Well Prescott was fighting off the back-foot all night, and didn't seem to really sit on his punches. Be that as it may I was thinking that he would have been able to stop Teledo early, but even if that didn't happen I learned that Prescott isn't a one trick pony and can actually box a bit. The kid has a future, but I wouldn't put him in with the Marquez's and Funeka's of the world.
I think saying he got lucky against Khan is taking it too far, but it is a fairly meaningless fight. Prescott is what you'd expect from a Colombian. He's Edison and Dionisio Miranda, Zuniga, and Sam Miller. He's Joel Julio and Richar Gutierrez. Urango and Torres. He is whoever else I forgot. They have some power and basic skills, but they have all the same basic flaws.
I tried to tell people this after the Khan fight. I felt like I was the only person on the planet who had actually seen Prescott fight pre-Khan. He looked like shit against Abril. He looked better against Toledo than Abril, but he also looked worse than some guys we know aren't really quite top level did against Toledo. Prescott isn't a top level prospect. I'm not even sure he's a mid-level. If they guide him to a belt it will be with much care, and even then it will probably take a fluke pairing that makes no boxing sense: i.e. Mayorga beating Forrest twice.

Khan would beat the guy in a rematch
I don't think he would yet. That power of Prescott is truly something devastating (even though it's mostly all wildly swung haymakers).
If there was just one thing I was impressed with last night (even though I still don't like him), it's his power. I think he'd be dangerous at 140 or even 147 if he bulked up.
I like Prescott. He is still learning, he has flaws, but because of that he has a raw and exciting style.
I sincerely hope he has a future -- the guy has lived in poverty all his life and is trying to make life better for his family.
Best of luck to Breidis. He's one of the good guys.

Toledo was a guy sent in for Prescott to look good against. Going 10 rounds in this case simply isn't good enough if you're known as a power puncher. I was kind of watching the fight from the distance as I was at a bar with some friends, so I wasnt completely tuned in, but I wasn't impressed.
Then again I did not have high expectations to begin with. I was looking for a reason to bet against Prescott last night until I found out he was in with a guy who got KO'd in four of 5 losses. Soto and Peterson handled this guy with ease too. Soto isn't even a Lightweight.
