McCloskey’s trainer says Khan is weak if he gets hit on the side of the head
February 11th, 2011
By William Mackay: John Breen, the trainer for unbeaten EBU light welterweight champion Paul McCloskey (22-0, 12 KO’s) doesn’t think that WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) has a weak chin, but he does think that Khan’s temple areas are weak. Breen has noticed that when Khan gets hit in the temple areas of his head, he sometimes gets badly hurt.
In an article at Irish-boxing.com, Breen said “I can see chinks in Amir’s style, things that will enable Paul McCloskey to take him apart. People are saying that Amir has proved he hasn’t got a glas chin. I agree with that. He hasn’t a glass chin, but his temples are not too solid. Anytime he has been put down he has been caught flush around the temples. The punches Paul McCloskey will throw are the ones that will cause Amir problems and if Paul catches him right, he can hurt and stop Amir.”
Breen has a point. Khan’s chin isn’t glass. It’s his temple that’s made of glass. But does the feather-fisted McCloskey have the power to shatter Khan’s glass temple? I don’t know that he does. Khan did such a great job of cherry picking in this fight that he really doesn’t have anything to worry about this fight because McCloskey probably can’t punch his way out of a wet paper bag.

“McCloskey probably can’t punch his way out of a wet paper bag.” Remember you said it Mackay!!!!!!!! u Waster and why use the word probably have you not seen him fight!!!!!!!
First Glass chin, now a glass temple. Will Khan’s glass temple be exposed in his next fight? Stay tuned to fight out on Mythbusters!
Under-estimate Paul McCloskey at your peril. He may be the underdog, but I fancy his changes. He can box, fight,punch and entertain. This is his chance and he is not going to miss the wall.
??
how awsome is this.
Mackay has been saying all this time that khan has a glass chin, and that he got caught on the chin and was all over the place against prescott and maidana, now someone, who knows something about boxing slightly, comes out and says that khan has weak temples instead of a weak chin, Mackay immediately agrees and says that its clear khan has a weak temple. The bloke will go with anything as long as its bad about khan. what a joke
The Truth how gross
How can you not get hurt by Maidana swinging away at your head. Maidana a fighter who has ko’d 90% of his opponents. I think Khan took the shots pretty well because Maidana would’ve ko’d mostly anyone with the same shots he hit Khan with.
easy fight…it’s all about the moeny
@fair but firm
Easy fight? Did you ever wear a gloves? You know nothing about boxing.
LOL Temple, Wish youd f**k off to a temple and try learning budda r summot coz u know Jack about boxing…
@Fair but firm
You are a first class PUDDING!
McCloskey might be slower than Khan but hes more illussive than khan that will be where the twist could be. Mcloskey throws punches from very strange angles, whose to say that McCloskey`s Prince style wont give Khan a Headache??
lol wtf a glass temple if khan had a weak temple he wud not hve stayed up after takin that vicious blow to the head. nobody in lightwelter hits harder than maidana.
Most fighters will be weak getting hut with a bit of power in the temple you tool! The temple is the balls of the head!
I love it how there building this fight up lol hahaha its so funny, Khan will win this fight when he wants to win it lol, if you know boxing he has a punches chance but he is not even in the same league as khan lol you ever pays for this fight, or goes live you practically going to watch Amir have a sparring session cause it will not be a fight lol i see the fight lasting 3 rounds if that
