    The writer thinks Prescott is a pressure fighter? Really?

    If he was a pressure fighter he wouldn't have lost that fight the other night. The man is a slugger plain and simple, he didn't 'pressure' Khan into anything.

    Khan still has a heck of alot of devloping to do. The win against Kotelnik while being superb was at the same time also not perfect. I am yet to re watch the fight on television yet so im only going based on what i saw from my MEN seat.

    He looked good when tucking his head down. Pressure fighters could well expose this by throwing uppercuts, something that Kotelnik didnt really seem to do that well.

    Khan's foot movement on the other hand looked excellent. He seemed to flow round the ring effortlessly. The major problem is his power though. Wether he can actually hurt fighters. Well if he can box like that and win decisions all the time, who cares?

    That's the point though, Prescott is not a pressure fighter but still managed to ko Khan, so how is he going to deal with pressure fighters when he can't even deal with a so called slugger? That's what the writer is getting at.

    Read the above^^^ it's one of Roach's priorities.

    Khan is probably the best British fighter we will ever have.
