McCloskey will probably do well up to round 9, then completely crumble in the last 3, taking alot of punishment along the way...

I am not boxing expert, but it seemed strange to stop the fight due to what appeared to be a quite insigficant cut caused by an accidental clash of heads.

Maybe I am missing the point with my lack of knowledge.

What a joke to end it so early

Thank god I didnt pay for the ppv. Was considering at the last minute but once got a good stream thought better and glad i did.

Fight was stopped far too early and had to go to the end of the round at least. Couldnt quite see how deep it was from the coverage but it stopped bleeding very fast after the fight.

Was far from impressed by khan tonight and by far his worse performance since prescott. He was flicking at far to many shots tonight and far too quick to jump in with both his feet when throwing combinations. Apart from showing a quicker defence than I thought he had mcloskey was poor. He just didnt assert himself and I agreed with the judges. We'll never know what might have happened but Khan was very sloppy in his attack tonight but mclosky showed absolutley nothing in regards to offence.

Khan clearly wasnt motivated enough for this fight and it showed. He was blunt in the post fight interview about this also when he said a rematch wouldnt motivte him. I think Khan needs to get his house in order before he signs for his next fight. The guys managment (family basically) have shown clearly in the build up to the fight they are amateurs when it comes to doing business. The whole tv coverage despute ruined the build up to the fight and distracted attention from the actual fight. And on review of the actual event sky were toatally justified dropping it from ppv. Fair play on that front, shows they actually know a good undercard as opposed to khan managment.

In my opinion Khan at his best would beat Timothy Bradley within the distance. On tonights show, improvement needed.

Khan v Bradley will be an ugly fight, headbutts galore!

Berto v Ortiz sounds like a great fight.
