    Do you feel that Prescott was exposed or can he rebound from his defeat?

    Prescott's looked bad in 3 of his last 4 fights. He has no inside skills, can't adjust, and doesn't know how to throw short punches. He'll need MAJOR improvements if he's to make an impact at LW.

    Funeka's a better fighter Imo.

    According to Boxrec, one of his nicknames is "The Khanqueror" - an indication of his lack of ambition, and will probably remain his greatest victory.

    Prescott just fought against the wrong style of fighter, give him someone that he can land those big punches on and he'll do well, but the elite of boxing doesn't work that way. He's probably the LW version of Edison Miranda.

    Every fight I've seen Prescott in since he blasted Khan was boring. He looked slow, fought sloppy, and hasn't shown any of the power his record would indicate he has. Last night he looked particularly bad in a fight that made him look extremely limited in terms of skill.

    Looks like Prescott is the Lightweight version of Hasim Rahman. :thumbsup

    Bingo! I was trying to figure out who he reminded me, Edison Miranda that's it.

    He hardly caught him at all!
    His wild swings missed by miles.
