Prescott exposes British Khan job

Breidis Prescott KO1 Amir Khan... 2004 Olympic silver medal winner Amir Khan got knocked out by little-known Colombian Breidis Prescott in 54 seconds in Manchester, England earlier tonight.  Khan was Britain's most heavily hyped prospect but his first fight under trainer Jorge Rubio was an utter disaster. Prescott's left hands floored Khan twice, and the second time, the 21 year-old couldn't beat the count. Prescott came into this lightweight contest at 19-0 and had a fought a few bouts at junior welterweight, but had never fought anyone close to Khan's talent level. It mattered little, though, as Prescott continued Colombia's proud tradition of boxing upsets by sending Khan to 18-1. source: sportinglife
