Chances are slim McCloskey makes it to the 4th round against Prescott
August 24th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: In one of the bigger mismatches in recent years, knockout artist Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) is being handed a little snack in the form of Irish fighter Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) on September 10th. The winner of the fight takes on WBA light welterweight champion Marcos Maidana in a fight that will likely be shown on HBO. McCloskey, however, isn’t going to be the one that ends up facing Maidana.
No way is this fight going past four rounds. That’s not going to happen. This is going to be like a replay of Julian Jackson vs. Terry Norris where Prescott chases the rabbit-like McCloskey around the ring and catches him with a single shot that will knock him completely out. There isn’t going to be any competitiveness to this fight. It’s going to be McCloskey initially trying to fight, and quickly realizing the doesn’t have the chin to stand up to Prescott’s shots.
It’s like when you stick your hand in hot water and realize it’s too hot and you immediately pull your hand away from the heat. This is what McCloskey will do, except he won’t get a second chance to try that hot water again because Prescott will chase him down and blast him apart in front of McCloskey’s fellow countryman at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
It’s going to be a total slaughter. It’s too bad McCloskey doesn’t have his eyes wide enough to see what’s stacked up against him. I guess he’s been watching too many replays of Prescott’s fight against Kevin Mitchell from 2009 and thinks he can survive by running the way Mitchell did. That was the old Prescott. The new one would easily out-point Mitchell if he decided to run again and knock him out if he tried to fight.

Gilfoid is picking Prescott,
I guess i’ll be making few quid on McClosky then
but mccloskey looks so tough in the photo well built like a stick pale pasty milk white zero muscle tone terrible looking wimp.
I think it will be scarpy fight very similar to Mitchell vs.. Prescott – but I would love to see Prescott vs. Madina know that’s a fight everyone wats to see
You and William Mackay can have an “I told you so” party but I dont think so.
prescott will loose scott, mark my words u idiot
McCloskey actively sought this fight and kudos to him for wanting to test himself against Prescott who is no doubt a powerful puncher. Paul has balls for taking this fight and will show his heart, desire in and will do what he has to do to overcome Prescott. If your judgement is clouded by the Khan fight put that to one side as the strategy employed for that fight has been proven to be flawed. Paul will give a good account of himself and his skills and is very likely going to be the guy with his hand raised at the end of this one. Respect to Breidis Prescott for coming to Belfast for this one. Not too long to go and I’m looking forward to the fight!
Paul better never face Maidana..He is not more than a golden gloves fighter……..
