I like McCloskey too. If it gets past the first 3 rounds, i expect McCloskey to do well - maybe not win but show that he's a much better fighter than people are giving him credit for.
It'll be interesting to see if Khan looks as quick/strong as he did when he was with Ariza. Also i want to see how his stamina is in the later rounds - as that has a big bearing on how his fight with Bradley (should he win tomorrow off course) goes.
I've got a feeling Khan won't try and 'Salita' him, what with it being a homecoming fight and him needing to put on a show. A first round KO may not go down too well with the fans, especially after the whole Haye-Harrison debacle. This could work against him because McCloskey is no pushover ...
Part of me want McCloskey to win for the sole reason that I don't think Khan wants to fight Tim. I'd rather it be over now than deal with articles for months about how one fighter wants this and one fighter wants that and then end up with no fight anyways.
