ireland), so risk v reward for Kahn isn't great. All the same I expect kahn to deliver a beating but would love for Paul to pull something miraculous out of the bag and Kahn is far from unbeatable especially in the later rounds. He may tire and McCloskey is the type that just keeps going and going (okay am clutching at staws but fingers crossed!)

paul hasnt fought anyone as good as kahn

paul is going to get ko'd / tko'd before the end of the fight gareenteed. if a was putting money on i'd say kahn with a tko round 8, hes to fast and to accurate to get beat in this one. bradley will give him more problems then paul but not that much, a think kahn can stop bradley before time is up aswell. unless he takes a couple of zinideen ziadane headbutts that is.
