Protecting Khan for his big fight???

Protecting him from what? McCloskey certainly wasn't going to do anything. He lost all 6 rounds and Khan would have stopped him before the tenth.

Few of you need to get a grip. Horrible way to end the fight but McCloskey had 6 rounds to look very ordinary.

Seems like Khan had the Bradley fight in his head throughout that fight. He was very cautious.

Khan was **** too, he couldn't knock the skin off a grape.

Disgrace of a decision. Bring him to Ireland and knock him out like Prescott did.

Have you ever watched boxing before??

Boxers use tactics, its clear McCloskey was saving a lot of his energy for the latter rounds YOU get a grip, who knows what way the fight would have turned out.

wicorthered · 16-04-2011 10:45PM

Thought Khan was poor. To celebrate like he just knocked McC out just shows how little class he has!!!

Hope Bradley knocks his head off!!!!

Mint Sauce · 16-04-2011 10:46PM

Thats not a cut.

:mad:

Are you psychic or something? No one knows how it would have ended, it certainly shouldnt have ended in the 6th round. McCloskey was robbed of a chance to go after Khan. He may have failed, but the man earned his shot.

raven136 · 16-04-2011 10:46PM

Khan outclassed him in every round.Terrible ending though but dont let that be the story.McCloskey lost every round and Khan was the better fighter.

Fancy him to beat Bradley too.

I don't follow boxing that much to be honest,

But it was easy for me to see McCloskey's tactic was to try and let Khan get tired (and to me he looked to be getting tired) , where he would have a better chance in the later rounds of getting a knock out or something - it was the only way he was going to win the fight.

Just seems a bit suspect to me, the doctor didn't even look that much at the cut? Looked like he came in with his mind made up, and stopped it.

I was expecting Khan to win the fight, and as you say before the tenth, I just feel, like many others, it was a poor decision to stop that fight,

Would hate to have paid for that anyways.

martineatworld · 16-04-2011 10:47PM

Rematch why?

So he's outclassed again?

hamhamwich · 16-04-2011 10:47PM

Dont think it should have been stopped but it looked like Khan was in control anyhow.

Its a big step up from European level for McCloskey but he did OK.

Pity doctor nick decided to stop it.

It's the milk man from father ted.

The point is McCloskey got his dream taken away from, anything could have happened in the last 6 rounds. It looked like Khan was tiring.

TKO for a clash of heads? Odd.

dlofnep · 16-04-2011 10:48PM

Just saw the cut there, it wasn't anywhere near bad! And it was on the side of the brow.. most of the blood would have just rolled down the nose. Referee's a wanker.

Cut or no cut, mcCloskey hadnt a chance in this fight. At least he can come out with his head held high instead of being stopped in a few rounds.

Maybe so, but he should have been given a chance. His corner should have been allowed to treet him. Looking at him now, you have to say 'what cut?'

I'll say it again, terrible way for the fight to be decided.

WHere did it look like Khan was tiring...the way he was still throwing speedy combinations and stuff?

Dempsey · 16-04-2011 10:50PM

Referee & Doctor made a balls of that

Khan getting lifted shoulder height after a TKO like that makes me want to see him loose and loose badly.

Johner · 16-04-2011 10:50PM

Khan talking absolute bollox here.

MagicMarker · 16-04-2011 10:51PM

Wow, Khan is an absolute tosser.

Copper_pipe · 16-04-2011 10:51PM

Khan is talking a load of ****

Sorry, not quite a TKO

It was an accidential clash of heads, the DOC came in, examined him, the ref stopped it and it went to the score cards.
