Khan needs to face his demons by trying to avenge his loss to Prescott
December 29th, 2010
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s been two years now since Amir Khan was blasted apart by the hard hitting Colombian Breidis Prescott in one brutal round in 2008. Prescott beat Khan like an old shoe. It wasn’t even a fight for more than a few seconds before Prescott had Khan on spaghetti legs after hitting him with a hard jab to the head. It wasn’t much of a punch but it didn’t needed to be, because Khan’s chin failed him. Prescott then quickly dispatched Khan with some tremendous hooks to the head that left Khan flat on his back on the canvas counting stars.
This reminds me of one of Aesop’s fables The Fox and the grapes. The Fox after attempting to reach the tasty looking grapes high up on the vine gives up and then expresses disdain for them, saying ‘Oh, you aren’t even ripe yet! I don’t need any sour grapes.’ What Khan is doing by not fighting Prescott and yet still saying it’s not worth because he would easily beat him anyway seems to me to be the classic case of the the Fox who couldn’t get the grapes, and then questioned their taste. I think Khan needs to face up to Prescott and whether he gets blasted out by him again at least he will have faced his fear. He can’t let the Prescott defeat haunt him for the remainder of his career. He’s got to man up and fight the guy. I expect Khan to stay away from Prescott for the remainder of his career at all costs and focus on fighting more light punchers to keep from getting knocked out. It probably won’t matter. He’s going to get knocked out sooner or later, so he might as well face Prescott now and have it done with.

Khan is terrified to face Prescott again.
Prescott flattened his ass!
WHY???? what for? are you one of those guys who never got over their pacifier? after all tjose years you want to use them again? hahahahaha… i guess you are!
i as a boxing fan dont want see perscot v khan i want see khan fight ortiz
prescott rematch, come on khan its what the fans want. but having said that he’s just made the fans happy fighting maidana so i guess we’ll be watching more boring predictable match ups from team khan for the next ten years. this is why khan isnt exciting because he doenst have much in the way of guts.
you know that was a very very hard fight for him to get into the ring with maidana, he didnt want to do it.
GILFOID DURH!
Khan took heavier, cleaner punches all night against Maidana… who was the one who actually touched the canvas!
So why would he take one almighty step back to face Prescott? When he beat someone who is more skilled, and heavier handed them him already?
Face it Scott, the Brits have some serious boxers now… I don’t know why I even comment on your articles because you’re a f***ing fool.
it would make sense in a rematch if prescott had progressed further but the fact is he didnt losing most if not every fight since the point is this guy does not deserve a rematch.
Gilfoid you are the funniest man alive. That was written for comedy write?
KHAN, HES STILL YOUNG, HE HAS TO PROVE HIMSELF DAT HIS THE BEST….. BUT WITH A WEAK CHIN THAT WOULD BE A BIG PROBLEM FOR HIM…….HE MUST FIGHT ELITE FIGHTERS LIKE JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ… TO TEST AGAIN HIS ENDURANCE AND CHIN……
I know this’ll sound crazy, but Scott’s articles voice legitimate opinion over Khan-Prescott II. It looks to the casual boxing fan that Khan won’t give the boxing public what they deserve in a rematch to the only guy he lost against. Surely this won’t give Khan as much money as Bradley, but you can’t put a price on revenge.
One punch can change s fight which it did? Khan got caught clean I’d say he s still not the beat complete boxer out there but he’s good comparing to what we have now days Prescott just has power nothing else I don’t see khan knocking Prescott out if they have a rematch khan would beat him on a decision but still risky fight but that goes to why fighter who goes in to a ring with a guy who can bang
No he doesn’t … stop talking nonsense !
To riskey for khan
I think there was just too much glitters in Khan’s shorts that day. How can someone fight like that? I’m surprised he was not knocked unconscious.
Prescott is only looking for a nice payday…he does not DESERVE a rematch…Khan will KO him this time definately!!!
what a waste of a fight, no one wants to see it, prescott is not proven, he never boxed khan that night he just got lucky
Yes, I agree that Khan should have a rematch with Prescott.
It would be a non-title fight, so his title wouldn’t be at risk and a biggest ever pay day for Prescott.
I predict that Khan would beat Prescott easily if they meet again.
I see Pacquiao hasn’t avenged his 1996 loss against Rustico Torrecampo. He best give him a rematch too.
GILFOID IS A JOKE. FOR CHRIST’S SAKE GET RID OF THIS RETARD
kevin mitchell set the blueprint for beating prescott
change the record
prescott is looking 4 a payday nothing more
hw do u no its haunting him ur stupid and theres no reason of fighting someone who aint even ranked
