Not seen enough to make an accurate call, but rather than sit on the fence my gut instinct says no Against a well schooled operator he'll struggle.
Obviously 54 seconds is too short a duration to be able to tell You don't even know whether he has a puncher's chance because he has just KO'd the guy with probably the weakest chin P4P of any Ring rated fighter I would reckon that a smart operator would simply box around him and frustrate - he was taken to a split decision by some no-mark in a previous fight
in all likelihood, no. That's just being realistic. All he did was spark out a at best glass chinned Euro level fighter
I agree. Taking a strict form line, i.e. tough fights with Limond and Gomez, then factoring his youth, Khan is a top-end British fighter IMO. So KO'ing Khan does not put Prescott up with the Diaz, Pacquaio and Guzman types, not by a long chalk. And judging from the rather crude punches he threw he's no world class operator either. I've made a comparison with Maussa before but even that's going OTT, Maussa won a belt fair and square.
I thought the one-two combo that knocked Khan down initially was sweetly executed. Khan left himself wide open but the punches Prescott threw landed accurately and with power. He already had Khan in trouble at that point so it is not any indication of how he would fair against a top operator but give the guy credit, a 50 second demolition is still impressive.
