Jorge Paez Jr. vs. Breidis Prescott (replacing Erik Morales)

Yeah, and Sabillo vs. F-Rod in chief support could be just as fun if not more. :thumbsup

 

Prescott is out; Vivian Harris in. atsch

 

What a rollercoaster Paez has been on.

First he is asked to be the final ever combatant to lace them up against the faded legend, whom most likely he idolized as much as his own dad; lots of unimaginable pressure, as if you lose to Morales by underestimating or going lightly on him you are embarrassingly set back just as your own career is picking up speed...but if you go all out and thrash him so far past his prime you will be reviled by your mutual fan base in Mexico - then he must switch gears and prepare for a winnable but highly dangerous competitive match-up with Prescott - and now he is headlining a televised card in a brutal mismatch in his favor which might yield him even less credit than beating Morales would have. (actually, forget might...it definitely would. Harris despite recently upsetting a regional prospect in Danny O'Connor is still 5x more shot than Morales)

:-(

 

Still no word on wtf happened with Prescott...

Boxrec still listed him until a week ago scheduled to face Jose Perea in a tuneup last Friday. (which obviously wouldn't have made sense with him facing Paez this Saturday...)

That seems to have not taken place.

No detailed info on Twitter or anywhere else.
