is prescot the lightweight Ponce De Leon?

He's the revival of Edison Miranda...

 

We will have to see

 

He looked good as far as you can tell from this short fight. We will have to wait till he fights someone good

 

No. He's nowhere near as proven. The similarities begin and end with their punching power and 1st round destruction of a touted prospect. I think a top lightweight fighter's going to beat him badly well before he wins a title and show that Khan was beaten by a B class fighter at best.

 

How can you guys tell in 50 seconds?

 

Good point. But Prescot wasn't just swinging and hoping in a crude fashion, that first left was a quality punch.

 

We can't judge by him beating up this bum,ups sorry this future world champ.Thank you Frank Warren

 

No idea. Learnt absolutely nothing tonight. We can't even come to the conclusion he's a huge puncher, as it would suggest, since we know Khan has the worst chin in boxing. He was taken the distance in his last fight, against his first reasonable opponent.

All we learnt is we can finally stick a fork in Khan, and we can watch Prescott with interest.

 

The worrying thing is will Khan ever be able to take a shot? Prescott looked sensational at what he did but we didn't learn an awful lot. But holy **** what a ko. Khan came out too fast looking for a ruck. This might be the wake up call he needed.

He's got the abilities to be at world level but his chin now looks like it will never be.

I'll be following Prescott's career with interest now. Hopefully not a one-trick pony, for Khan's sake.

 

No, he's more like a slower Juan Urango.

 

So I think you can really draw a line to Edison Miranda...both from Baranquilla, Colombia; both beat overmatched cabdrivers in their respective first fights before coming to the US; Both beat well-known British contenders...by KO... :yep

 

His hand speed actually wasn't slow at all.

 

Prescott looked like **** on ESPN2 against an opponent who wouldn't stand in front of him and gave him some movement. I expect the top cats at 135 to outbox him with relative ease. But anyone who stands and trades with him could be playing with fire.

 

Yeah that's how I feel about him too.
