McCloskey – Prescott: Another hometown decision or did the judges make the right choice?
By Dallan O’ Donnell: After a superb contest last night between Paul McCloskey and Breidis Prescott which was very close to call we are again left with the burning question of Hometown decision? Personally I think the judges made the RIGHT choice in picking McCloskey as he did more in the important rounds – the championship rounds.

By Scott Gilfoid: Showing what a class act he is, Colombian knockout artist Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) apologized ahead of time to the Irish boxing fans of Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) yesterday because he’s about to brutally knockout their hero McCloskey in front of a packed house at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Khan: Prescott & McCloskey have to beat all the guys I recently defeated before I’ll fight them again
By Scott Gilfoid: I got a big laugh out of Amir Khan’s latest excuse for not fighting a rematch with Breidis Prescott, who knocked Khan out easily in one round a few years ago. Khan is now saying that Prescott has to beat all the fighters that Khan defeated in the past three years before he’ll fight him again. Khan includes McCloskey with the same conditions.

Prescott: McCloskey fights to survive at this level instead of win
By William Mackay: Colombian Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) made some very astute observations about his opponent Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) in an interview at ringTV, where Prescott nailed it on the head when he said this about his fight against McCloskey on Saturday: “McCloskey is a very awkward fighter with a very ugly style. He’s not a big puncher. I feel that he is a runner who tries to use his head. But at the next level, he tries to survive instead of win.”
