McCloskey will fall apart during first attack by Prescott – Prediction
August 28th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) has done a great job against domestic level opposition during his six-year pro career. You put McCloskey in with a domestic and or European level opponent, he wins nine times out of ten. But he’s stepping up with the big boys now at the world level where you have to have much better talent than what he’s been showing.
Prescott already whipped Khan to the extent that Khan doesn’t even want to try and avenge his 1st round knockout loss to Prescott. You know when someone has been really beaten when they don’t even want to try and redeem themselves. I respect McCloskey for taking this risky gamble in fighting Khan’s conqueror but I think his gamble is going to fail miserably when Prescott knocks him out.
McCloskey was soundly beaten by Khan, and instead of recognizing that it just wasn’t meant to be, McCloskey hurriedly trying to win his way back to a rematch with Khan. He asked him for a rematch, and Khan basically laughed at him, telling him to fight and beat all the guys that he’s beaten in the past and then he would fight him again. In other words, get lost.
McCloskey doesn’t have years to beat most of the soft opponents that Khan has padded his record with, and instead is going right after Khan’s superior Prescott.
It’s a plan that will fail no matter what. Even if McCloskey can win a hometown decision, which unfortunately is a possibility given that McCloskey is fighting at home, Khan still won’t fight him again. Khan wants Erik Morales and then Floyd Mayweather Jr. He’s not going to fight McCloskey again, especially because he made Khan look so bad.
But the reality is McCloskey is going to get knocked out by Prescott, so there won’t even be a need to start squawking for a Khan rematch. Prescott will take that possibility away by knocking McCloskey out cold. Think of Prescott as a angry hive full of stinging bees, and McCloskey is going to go out there on September 10th and kick that hive to show the world he’s got the talent to beat Prescott. What’s going to happen is predictable. Prescott is going to come out and blast McCloskey apart.

My mother was British and my dad was chinese,i hate Irish and mccloskey pasty white stick
I have a feeling this might turn out to be a cracker of a match. Neither fighter is world class but both will feel that winning this will lead to greater things (ie. bigger paydays).
It’s a classic boxer/puncher match up. Prescott has learned a few new skills since beating Khan but it still primarily a banger in my view. McCloskey will have to be very elusive to get the UD.
I wonder what will say if McCloskey wins?
And Silvercat! Grow up!
british soldiers populated this generation of Ireland anyway so Mccloskey must be british 100%.
Irish nothing is terrible what a joke. poor Irish never had a hero. in thousands of years.
Gilfraud you mug
flush mccloskey down the sewer of irish nothings which is a huge heap.
Prescott has been exposed as a bum by a Mexican journeyman.
if khan and prescot fought again khan would maul him in 6…..fact. what are you going to say if prescott gets knocked out gilfoid? why dont you just die.
how is prescott a “bigboy” when he couldnt beat mitchell and vasquez!! he is rubbish
Excellent article Scott
Paul, based on what i have seen of him is not a very skilled boxer, with not much power
I really don’t know who he could beat. In the Khan fight he looked really, really Bad
Poor Prescott, cursed by Gilfoid picking him to win.
If MccCloskey win I wonder what these will start saying about Prescott??!! I think the one with the huge gamble here is Prescott, if he loses he can pretty much kiss any chance of fighting Khan goodbye. Why would Khan want to fight a fighters that lost to fighter he dominated only months ago??!! “Yeah, Prescott beat khan like 5 years ago but its pretty clear now that that was a fluke” people would say
prescott by 4th rd KO
i hate scott gilford
mccloskey will destroy prescott
These two think if they fight each other the winner deserves another shot @ Khan LMAO
They are both bums
You said the same thing about degale v groves and got that wrong didnt you! Stop writing cr@p mate and lets see what happens on the night.
