Why Team Khan and the Broadcasters are not keen on Breidis Prescott

I don't think the Mitchell fight is a good enough reason not to do Khan-Prescott II - barely anybody watched that ppv outside of boxing diehards who whilst they'll ***** and moan will simply lump it come fight time.

Now the point that Sky don't want to do another dodgy/fraudlent main event after the Haye-Harrison fiasco is a good one and makes a lot of sense. Having threw away a lot of good will with casual fans they won't want to be accused of doing that again. But to me that can be worked around with building a decent undercard - something they should have done with Haye-Harrison but for whatever reason didn't. Unfortunately Khan is highly unlikely to allow money to be spent on bringing in outside talent so the ppv is going to live or die on its main event.

But to be honest I'm not sure what fight Khan can bring on April 16th that is any better.

 

Some sound points and reasoning. Unfortunately I wouldn't expect the illogical dickheads that keep making the same posts about how great the Prescott fight is to take any notice. They'll go on about how Khan can get revenge, beat everyone he's ever faced, how he's not got redemption yadda yadda yadda...snooze.

 

Far too much logical reasoning in that post for my liking.

 

I don't think Khans fight with Maidana showed us he can deal with being hit. He got hit and hurt and survived because of bias refereeing. I am not being a Khan hater but a normal ref in there and Khan would have been stopped in the 10th round as Cortez kept breaking the action and MM was never allowed to work

 

If a Ref stopped that fight, it would be because they don't know how to ref.

Go re-watch the 10th. Khan was 99% aware of what was going on in that round. His eyes were there. He was smiling at Maidana, firing back towards the end, dodging a right. He was most definitely still in there. If he was done, how'd he pull it out for the next two?

If you believe that should have been stopped, then maybe you've been watching too many Brit ref stoppages where they panic.

Joe Cortez was smart and experienced.

 

From last night (and I thought Khan came across very well) Kats seemed to be a real possibility.

 

If Sky don't have the people who can sell Khan v Prescott II, they need a major clear out. It's not as though Prescott has been getting KO'd by journeymen. No disgrace losing a SD to Vasquez and the Mitchell loss could be explained by doing what Khan did and blame the weight.
It will do better business than Murray as the Khan haters will lap it up.

 

i never said he should of stopped it.

i am saying he shouldnt have been jumping in and stopping it when Khan turned his back or in a clinch when Maidana is still able to throw punches. which he did 20+ times throughout the fight most notably in the 10th round.

 

I think Prescott is a more difficult fight for Khan than any of the other fighters mentioned bar Ortiz and Katsidis. anyone with a big punch can beat Khan and Prescott has that.

 

Of course Cortez has to step in when Khan turned his back. The issue is whether he should have given warnings or deducted points from Khan.

 

I agree with Laz.
Khan was moving, spoiling and I don't think at anytime you could say he was totally defenseless.

 

i never said it should have been stopped. cortez kept jumping in when he shouldnt have done. it was BS.

He was on ***** street after taking a grazing shot in the 10th when Maidana, all be it a huge puncher, was completely ****ed.

If Khan gets hit early when hes not warmed up like the Prescott fight its curtains. If Khan gets hit by a guy whos not completley ****ed the will finish him.

The Maidana fight shows that he has become a smarter fighter but it didn't prove he can take a punch better because he cant and the 10th shows that.
