Maidana vs Presscott

Prescott is a fraud who made his name by ko'ing an immature Khan.
he is nothing as a boxer

 

Maidana has skills... he's actually really good at applying pressure and has a pretty ****ing nice 1-2 when he decides to use it. Prescott also has some skill... well for like 3 or 4 rounds before he gasses and throws arm punches anyway.

On topic though, Maidana stops him late in a fun fight, he's just WAY too much for a guy like Prescott, who fades late in about every ****ing fight.

 

**** off.


They may not be Pernell Whitaker, but both each have sets of technical ability and skills that each use to channel their natural talents in order to succeed and achieve what they had. People need to stop bashing fighters without the most aesthetically pleasing styles just because they're too ignorant to know that it takes more than a big punch to succeed and climb through the ranks.


That being said, Maidana KO around the 7th, unless Prescott improves dramatically.

 

No skill = 0. Numbers are not relative. He has a less refined technique than other fighters, but he has more skills than the average fighter. That's why he's hovering right below elite status at 140. If he were all heart and punching power, he would have been stopped long ago by some no-name, as many others have.

His timing with the right, his ability to get inside despite poorly developed head-movement, his ability to stalk and corner an opponent, his ability to counter over a vulnerable guard and land bombs between punches, his ability to open opportunities for shots by setting them up with others....these are rough and rugged but effective skills that he possesses, which most other fighters in professional boxing do not have. The same can be said for Prescott.

I get that he does not have an ATG skillset, and that his contemporaries have better form. That's not my issue. I'm simply tired of people polarizing fighters between having "NO skills" and "NO defense" and others being "technicians" when the game is much more complicated and beautiful than that, and fighters are much smarter than keyboard warriors give them credit for.

 

Alright, I'm sorry for my harsh response. Bad week for me. It's ESB; it does ugly things to a man's mind.

Thanks for being civil :good

 

What's with Prescott's power? It seems like a case of hype and Khan having glass.

 

I find it strange that Prescott has been unsuccessful since beating Khan. That was no lucky knockout. He won that fight with precision timing and punching. Looked very sharp. But, that is the only fight I have seen of his, so...:conf

 

More than 0 skills.

If it were Prescott vs. a clone of himself, it would be 0 skills. :yep

Maidana has actually made some great strides.

 

zero skills

threat started is an idiot

both have skills

 

IB you still hatin even though Prescott did much better against McCloskey than you expected?

 

me too..whoever his promoter is has done a sh*tty job of not capitalizing on the Khan victory.

 

mike alvarado the guy who prescott fights next will smash holes into prescott, alvarado is a much better fighter then ***** maidana.
as far as this fight is concerned i think prescott has improved his skills, but as soon as maidana starts piling the pressure i expect prescott to disintegrate he doesnt fight well at a pace, even though he deserved to win, mccloskey showed how bad prescotts stamina is and mccloskey was only landing with pitter patter punches.
