    Prescott is one of the hardest punchers in boxing. No LightWeight could stand up to his power.

    Strong fighter, not a good boxer _ his chin hasn't been tested _ and he's not all that fast.

    His win over Khan wasn't anything special because Khan is very hittable and very amateurish with his techniqe

    Overrated power, still in development, better boxing skills that expected but need to be polished, busy, physically strong, very tall for a LW, I think he's below the championship material. He has defensive problems vs. orthodox biters on the inside. :lol:

    BTW Valero is not happy with Prescott and Breidis is having his own issues between his promoter Ahmet Öner and Frank Warren's claim on a rematch/+1 fight clause under Sports Network.

    I think he's too big for the weight class. He would be well served to move up a few and settle at a more comfortable weight. He started his career at 140 and was beating guys up there, why move down? At 5'11" and with his build he's too large to be 135 and be effective.

    Tall, Rangey and fights long, I like him, he can box a bit and I think he beats Valero from range, and if Valero gets in close Prescott will keep him on the end of the jab. It will be a shut out not a knockout. UD Win for Prescott

    This fight is going to look like a hot mess as both men fight like cavemen. Both can punch espcially Valero. Should be very entertaining while it lasts.

    Overrated. He did beat Khan but that was a lucky punch, Khan would UD him in a rematch. He also has average boxing skills, in his fight before Khan he got a split descisionw in over some bum.

    Overrated yes. Lucky no. Theres no "luck" in boxing. He meant to throw those punches. But his boxing skills are very average.

    Over-rated. He beat Amir Khan with a wild swing, which is about as difficult as punching through a thin pane of glass.
