There were no excuses from UK superstar Amir Khan (18-1, 14KOs), who earlier was destroyed in less than one-minute of the first-round by Colombian puncher Breidis Prescott (20-0, 18KOs), stunning the entire crowd at the MEN Arena in Manchester, England.

Afterwards, Khan vowed to return to the ring better and stronger. He was always under the radar for having a suspect chin, and that weakness was exposed to the highest level by Prescott who wasted no time in putting Khan away.

"I made a little mistake and just couldn't get it back again. That's boxing for you. I need to have a look at the video and come back stronger," Khan said. "I'm fine. I need to go back to the drawing board and put it right. I'm going to come back and I'm going to come back stronger."

There is some speculation in the UK that Khan's new trainer, the legendary Jorge Rubio, will be fired. Khan's promoter promoter Frank Warren revealed that Rubio was the one who recommended Prescott as the opponent for Khan. Warren feels that Khan can come back from the loss.

"I've got to take responsibility," Warren said. "He got caught cold first round. We knew he was a dangerous puncher and, as Amir said, it's back to the drawing board. Hopefully he'll learn from it. He's not the first fighter to get beat. Lots of fighters get beaten and come back and win world titles."
