wow...uh ........ummm

paul barely threw any punches the whole fight

i know amir is fast, but paul is a champion is he not, shouldnt he know the

jab and activity can negate a faster fighter than getting off and winning

by activity alone??

What are the odds that Khan vs Bradley wont end in a headbutt, 40 to 1. With Bradleys head first combinations and Khans running forward off balance while punching I dont see no other outcome.

Double KO headbutt when Khan meets Bradley!

Khan's speed was too much for him. The way that fight was going McCloskey was looking at a lost by decision if he didn't get that cut.

By the sound of things they knew they weren't going to win a decision, so the plan was to drag it out and take it late..... but yep, good point.

I picked that was always going to be the problem for McCloskey.

Someone commented earlier about the way Paul adapted to Khan with his hands down, but if you watch some of his other fights he often relies on slipping punches like that. Amir's speed was always gonna give him nightmares.
