McCloskey v Prescott confirmed

[the niggest]

If Mcwhatshisname couldn't beat Khan what makes him think he can beat Khan's dad?

idk because triangle theories don't work maybe?

[gingeralbino]

Yeah that's how I feel about it, my heart says Carl to win (and a great win it would be) but my head says he'll get KO'ed.

I was thinking they were just using Kiko's name to get a bit of extra press but Barry McGuigan seems to think Carl is better than he is so he may well put him in with him. We'll find out soon enough

War Prescott !! , hope he wins it en route to a second KO over Khan , hehe

This is a good fight but how long does it give each fighter to train? 6-7 weeks?

[Evil Abed]

I got Prescott by UD.

I got Prescott by UD.

I doubt he will get a decision in belfast if its remotely close, only way he gets a decision is if he puts mccloskey on his back 2/3 times in the fight.

McCloskey has known he'd be getting an eliminator on that date for about a month or so (Frampton has also been given that date a while back as well).
Not sure when Prescott found out about it but he'd have known within the last week which gives him about 7-8 weeks to train which is plenty of time

This is exactly what prescott need to do to position himself at another shot at Khan..

[KillerRightHook]

Pumped up for this, I want Prescott to win plainly because I want a rematch with Khan and not having McCloskey having to fight Khan again.

War Prescott !!!!!!!

Belfast isnt bad for decisions imo, Lindsay lost the British FW title to Simpson (who has been robbed mroe times than Glen Johsnon). He clearly lost, but it was competitive, and the score cards were about right. Lindsay was beign hyped up a bit at the time over here as someone who might be able to move onto world level.

I dont think Paul will need a home town decision anyway, i reckon he beats Prescott fairlly easily. (although Ive only seen 1 of his 3 fights since Mitchell so I might change my opinion once i watch the other 2)
