    Khan losing hurts a Bradley-Khan fight.

    But it would be pretty funny.

      TBH, I didn't view Ishida winning as an upset before the fight.


      The FRKO was surprising to me, but not that Ishida won.


      I thought Sparkedland was crap.


      I know Sparkedland was "supposed" to win, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought Ishida could give him issues.

        It often is, depending on the author. I've seen it in books for many years. Usually light reading, not serious tomes.

        I find that Americans do this all the time... sort of, changing the English language to a simpler, more phoenetic spelling. I was brought up the "old"way", and, in my time have taught foreigners to comprehend English better for writing reports. I always found it complicated to try to explain why "humour" was spelled in America and Canada as "humor", etc. I still have no better explanation.

            It's going to be nasty. McCloskey is going to be destroyed. He ain't elite.

              It's like, don't make me have to watch more of McCloskey, I feel that I've seen enough to know that he doesn't stand much of a chance, also he doesn't impress me.

                This post is completely and utterly wrong.

                Spelling "fight" as "fite", or "night" as "nite", has nothing to do with the differences in spelling of color or humor. "Fite" or "nite" is simply bad English, bordering on shameful. Even on twitter, using the word "fite" is really pathetic. And the word "fight" only has one more letter in it for godsake.

                And spelling "humour" is the original spelling, while Americans dropped the "u", however, both are accepted and considered proper English.

                Oh and McCloskey is garbage, he is going to get his ass kicked. McCloskey is a poor mans Malignaggi and we all know how Khan rocked Paulie.

                  It's going to be like Khan v Salita.

                  McCloskey will freeze when Khan lashes out that first jab and Paul doesn't see it coming, then combos will come out and before you know it the fight it over.

                    Can't claim to know much about McCloskey but I would think that's a little crazy. If Khan is as good as we all think he shouldn't lose to the Paul McCloskey's of the sport.
