    I think this will be a good, short, explosive fight.

    Valero is too much too soon for BP.

    Valero is a top 10 fighter and BP is a prospect.

    I'll take Valero by knock out.

    That maybe true too.
    IMO this is a good match-up that reminds me of the Angulo vs Cintron match-up where one guy seems a big favorite but the other guy also has a vry good chance.
    I'm gonna go with the hype and say Vlero by KO but with his chin in the air like he boxes it wouldn't surprise me if Prescott gets him.

    Prescott is going to get KTFO but he's more deserving of a title fight than ****ing Khan! lol Khan's already ran out of the division!

    What's hilarious about the interest here is it has less to do with the fight and more to do with agendas. Khan fans get some much needed respect back if Prescott stops a more "dangerous" prospect in Valero. Pac and Marquez fans will pretend he never existed.

    These two guys are lighting rods right now, and a fight between them makes for great sh*t talking, regardless of whether or not the fight is any good.

    I'm surprised that they are throwing Prescot into a fight like this so early. Reminds me of Lacy-Calzaghe. I said Lacy was nowhere near ready, and was proven right. Prescot is not ready for a guy like Valero, but posters here think that he might be.

    NALLEGE, you're right bruh. It's a bold move and an odd choice by Presscott's handlers cuz I dont think he's ready for a killer like V-nom.. Lacy/Calzaghe is a fair comparison and i hope Presscott doesn't turn into another David Reid/Lacy... Props to him for taking the fight though.

    He is rady,he is 26 years old and is bigger physically than Valero.
    Stylistically he's be advantaged.He just needs to be better than usual to win.Plus he has to get his cherry poped sometime.

    I thought Khan wanted a Prescott rematch so badly? lol He's been scared out of the division but it shows Prescott's not a complete ***** like Khan just for the fact he's willing to face Valero. This is not a good fight for Prescott and I wish he'd been able to knockout Khan again but I give him credit if he fights Edwin even though he is far from ready.

    Yeah but he does not need to get decapitated and have all his momentum from the Khan fight derailed!

    Khan was tall, and right there to be hit. Prescot's last opponent bit him, and he was mad that Prescot kept holding him, and his opponent was getting to Prescot, and he wasn't good at all. Size means nothing against speed, and Valero has speed AND power... plus he is a southpaw. Prescot's only chance is to throw the big straight right hand because I see nothing else in his game that can off set Valero. I think Prescot needs 2-3 more fights to polish up before he fights any of the champs.

    Prescott should be fighting Escobedo, Antillon or some other top ten contender for Edwin's belt.
