[Howlin Mad Missy]

Edwin Valero, THE RING's No. 3-rated lightweight, is close to completing a deal to face Breidis Prescott on July 25 in Mexico, promoter Bob Arum said.

The fight will take place in either Cancun or Toluca,which is near Mexico City, he said.

Valero (25-0, 25 knockouts) is coming off a sensational knockout of Antonio Pitalua to win the vacant WBC lightweight title on April 4 in Austin.

Prescott (21-0, 18 KOs) burst onto the international scene when he knocked out then-unbeaten Amir Khan in one round in September. On Feb. 20, he won by disqualification when Humberto Toledo bit him on the shoulder.

Valero and Prescott are a combined 46-0, with 43 knockouts.

Thats a great fight right there. Somebody's getting brutally knocked out, I'm learning towards Valero.
