By Scott Gilfoid: I got a big laugh out of Amir Khan’s latest excuse for not fighting a rematch with Breidis Prescott, who knocked Khan out easily in one round a few years ago. Khan is now saying that Prescott has to beat all the fighters that Khan defeated in the past three years before [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) dreams of getting back in the ring with Amir Khan and stroking him out of there like he did three years ago in a 1st round knockout. Prescott made it looking taking candy from a baby beating Khan.

By John F. McKenna (McJack): The one man to defeat IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KO’s) in 2008, has been hurling barbs and baiting Khan ever since, in an effort to lure Amir back into the ring with him.

By Scott Gilfoid: Breidis Prescott (24-2, 12 KO’s) may be the much talented fighter but he’s going into hostile territory on September 10th against Ireland’s Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

By William Mackay: Former European Boxing Union (EBU) light welterweight champion Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) is smart enough to know that if he attempts to trade with Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) on September 10th then he’ll be in for a world of hurt against the bigger punching Colombian. Instead of taking a risk [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) has done a great job against domestic level opposition during his six-year pro career.

By Scott Gilfoid: Arguably the biggest puncher in light welterweight division Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) will be looking to add another scalp to his resume on September 10th against Ireland’s Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) in a WBA light welterweight title eliminator bout at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern, Ireland. I personally see [...]

By William Mackay: Ireland’s Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) badly wants to prove that he’s indeed a world class fighter, but the problem is he failed miserably recently when he was given a shot at showing his stuff against WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan last April.
