    Bami clearly beat him twice and Paul is quite a few levels up from that.
    Lauri is a step up from Rasilla but I have a feeling that after a round or two he'll go into a shell when he's getting(badly) outclassed. I could see McCloskey stepping it up in the middle rounds and forcing a referee mercy stoppage or corner retirement.

    The undercard is quite interesting, Haughian vs McIntyre is a real 50/50 scrap between 2 good quality fighters. A crossroad fight as the young Haughian tries to establish himself as a contender and McIntyre tries to remain one.

    Andy Murray(#3 ranked Lightweight in Europe) is also on the bill in a 6 rounder and two of Ireland's most promising young fighters aswell, Super-Bantamweight Carl Frampton and Flyweight Jamie Conlon. But those young men show great promise to go past domestic level at least.

    Another good thing to see is that on the undercard we've two Irish fighters being matched with tough opposition(well that's only cause it's promoted by Matchroom, but still), with Joe Rea and Ciaran Healy probably going in as underdogs against unbeaten British opposition.

    Alexei Acosta is also on the bill according to boxrec, not sure if he actually is or not but if he is he's a good addition to the card aswell. He's not bad to watch and like Frampton and Conlon isn't a bad prospect at all.

    McCloskey's stagnation continues with a voluntary defence against Michele Di Rocco.
