Comments Thread For: Khan's McCloskey Win is Marred By Phoney Controversy

[reeflegend]

gold Boy Khan

I wasn't a fan of Khan, he's a great boxer. with tons of speed and as much power in a punch as my 8 year old niece. But i can't take anything away from him, he's a champ..and he's good....But to say anyone was impressed by his performance against a BUM. McCloskey was a BUM. Khan had combos all day, and prolly hurt Mcloskey less than the breeze that hit his cut when he left the arena.

This guy was like Jesus to some of you guys. You can still be a fan, but be realistic, he looked bad..Strang punches together lovely, but couldn't really hurt this kid.

P.s.- the herpes on his lip during the interviews were classic!!!

Couldnt agree more

One of the best articles ive read about this fight !

Khan was so dominant in this fight the ref probably made the right call as soft as people may think the cut was... McCloskey will realise he had a chance but his gameplan failed badly (whatever his gameplan was) ..

McCloskey was a bum a disgrace and nothing but a weak irish wimp with no build no muscle tone no punch. Just a clown not a boxer. McCloskey is nothing but an irish joke a weak wimp.

Matt Hatton and Mccloskey would be a good fight. Two terrible fighters pale pasty weak with no punch fighting it out with marshmellow punches like two little girls. Put both of these two wimps together in the ring and call it girls night out.

In boxing, sometimes you are adjudged to have lost even when you win, and Amir Khan (139lb) had one of those nights at the MEN Arena in Manchester on Saturday night when stopping Ireland's Paul McCloskey (139lb) on a TKO after an accidental clash of heads opened up a cut on the Dungiven man's brow in round six. Referee Luis Pabon called over the ring doctor to inspect the injury and the fight was officially waved off at 2:30 of the session.

Pabon ALWAYS STOPS FIGHTS QUICKLY. It's like his corned beef will go cold or something....

The authour thinks that not every fighter should be treated the same way.

Barrerras should ALWAYS get the benefit of the doubt.
McCloskeys should NEVER get the benefit of the doubt.

This is plain BS.

And how can he safely gauge what would happen in the last 6 rounds? Is the autthour some kind of voodoo magician see'er? In that case I wished I had listened to him before Douglas fought Tyson.

Stranger things than a complete turnaround by McCloskey has happened many times before. How about when a beaten, battered, blinded and bloodied Barkley KO's Tommy Hearns?

Great, non-biased article. One of the best I have read on the matter.

sounds like you read a lot on this particular matter

Great, non-biased article. One of the best I have read on the matter.

Not a nice article and not an unbias one either. The author fails to realise the old adage of boxing, that anything can happen; its the punch that you don't see that knocks you out. How can you say for a fact that McC could've, or could not have won that fight should the fight have gone on. If the corner of McC, had the chance to stop the trickle of blood - the cut was not a dangerous one. Even Morales, fighting Maidana was allowed to fight with only one functioning eye (the right one being totally shut). The ref and the ringside doctor never gave the chance for McC's corer that chance. And during the first 6rds. McC never touched the canvas did he? Well I think that is a big controversy and it should be looked at with more scrutiny by the sanctioning body. Also, Khan not giving McC a second chance, unlike Maidana manning up and on camera giving Morales a second fight whenever he wants, only speaks volumes about Khan's character. I don't care if Khan is ******, Pakastani, Black, White, Asian, Catholic or Protestant...he should've recognized that it was a F.UCKED CALL by the physician and the ref and gave McC a second chance. For F.UCK sake!!!

Stop

I don't care if it was Jesus out there. Mc******* Face didn't have a shot in god's green earth to Knock Khan out. He has the Muscle Definition of a Teenager Cut from the JV Football squad. My man was sagging at his weight..saggin...Ref did us all a favor.

[AllEyesOpen]

McCloskey looked like ****, and probably wouldn't have made much of a difference in the rest of the fight, but last time i checked it wasn't the ref's job to decide "hey, this fight sucks i'm gonna stop it the first chance i get".

Regardless, I'm glad this borefest was stopped anyways, but Khan looked less then impressive against a journeyman with no output.
