  • @SeanOBriain! That's the most intelligent post I've heard on this topic.

  • Learn this shit!

    Beating Jason Davis, Harrison Cuello and Bayan Jargal are hardly worth noting or remembering. 4 losses to guys who he should of walked through.

    McCloskey put up a good fight but did not deserve the decision!

  • DMullan22! If you actually watched the fight you would know how McCloskey was gifted the fight and got battered in that fight. You would also know that Prescott is over-rated and fought McCloskey off a losing streak!

    Better try next time twat! I still don't know or care for who the fuck he is!

  • @emraldstar! C'mon man be serious! Khan fought like a chump on that night but yet he still made McCloskey look bad. He lost get over it! I'm sure another Irish boxer will come along so you can support the next one!

  • @SinghDynamite There's no shame in losing to Khan. He's a cracking boxer. Still would have liked to see the fight go into the later rounds, as Paul tends to get stronger as the fight moves on. Don't know why everyone is getting emotional in these comments. We're all boxing fans!

  • he needs a good coaching on defence.Khan will eat him in less than 6 round.

  • Back to say I told you so! Boring fight ended on a cut but McCloskey was a completely out of his league!

  • As for European status! That holds no weight on the world stage. Remember Audley Harrison? He was also a European Champion but fell short against a mediocre Taxi driver! The world stage is adifferent ball game!

  • @ legion860! He's also 31! Which by boxing standards is being close to the end of his career! This fight will be like Paulie Mallinagi but back to front as he's a southpaw! Total humiliation! Slick style will be totally ineffective against a fast rangy straight puncher!

  • from what i see here,mcloskey fights like a slower, and much shitter version of paulie malignaggi. Amir King Khan is gona put this fool to sleep in 3-4 rds.

  • Comment removed

  • no disrespect to paul but unless he comes up with something special it looks like another salita fight to me a load of hype for fuck all ... i wish paul the best of luck but khan aint the fighter he used to be he is much more clever now but i would love to see it turn out to be a great fight lets hope it is and not some 30 second hyped up bout!

  • You people need to realise that you neither have to box or need to posses an encyclopaedic knowledge of boxing rankings to recognise talent in the sport of boxing! You just need two eyes and an unbiased observation when watching a boxing match!

  • WATCHING THIS MCLOSKEY BEST BE TRAINING HARD THE PACE IS GONNA BE TO MUCH FOR HIM I RECKON AGAINST AMIR

  • Paul mccloskey is my Teachers brother his name is Mac Mc

    Closkey

  • Huthut91! You must also be blind because you missed the one at 1.38 when he looked like a child!

  • @huthut91! You will see how many flush straits he will take when he faces Khan! Just remember to watch them in slow motion!

  • Lol! another Irish fanboy!

  • @SinghDynamite A "big follower of boxing" who hasn't heard of the European champion whose ranked top 5 in the world by both WBA and WBC? Seriously, if u've never heard of him then how can u expect anyone to take ur opinion of him seriously? How can u even have an opinion of him in the first place? I'm guessing its based on youtube videos like this one, which is 4 years old, he's won + defended both the British and European titles since this, a world titles the next step.

  • It's funny how the only guys attacking my prediction or evaluation of McCloskey seem to be Irish! I'm not Irish neither am I Muslim, I'm just a boxing fan breaking down two fighters attributes before they fight! And I will be back to tell you I told you so!

  • im not a fan of amir khan or this guy, but watching both styles, amir khan will TKO him in the 4th round, if not the 1st. The guy with the speed will win, and thats amir khan.

  • And as for Sugar Rays post! He has made a fantastic argument in favour of McCloskeys argument. But I feel it does not apply in this case because he is facing Amir Khan not the guy in this video. McCloskeys style will not favour him in the fight against Khan. Total mismatch for McCloskey and calculated picking by Khans team!

  • Boxing is absolute science! McCloskey cannot fight his fight effectively against Khan because he is slow within his weight division where as Khan is lightening quick with his hands! In order for khan to lose his opponents reaction speed will have to be better along with his footwork! He will need to have higher punch output together with hand speed and accuracy to win the fight! I don't think you can achieve that in one training camp!

  • @enraldislestar! If read my comment it ended by saying that you can only time punches at the lower weighs effectively by having greater reaction speed of that of your opponent! The same principle applies at all weights but even more so at the lower weights because the fights are generally much faster paced! Get what it's easier to time punches at the heavier weights because the fight pace is slower!

  • Very much like mayweathers pot-shot style. Obviously nowhere near the speed, but very similar style

  • @abbyshek! You are wrong in your assessment of me being a Khan fan, I'm far from it! As for McCloskey nobody in U.K. knows who he is! Kell Brook has a higher profile than McCloskey not many casual U.K. Boxing fans know who he is! As for foreseeing the fight you don't have to be genius to work out how it will play out!

  • And as for timing trumps speed! I agree but you can only time punches at the lower weights if you greater speed than Amir in this case. No disrespect I'm just analysing!

  • @both of you guys! James Toney's style is only affective at the higher weights because it's a style that uses elusiveness and well timed punches (the slick style). You can get away with that style because your opponents are generally slower. At the lighter weights it's all about hand speed and punch output and that style is totally in-affective!

  • khan is big hyope much like fenando vargas was and ricky hatton..hes good yes but not good enough for world class champions..he will make his money and probally win a title or 2 but khan is way overrated especially after getting beat up his last fight and almost beat

  • youve never beaten the irish to you have beaten them.. c'mon mc closkey!!

  • AMIR IS A DIFFERENT CLASS. KHAN IS NEW ERA, NEW STYLE, GREAT SPEED. u r talking about the guy who was massive and ruthless at the age of 17.

  • CANNOT SEE THIS GUY BEATING KHAN

  • @amzeedog  keep dreaming.

  • @Jerraha maidana aint a bum but he aint as good as the make him out to be who has maidana fought apart from khan the biggest name on hes rec is ortiz an as good as ortiz is he has no hart an thats a fact look what happen in his last fight had the guy beat an it just looked like he gave up :S

  • @ mirrelle I agree with you that Bradley could beat Khan but Alexander I don't think so because alexander has built his career on using his skills and fighting at distance! The fight would play out like the Kotelnik fight but Bradley could do it. Infact the only thing Bradley lacks is power if he had this he would be pound for pound number1 but his chin is second to none and his focus and work ethic is what gets him the win!

  • I'm trying to read between the lines and I just cant see this guy beat Khan on a good day. He doesn't look that sharp in this fight so even with a fitter quicker McCloskey I don't seen him dealing with the speed.

  • The secret to beating Khan is forget skills, forget elusive boxing, forget educated pressure! Just close the distance get your head in his chest and swing with bad intentions then hold and bully and repeat for the whole fight and at some point he will fall!

  • @SinghDynamite Have you beaten him?

  • @TheJasonXo The only guy who has shot at beating Khan is Bradley! No one can out speed, out skill or out reach Khan out of the young crop but Bradley has a style where he stays close to his opponents and spoils their style! Prescott closed the distance naturally and landed! If anyone goes into the fight without a plan against Khan and brings in a up close fight then Khans lost! Why because Khan can't fight inside!

  • Khan will be way too quick for this chap.

  • easy fight for khan

  • Continued... Rankings are what you read up on, talent is something you instantly recognise when you see and popularity amongst fans and the boxing public is what you eventually hear about! This guy has slipped the raider in all of those so I stand by my comment he's nothing special and unknown to even the boxing hardcore!

  • @ blacklekdragon Just look at how erratic those rankings are that you have just pointed out! None of the bodies can agree with each other on where he should rank! The most notable on his resume is the European belt which always lands you a world title shot but there have been many weak European champs that have never one a world title!

  • quick n easy win for khan, as long aas he doesn't get complacent

  • This guy, shows absolutely nothing that will upset Khan. He is flabby around the waste, and out of condition. Khan will beat him by Ko within 5!

  • @G18ALA i agree he has no defense when throwing he leaves his chin out and doesnt bring his right hand back quick enough khan will easily beat him

  • Argentian has no power. Against anyone who can hit McCloskey would be in a lot of trouble.

  • I hope he doesn't get kill when he faces Khan.

  • lol this is a joke i cant belive khans fighting this guy khan always fights bums its a joke khan will get this guy out in about 4 rounds its a joke

  • this guy beats pac with ease !!!

  • This guy has got no defence, no speed, no nothing on Khan! Khan has better sparring partners than this guy! Honestly I'm a big follower of boxing not just a casual fan and I've never heard of this guy now I've seen why!

  • @SinghDynamite mccloskey is ranked 10th by ring magizine,5th by the wba,4th by the wbc and 14th by the ibo.ranked 2nd in the uk and 9th in the world by boxrec.these are world rankings.mccloskey is the european light welterweight champ and former british champ and you say you've never heard of him.your obviously not the big follower of boxing that you think you are if you've never heard of him

  • @SinghDynamite i'm not gonna lie i'd never seen this guy fight until recently but I do think he is a decent enough boxer. I'm not saying he's floyd mayweather but he does seem to have some talent.

  • @SinghDynamite Now u know how Freddie R. choses oponents for his fighters... Khans quick jab will kill Paul. The same way Alexander or Bradley would kill Khan. Wasn't anout to fight the winner of them?? Wildcard gym ducking top ranked boxers again..

  • @SinghDynamite If you're a big follower of boxing then you'd see that he has pretty good defence. Good reflexes and difficult to hit with clean punches because of his boxing style. Fights similar to James Toney (Obviously not as good as James Toney) A fight against Khan is og course a big step up but that doesn't change the fact that Paul is a talented boxer with a good boxing eye and good technique. He's an awkward southpaw with a nice left hook so Khan better not underestimate him.

  • @SugarRayDi I couldn't have said it better... well said!

  • @SinghDynamite Amir Khan doesn't really have any defense and gets hit by uppercuts pretty often. This guy seems to have nice uppercuts. McCloskey doesn't have "Amir Khan" handspeed but he does seem to have good timing. Timing always trumps speed. This guys is also more calculated than Maidana was so he'll be a bit more difficult to fight. I've never heard of this guy before either, granted, I live in the States. But just because you've never heard of someone doesn't mean they aren't any good.

  • @SinghDynamite never heard of mccloskey! you are a typical khans fan, you only follow boxing because one of your own is a champ. every true follower's of boxing in the british isle knew who he is. he is euro champ and rank top ten in both wba and wbc rankings. the man is a contender!

    btw im asian aswell.

  • @SinghDynamite and thats exactly why Amir Khan is fighting him ! he wants a gauranteed KO on home turf eh ..

  • @SinghDynamite you know fuck all about boxing if you never heard of him before..after all he is european champion..your just a casual fan

  • @SinghDynamite im glad u said tht cause people will see ur comment when mccloskey wins

  • @SinghDynamite If you were such "a big follower of boxing", wouldn't you have heard about the European champion?...I know the British isles may be small but perhaps you should look towards Europe rather than just America!

  • @SinghDynamite LOL your a big fan of boxing and you havent heard of the European champion! LOL...idiot!...your another Asian Khan fanboy

    RIP Amir Khan!

  • @SinghDynamite

    I f'ing hate Amir Khan and think he's a bum, but this guy absolutely sucks.

  • @SinghDynamite No defence, eh? How many square flush shots does he take here? I'm 4:30 in and I haven't counted any yet..... You should maybe try watching some boxing for all this 'following' you're doing.

  • @SinghDynamite Khan's sparring partner is Manny Pacquiao lol, hardly a huge criticism of McCloskey. Let's be fair, if you've not hear of McCloskey, you're not a big follower of boxing, sorry. He's a very experienced domestic level fighter.

    However, I totally agree with you. Khan will trounce all over him.

  • @SinghDynamite he the European champion mate so is a worthy opponent.

  • @SinghDynamite McCloskey is the undefeated European champ and has held the belt for over a year and has headlined on sky sports boxing times allready so if you have never heard of him before then a casual fan is exactly what you are.

  • @SinghDynamite fuck u u silly cunt. heard of him yet??? dumbass, maidana's next. prescott who? u cunt. actually follow boxing and u will hear alot more of him.

  • khan will will knock him out or tko

  • khan would murder this guy he is so slow and open. no wonder he is holding off and asking for lots of money, he knows it will be his last fight.

  • Fair Play to Him, Paul is technically sound, he may Trouble Khan but I see a decision loss for him.

  • B class fighter...khan will put to sleep thisguy in less than 3 rounds...wanna bet?

  • see white fighter do like the prince naseem style its quite obvious this fighter looked up to naz...

  • @sf2explus haha i love when someone who doesnt know anything about boxing leaves stupid comments like yours.

  • Boy, so much for finding quality fighters for Khan. 

  • seems an easy fight for khan based on this clip - unless someone can recommend a clip where he is more impressive ...

  • Hmm... Interesting. Came here to watch one of his fights after he was named a possible contender for Amir Khan's next fight.

    He fights alot like Prince Naseem (only not as good, of course). He is wild, leaves himself open, and throws constant medium power shots.

    Khan is to tall and fast, If MccLoskey tried to have a jabbing contest he would lose badly, and he doesn't have enough power to knock Khan out - as proven by Maidana.

  • @ZePivotMaster  U MEAN BREIDIS PRESCOTT

  • is he top irish prospect?

  • good man paul do dungiven proud ;)

  • keep her lit paul your goin 2 the top no1 irish boxer
