    Im going to buy it for two reasons. The first is that fifteen quid is either here nor there. I can spend more than that on four drinks when ona night out which are equally as dissapointing and lasta helluva lot less. The second reason is so I can say "I saw it" when he finally falls. Im hoping Prescott is another Ricardo Torres, but I fear he could be more Fernando Torres.
    Tried live streaming, great aside form the jittery moments, broken sound and sitting in front of a tiny screen squinting to see the action.

    Live observations

    I like his lead right to the body.... No chance he'll land it on Khan.
    He's open to lead rights to the head because he's so immobile.
    The other kid boxed like Zelenoff
    He doesn't jab effectively at all.
    Lunges off balance.
    Does look heavy handed.
    No accuracy.
    Open to jab.
    Good a closing the ring down.

    I'm going to the MEN to watch it. It's annoyed me how the Harrison Rogan and Paul Smith Steve Bendall fights fell through, the packed card was one of the reasons I bought a ticket! A little dissapointed in Khan's opponment too. If Sky Sports made you believe what they wanted to you'd think that Frank has decided to pitch his prized boy in with an undefeated power punching Columbian who lives in a world class boxing gym, who is also bigger than Khan and a well known in America. In reality Frank wouldn't take a risk like that with one of his fighters unless it was for a World title. I don't mind them promoting a fighter, but another domestic opponment would have been fine. At least we could then rate how good the victory was afterwards rather than not really having a clue. Might wait a bit longer next time before getting a ticket (had to decide early on because it was for a birthday present)! If Prescott knocks Khan out then Frank Warren has been stupid, and stupid he is not. Khan is not getting knocked out by this guy. Bookies are gunna make a bomb. Wouldn't mind being wrong!

    Surely bookies wont make a bomb if Khan wins? How many will bet against him (aside me) ?

    You say "Khan is NOT getting knocked out by this guy" - If Limmond and (super featherweight) Gomez can have khan all over the show is it impossible that this guy could?

    Chances are he'll freeze like lawton did though.

    yeah, hopefully it will be explosive at least! Beer and live boxing woo! Makes me feel better now the fight is on PPV too, so I couldn't have watched it for free anyway!

    One of my friends who is a casual fan has bought into the Sky marketing and he is like "Khan's getting knocked out" Theres more mainstream fans than us on here.

    Edit: regarding Khan getting knocked out, nothing is impossible but it's very unlikely! I would **** myself laughing if he did though

    To be fair, Khan's fights are always entertaining and this one should be more so than most.

    I'm still not buying it though.

    If Gomez and Limmond can do what they did to him, and this guy can actually whack (which we dont really know) then he'll be down at least. Khan has never faced a puncher, let alone one at his own weight, yet he's been on ***** street more times than michael barrymore.

    Come on two jabs, deck him.

    I will not be paying to see it but I will be interested in the round by round and waiting patiently for Prescott to drop that hammer like punch onto Khans iron jaw just read how amazed people are of Amir Khan and his greatness.

    Why ???

    The guy can bang, Khan has poor punch resistance. It's not rocket science. If the guy comes with a bit of ambition he could make it hard for Khan.
