Confused yet? Let's break it down this way. Here's our live coverage today:
3pm EDT: Amir Khan v. Paul McCloskey (Live from the UK)
9:45pm EDT: Andre Berto v. Victor Ortiz (HBO)
sometime past 11pm EDT: Juan Manuel Lopez v. Orlando Salido (SHO)
Here's a bit from our preview of the fight:
I don't mean to sound insulting or dismissive when I say this, but this fight reminds me a lot more of Khan-Dmitriy Salita than it does Khan-Prescott or Khan-Maidana. At best, this fight might look like Khan-Malignaggi. McCloskey is not a special fighter, just a credible fighter. He's good, but is nowhere near Khan's class of talent. ... Khan fought like he had something to prove against Maidana, or to put it another way, Khan fought recklessly and at times a bit stupidly against Maidana. I don't think he's trying to prove anything against McCloskey. He's established now. He's coming to fight and to win, and to do so convincingly, I don't think he'll have to do anything more than use what God and Freddie Roach (not necessarily in that order) have given him. Pick: Amir Khan TKO-7
