Khan vs Prescott II

[Fenster]

definitely

probably why he doesn't seem in a rush to take it.

I never buy the old 'am out of his league now so pointless' argument . When a guy has knocked you clean out in 54 seconds it's an insult.

All the great champions avenged defeats.

It is something I, personally, would want to finally put to bed.

He will be remembered for that defeat as much as he will be remembered for winning titles. It's a fact. When people think of Amir Khan, that 54 secs ko is what people first think of.

It will always be brought up, even for years to come - unless he takes a rematch, stops him quickly (which he would do within three rounds imo) and people could, with fair dues, say it was a fluke.

No they didn't. There's a huge list of "great" fighters with unavenged losses.

Lets start with - Hopkins, Tyson, Pac, Marquez, Duran.. it's endless.

Well they should've then...

... well yeah I make you right. Call themselves great.. pfft

If Khan survives the first 3 or 4 rounds he should win easily. He'll probably even stop Prescott.

But if Prescott rushes him right form the opening bell, Khan could be in trouble. He is a much better fighter than the one that was knocked out, but he still looks awkward and off balance under pressure. When a guy is winging haymakers at you, the last thing you want to do is be off balance.

Khan is much more talented than Prescott. But he needs to careful.

i agree, but what do you think another loss to Prescott would do to Khan's career?

IMO it could really take a blow, seeing how the first loss put a lot of questions in his head, a lot of doubt to the point that he changed his entire corner, i don't know if he'd bounce back and capitalize on his full potential

I don't know to be honest. On one hand i feel it would obviously damage it, but on the other hand i understand that he will most probably get ko'd again at some stage of his career. He is a ticket seller, and i don't think that change too much for him in England. I don't know how he would be seen across the pond.

I suppose he is still very young, so even if he did get ko'd again by Prescott, i do feel he could come back. I don't think the question marks over his chin are ever going to go away to be honest. Should mean he will always be in exciting fights though.

well i mean his chin is better than most gave him credit, as seen against Maidana, but it's nowhere close to being solid lol

If Maidana had any idea how to throw a straight punch, there is no doubt he would of stopped Con

i'm not disputing the fact that Maidana had the power to stop him, just the fact is he had him out on his feet and didn't capitalize on it and that Khan had at least the resilience to make it out of the round, albeit completely in la la land

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Khan's days are numbered. Khan would shell Prescott in a rematch but who really cares.

[Tam Seddon]

Khan should stop him, hes matured a lot since his loss. Prescott got lucky no doubt, if they cant agree for a fight with Murray then it's a keep busy fight for Khan and he will redeem his brutal KO loss, no harm in that.

Yes of course it was luck. Prescott wasn't really trying to hit him. He was just swinging his arms for the fuck of it. Con just happened to run into his fist.

Always amazes me how people can say one fighter got lucky when he knocks out another fighter. How the fuck is it luck? Isn't that why there swinging? To like, you know? Knock the muthafukka out?

[rjj tszyu]

I really hope Khan does fight Prescott before a unification with the winner of this weekends fight but it's whether or not he has got the demons out of his head. I think he is still a tad frightened of Prescott even though he has beaten better fighters since that shocking defeat!

[Spicoli]

He doesn't need Prescott and unless I've missed something what exactly has Prescott done since except be exposed as a one trick pony and over rated puncher These guys are going in two total and opposite directions and only scenario I can see him fighting a Prescott would be if he was starched again by someone. On rare occasion the best thing to happen to a hyped and pushed product is to get ceremoniously taken down a notch for all to see at a still very green stage.

I agree in this case, but a fighter can get lucky. Take Micahel Sprott's KO of Audley a few years back. Twas a sweet as fuck shot, but Sprott had his head down, was looking at his feet and swinging for the fuck of it. The fact it landed on Audley's temple was a complete stroke of luck, because no way was his aim to land on that spot.

HAHAHA! Nice one!

I think it might take longer but that Prescott would get to him again.

[Mark TKO]

lets not also forget that the stoppage was slighlty controversial and there are strong cases to agrue it was slightly premature with Khan able to continue.

rematch

True. Same can be said of the Hatton-Pacquiao fight. Hatton was robbed. FACT!

I am assuming this was posted tongue in cheek.

No way he was flopping around at nine, he got up but fell backwards. It was a legit stoppage. Did I just fall for it or you serious?

Khan did well to ever get up from that punch, seeing as it "could have dropped an elephant"
