    There is a difference how Maidanas punches land and how Prescotts land. There is also a difference how Maidana throws his shots, and how Prescott throws his shots.

    I was responding in my phone you idiot. It's power puncheS but somehow.... Forget about it.. If you can't see it for yourself how drained was Amir at 135 then clearly you're blinded by your hate which is really obvious. Amir was a friend of PAC and is trained by Roach. Two of the guys that your hero Floyd hated the most :hi::hi::hi:

    Bingo, Prescott can KO anyone if he lands the way he landed on khan, infact, getting KTFO by Prescott does not imply a glass jaw, because he can punch.

    Low right hand with his chin up. Textbook mistakes. The simplest things they teach when you learn to box are hands up and chin tucked in. He was also weight-drained. Guys his size often fight and often fight well at 135 pounds, but not everybody is a Paul Williams. You can't be totally well conditioned if you're draining your body to make weight.

    Now, Khan did well in the first few seconds of the fight, but as soon as Prescott landed, Amir tried to trade with him and got slammed with two more hard shots. Secondly, Khan doesn't seem to react well when he's hurt. (hasn't fixed this problem through evidence of the Maidana fight) He wasn't clinching, moving, or really applying any sort of intelligent defense.

    Prescott was a hard puncher and Khan had a glass chin at the time. Given the circumstances and Khan's actions during the fight, he was asking to get knocked out.

    well, i really don't buy the excuse that Khan was weight-drained, because he still had 2 more fights at LW, but he got KOed. and then has been looking pretty good against world-class competition, so there you go, it is what it is :cool:

    yes, he battled to make weight, had skinny chicken legs, didnt respect his opponent, was cocky and most importantly he didnt have roach in his corner

    His chin was up in the air, he didn't have his right glove high enough while he threw his left, he didn't take a knee when he should have after the initial bell ringing, he decided to exchange when he should have held after the first knockdown.

    I think he was just simply caught by a huge combination and he did not know what to do.... He gt caught and instead of clinching or using the ring, he sat down and exchanged punches with a clearly harder puncher...

    A lot of boxers who got used to beating their opponent by early KO, or simply by KO and not being hit back with a harder punch usually has has this problem lucky for Khan he was able to improve himself thru this loss..

    An example would be Ortiz, he was so used on beating up his opponent and when he ran thru Maidana, he could not Knock him out and Maidana was still throwing bombs at him.

    Zab Judah was once thought to be very good but when he ran through TZyu it was like everytime he goes in the ring it would only take one punch to wobble him..

    He was getting dropped and buzzed by Willie Limond, a guy with 8 KO's in 36 fights. It's not an excuse, his conditioning at 135 was terrible, Khan was basically a KO waiting to happen at that time.

    He wasn't doing nothing wrong for a good minute or so, but then he leaned in with an uppercut which was totally uncalled for, Prescrott wasn't moving towards him, he was just standing there and waiting. Khan just opened up for no apparent reason, should have been throwing a jab instead or luring Prescott in with movement.
    After he got tagged there's not much sense in blaming him - he was wobbled bad and wasn't thinking straight.
    When he got up from the knockdown he began to trade with his hands down and was knocked out. Now that's wrong.
