Amir Khan won the 6 rounds versus Paul McCloskey Saturday night.
The fight was stopped when the McCloskey suffered a cut beside his left eye in an accidental clash of heads in a suitably unsatisfactory ending to an unsatisfactory week.
Freddie Roach, who trains both fighters, intriguingly floated the idea of a showdown at welterweight after Khan’s successful defense of his WBA crown against Paul McCloskey.
As excited as Khan would be to face Pacquiao, his focus is on facing WBC and WBO title holder Bradley, and July 23 has been set aside at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay.
Conflict of interest, no?
