It's not hate at all, its fact. I was defending prescott really in my reply to dunky.The grounding prescotts had, the up bringing makes me admire someone like him.To be brought over here as just another opponent and upset the apple cart in true devastating fashion is GREAT. Dunky was calling him a bum and what not....Thats hate...You gloss over basic facts in match making.Forget limmonds record, he was expected to lose and they nearly got that wrong.There either to small, light punchers or just not in khans league.When he got in with someone who was'nt intimidated and was big enough for him and could punch what happened ???

hate? HATE? Now WHY would I hate Prescott? Im a fan of scottish boxing & scottish fighters only nowadays, I still take an interest in world boxing but I dont really care who wins or loses anymore if they aint scottish. I couldnt emotionally give a **** about Khan or Prescott. I just gave an honest opinion. & my honest opinion is that Prescott is a bum who got lucky! There is no bias on my part, none at all. I have listened to all the pro & anti-Khan posts here, took it all in, doubted myself about Khans ability, fooled myself about Prescott. I reached my conclusion though, & thats that that Prescott is a bum who got lucky! Look at the fight again, turn the commentary down & watch it. Closely. Khan got cught cold. Look at Prescotts punches the whole time, they werent brutal, he was just swinging & hoping, & got lucky. There wasnt even any real bodyweight behind his finishing shots. Just swings. Sure he beatt Khan on the day, but hes no big punching monster. Trust me, he aint the real deal. Khan would slaughter him in a rematch. & thats my neutral opinion. Honestly, watch the fight with the commentary turned down, Prescott wasnt a big punching monster, he was a windmill kid who hit the jackpot. Sometimes **** happens, & it happened for Khan. he walked onto a shot early, got caught cold & didnt recover. Thats boxing sometimes. Look at Marquez v pac 1 for proof of how you can be caught cold in the 1st round. & look how different the fight was from the second onwards, once Marquez had 'warmed' to the punches. Lightning doesnt strike twice though that often, especially with Freddie Roach training you. So I dont expect Khan to be on the receiving end of a quick beating like that again for many years, if ever.
I dunno Dunky, I'm not saying he is a world beater but he looked pretty fast and accurate to me that night.
Id like to see that as well,would be very interesting.I cant see it though,has Prescott had a fight since Khan.The last i heard he had become a bit like tseveenpurev and was been avoided like the plague.
A fan of Scottish boxers and Scottish boxing only.That is just pathetic and i bet you are bored watching only the Scottish fighters cos there aint much to shout about is there.Nice to see Brook and Cook dish it out to the Scots recently.
This post proves you are biased mate.Can you give any credit to prescott at all ? He came out to make a statement, and he wrecked him, absolutely destroyed him. Khan looked like a boy against prescott and slightly scared imo. Pac v's marquez does'nt make a good comparison either.Marquez took them shots and knockdowns in the first and came back, khan simply did not.
Again I say eh?:huh How the ****, & I mean how the **** is it pathetic for me, a scotsman from Scotland to support scottish boxers??? Man, I watch boxing. love boxing. probably have watched more world boxing than you have had hot dinners. But nothing gets me going like a scottish boxer fighting, win lose or draw. Cos they are from my neck of the woods, I can relate with them. Im proud of my country, & proud when I see our fighters doing well. I love boxing, & love watching fights. However, I enjoy boxing the most when I watch fighters from my country doing well, man, Im struggling to even answer this post cos its so absurd. next you will be calling Chavez's mexican fans pathetic for filling out stadiums to watch him fight as they loved their fellow mexican hero, philipino Pac fans for loving Pac so much, & dare I say it, Ricky hattons massive english following for paying fortunes to cheer their boy on when he fights home or away... Im struggling to answer this post cos its so ****ed up to be honest, what next, people being pathetic for supporting their national football team at the next world cup??? Seriously... Im literally shaking my head from side to side in dismay as Im finishing this line. To put it bluntly, I love boxing in general, but Im a fan of scottish boxing, just like people love watching football in general but will be a fan of Manchester Utd for instance! is this so ****ing hard to understand for some of you people???? man, time for the hand slapping head in dismay smileyatsch
man, in one post I am told Im biased against anything scottish, & the next post I am biased towards Khan! You couldnt make it up in here sometimes personally I thought Marquez v Pac WAS a good example of a fighter being caught cold & struggling. It just so hppened JMM survived by the skin of his teeth. fine lines & all that. However, as you are nitpicking heres another example. Julio Diaz. Check it out, & tell me anyone who predicted that one. sometimes the formbook goes right out of the window in boxing. Im of the belief that for all Khans faults, 9 out of ten times he beats Prescott. I would back willie Limond to beat Prescott too if they fought, although the size difference would have been problem for Willie, but once he had weathered the early storm, Im sure he would pick Prescott off & record a victory. Why? Cos Prescott simply isnt very good! Do you think if he was that great he would have been a Khan opponent for his first PPV? Think about it:deal
gaz my good man, I aint seen the fight in ages, so Im going on memory here. I remember watching the many replays though, & being totally underwhelmed by the punches that floored Khan, & finished him off. IMO Khan just ran out trying to please his fans, got caught early & never recovered. & the punches that finished him off werent spectacular, Im 100% sure the Prescott character just hit the lottery that night, it was a one-off. if they fought another nine times, I would pick Khan every time. If you can find the fight, take a look at the finishing punches again, & tell me they were lethal. Just my opinion though, if anyone thinks the Prescott man was awesome & put Khan to the sword like a viper taking out a rabbit or whatever a viper kills, then so be it. Im just asking people to take a closer look at the finishing punches.
