Alex Arthur To Fight Nigel Wright On Khan Bill

I think there could be a upset on the cards with this one, Credit to Arthur for taking this fight its a big risk.

 

Unbeaten Dagenham star Kevin Mitchell takes part in an enticing 12-rounder with Colombian crusher Breidis Prescott as the chief support to Amir Khan’s defence of his WBA light-welterweight title against Dmitry Salita in Newcastle on December 5.
Mitchell takes on the man who beat the man: Khan, of course. A glorious amateur and unbeaten in 18 pro fights, Khan was crushed in under a minute by the tall Barranquilla threat, who came out and simply walked through Khan on his own Lancashire turf in Manchester last September, dropping the Bolton boy twice and hurting him with everything he landed - even a jab.
Fortunes have reversed since that unbelievbable night, with Prescott proving hard to match (understandably) and struggling for sharpness when he did get a couple of fights. He was actually outscored by Mexico’s Miguel Vazquez on a 10-round split decision in his last outing in the States, where Prescott is based, losing his unbeaten record into the bargain; Khan (naturally) went on to much greater things under new trainer Freddie Roach.
Now 21-1 [18], Prescott’s knockout ratio speaks for itself but he looks beatable if one can drag him past the early danger stages. The 26-year-old visitor has won 16 of his fights inside three rounds and struggled to outscore Cuba’s Richard Abril over 10 rounds just prior to smashing Khan, who really did fight a stupid fight against such an obvious puncher, rushing out at the first bell and immediately into Prescott’s whipping hooks and uppercuts (and that jab).
Khan picked himself up and started all over again.
Mitchell will not be so hasty to mix it with Prescott, although he looks to have a better chin than Khan’s. The former British and Commonwealth super-featherweight champion took on another rangy and dangerous Colombian, Walter Estrada, last year in Atlantic City and soaked up Estrada’s biggest punches in the early rounds before overwhelming him in the fifth. He then took time out to have a hand repaired and came back at lightweight earlier this year, where he has won two out of two, both by stoppage.
Mitchell, 29-0 (22), can also whack but possesses a great jab and plenty of grit and fire, and has also been training under Roach. The move up from super-featherweight to face the long-armed Prescott is a risky one but Mitchell, 25, has been threatening to explode on to the world scene for a couple of years and this gives him the opportunity in one of those cracking “don’t blink” affairs.

 

Khan may have to pull out of the fight! He will see Prescott again and have flashbacks of being fecked in under a minute Hopefully anyway

 

no real surprises but Sky Sports News just announced this bill will be on Sky Box Office

 

In a perfect world Khan should be fighting Prescott but boxing is boxing - horribly flawed.
