Breidis Prescott-Moved up to #13 from #110 on Boxrec

I just found this amusing. That would mean that Khan got KOed by a fighter that wasnt even ranked within the top 100 135 pounders.

Jesus, this kid just came out of nowhere.

He moved up 97 positions to number #13, which would mean that prior to the fight he was ranked at #110. Lordy Jesus, talk about a step up He is now right below Jose Armando Santa Cruz.

 

I thought it was a mistake when I saw it. Boxrec will list how many positions a fighter moves up after a fight, and for him it said 97, and I was like "what, that would mean he at. . .You've got to be kidding me"

If you look at his record though, it makes sense. In his previous fight he was taken the distance for 10 rounds by a Mister Richard Abril, who was 10-0-1, 5 KOs, and whose opponents sported a combined win loss record of an amazing of 59-72.

Im just amazed. Ive never anything like this in all the time Ive been watching the sport. Its like Rocky, except Apollo got knocked out in the first round. This kid had beaten NOBODY. There is not a single recognizable fighter on his resume. 9 of his fights were against fighters with negative records, who had not a single victory. His third fight prior to Khan his opponent was 4-5-3.

Boxing is an unbelievable sport. Prescott went from being a no name kid to one of the most well known fighters in the sport within a single minute.

 

he is ranked below Santa Cruz, not above him.

what is going to be interesting is to see how he does in his next fight. Lets say he gets blown out, outclassed. Khan is just going to look that much worse.
