Colombian slugger Breidis “The Khanqueror” Prescott (24-3, 19 KOs) can’t help but feel wronged by the controversial loss he suffered Saturday against Paul McCloskey (23-1, 12 KOs) in the Irishman’s backyard, the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

By Scott Gilfoid: It’s so sad that Paul McCloskey’s loyal and loving Irish and English fans can’t accept and come to terms with the fact that the better man didn’t win last night.

By Jose Simpson: When I knew Breidis Prescott vs. Paul McCloskey was on, I thought McCloskey would win. I thought he would be too slippery and quick for Prescott, but I was surprised by the boxing ability from Prescott.

By Anthony Starkson: Well, well, well. Looks like 99 percent of the low-life writers are wrong once again. Two of them predicted “a brutal knockout for Prescott” and couldn’t see it “going past two or three rounds”. One of them posted his scorecard through the whole fight, giving all of them to Prescott (hehe). Seriously, [...]

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 [...]

New York, NY – (9/9/2011) – It’s a busy weekend for DiBella Entertainment (DBE) fighters, as four members of the promotional outfit will be in action starting late this afternoon when “Khanqueror” Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19KO’s) takes on Ireland’s Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12KO’s) in an official World Boxing Association (WBA) light welterweight title eliminator.

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 William Mackay: Once light welterweight contender Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) has gotten Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) out of the way this Saturday night by destroying him, Prescott says he wants to fight WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KO’s) in December if Khan will take the fight.

By William Mackay: Breidis Prescott sat down recently and watched some of Paul McCloskey’s past fights, and came away with enough knowledge to know that McCloskey makes a ton of mistakes when he fights.

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 William Mackay: Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) has a pretty good idea why WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan is picking Paul McCloskey to beat him this Saturday night in their WBA light welterweight title eliminator bout in Belfast, Northern, Ireland.

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. Prescott will probably out-land the offensively deficient McCloskey by a 10 to 1 margin in this fight, [...]

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. You put McCloskey in with a domestic and or European level opponent, he wins nine times out of ten. But he’s stepping up with the big boys now at the world level where [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: The last thing that Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) wants is to have to chase Irish light welterweight all around the ring trying to get him to actually fight on September 10th in their WBA light welterweight title eliminator at the Odyssey Arena, in Belfast, Northern, Ireland.

By William Mackay: Colombian knockout artist Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) had some choice words to say about WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan, who Prescott destroyed in one round three years ago.

By Scott Gilfoid: I never thought I’d see Paul McCloskey’s (22-1, 12 KO’s) fans talking about an after party for his September 10th fight against Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s). That’s got to be one of the worst ideas I could ever think of. Can you imagine what a McCloskey after party is going to [...]

Poor, poor McCloskey, I almost feel sorry for the deluded guy. He so badly wants to win [...]
