He is very good McCloskey. He's definitely a class above domestic level. Whether he's truly World level, who knows? He's a clever fighter and is the kind of guy I could imagine causing an upset if he ever does get a shot at a World title. He'd probably get underestimated.

So is the M'Baye fight not happening at all now? Would have been a good name for McCloskey to get on his record as I'm pretty sure he'd have beaten him.

[Barryboy]

Apparently not, looks like he's fighting Giuseppe Lauri next, don't know where or when though.

Good fighter McCloskey. I think hes got a bright future ahead of him.

He lacks the power to truely become a Word Title fighter but I can see him challenging somewhere down the line.
