    who's your take now?

    do you think that history repeats itself or khan would revenge his ko defeat?:think

    i haven't watched the barrera khan fight yet. judging from khan's performance today, will he fare better against presscott now?

    Anyone who has KO power is going to trouble Khan, for all his skills he has a massive weakness.

    so i would go for Prescott first 4 rounds, Khan 5-12th rounds.

    There would be too much pressure for Khan in a rematch with this guy. Couldn't handle it. He would probably lose again.

    Exactly. Beating a washed up Barrera doesn't mean Khan's chin isn't Grade A China. In fact, Grade Triple A is probably more like it.

    Khan should stay well away from Prescott till Roach has moulded him they way he wants. That will take time. I could see this fight 2-3 years down the line but not right now, Roach has a lot of work to do.

    Khan wont fight Prescott anytime soon if Warren get his way...... Lets just hope that Sky keep putting pressure on Warren to deliver a PPV worth opponent...

    Its gonna be tricky for Warren now becuase he wont be able to sell a Khan PPV with Cook and Enzo to back him up seeing as they both lost....

    Exactly the same thing would happen again, I'd bet my mortgage on it. Barrera was a smaller guy who was moving up in weight, handicapped by that cut in the 1st and at best 50% of what he once was.

    Prescott holds all the aces in this one, and he'd KO Khan again inside a round.

    Khan beating Barrera was nothing but to get Khan looking good against an old over the hill fighter that is very known. This win all it did was put him back on the map for a title shot in his division. If his promoters are smart they would stay away from Prescott because style makes fights and Prescott style is all wrong for Khan.

    Okay, that makes since. You still can make it even with a weak chin. Work on your defence and master your offense. I have yet to see the kid fight, but with Roach in his corner, he may have a chance to progress into a champ someday.

    The question is what what would happen when Khan lands his shots on Prescott? He was bombed out last time before we knew the answer.
    If Prescott has a solid chin, then I can't see Khan being able to last the distance with him, although Prescott did look a bit flustered late on in his last fight.

    Having seen most of Khan's fights live, before he was with Freddie Roach he had zero defensive skill.

    In his last two fights he's had his hands a lot higher and has been less gung-ho. For example, he had Barrera on the ropes a couple of times tonight. Usually he'd go for the finish (and get KTFO by a Barrera counter punch) but he got outta there before Barrera could counter.

    I'd fancy Khan to win the Prescott rematch.

    Although it will never happen. Frank Warren would never allow it!

    It might happen if Roach calls for it. Khan is still learning and improving.

    Like the poster above stated, what would happen if Khan landed on BP.
