Kevin Mitchell vs Breidis Prescott

[Adamj1987]

anybody knw what prescott's chin is like??

fairly good but he can be stunned

just watched the prescott vs vasquez fight. prescott is terrible.how he got a split decision is beyond me i had vasquez 4 rounds up!!! his punches are telegraphed and easy to see coming. his stamina is poor aswell. he did knockdown vasuez with a jab tho he has a huge punch. mitchell tko 11

he's not a huge puncher either, he caught khan cold and fought some real bums if you look at his record. and now he's been billed as this big 1 punch KO artist which he isnt

[stujones]

Prescott is a puncher alright.

Miguel Vasquez, has lost 3 times, to Tim Bradley at Light Welterweight, and twice to a guy who is now 29-0, once on his debut and the 2nd time at 148lbs.

He swapped gyms and got his weight down, hence why he had won a few on the trot and then beat Prescott.

I'm going big on Prescott early.

Vazquez looks like a good prospect. He's only lost to Timothy Bradley (WBO champ), as you said, and Saul Alvarez, who is perhaps the best welterweight prospect in the World at only 19 years old!

But, bringing Prescott into the equation, Vazquez won a CLEAR decision against him. The scorecards were closer than they should have been.

* "A masterful fight for Vazquez... the right guy won." - Joe Tessitore on ESPN Friday Night Fights

Presott is a power puncher in the early rounds but he can be outboxed.

he looks a good little fighter vasque. nothing special tho. i liked his jab. to be fair bradley won virtually every round. but he is only 22.

[dazzler]

Both easy to hit. Prescott hits harder but mainly loops his punches. Prescott bigger. I'm going for Prescott. If Mitchell can survive the first few rounds and keep the fight on the inside he might be in with a chance, as long as he doesnt walk into a haymaker.

[Coffee Aroma]

I rate prescott. He's got decent power, everything else may seem average/mediocre...but i still think he's a dangerous fighter.
Concentration or something else mentally is what lets him down. Maybe a better trainer would help?

With persistance and experience, a title shot in a few years might happen.

Mitchell's got no problem on that score, he has the kind of courage and steely determination that took men "over the top" in WW1

Now lets hope between bursts of fire he keeps them gloves up, chin tucked in, and dodges the bullets and bombs


Good Luck Kev

I think Mitchell is really up against it here. I would love to see him defeat Prescott - it would really catapult him onto the
world scene and that would be brilliant for British Boxing.

[Goz]

No idea, cracking matchup. Will go for Prescott KO with a gun to my head.

[Kilburn]

Is it me or was Prescott towering over Mtichell during the weigh in?

[jamesmcdonnell]

I think prescott is horribly overrated based on his KO over Khan. He has formidable power, but he is a wide telegraphed puncher, and a poor boxer.

I think he's going to get done here, and possibly stopped late, as he seems to fade down the stretch.

[crusader]

Prescott walking to the ring now

[crusader]

This fight is a bad idea for Mitchell.

We will see shortly

[Exoddus]

Someone do a round by round please?

[whicker]

I reckon Prescott's power is over rated.

[tonyevs]

very funny how they put sound effects to Mitchels punches in the intro

still, i'm not sure mitchell will be able to take his shots. not unless he has improved going up in weight (he may have been weak at 130) and settled down technically/mentally.

then again, prescott was going to move up in weight, and now he's a lightweight again. perhaps prescott will be weak at the weight, and mitchell might be strong moving up.

[tonyevs]

Prescott looks in great shape ...

[Exoddus]

I put my rustlers burger in the microwave when the fight happened. The fight was over before it was cooked!

[tonyevs]

prescott chasing .. not much in it

[Asterix]

This fight is a bad idea for Mitchell.

Why? I think the win serves him very well.
