Breidis Prescott needs Alex Ariza

[ma51f]

Lol

neebies...

[Kagami Taiga]

he's an ehhh fighter and he will always be an ehh fighter. stamina issues never go away. esp for a fighter like him. ppl need to stop thinking so much of him. he struggles with mediocre guy after mediocre guy.

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

My question is, why Ariza?

[MurkaMan]

I don't care what anyone says this kid has got tools its just his stamina that lets him down majorly.

If you got this guy in shape there is no 140lb fighter on the planet that could beat him other than Lucas Matthysse. I am utterly convinced an in shape Prescott not only whoops Khan in a rematch but flattens Garcia, Soto, Olusegun etc yeah that includes Judah too.
This is not a troll thread, I really think this guy could be a killer. Even with his stamina issue I'd bank on him to rip Judahs head off. Not like Judahs tank is any better is it?

Very fast hands, good head movement, lateral movement, a wicked jab, very good power, decent footwork & a good chin.
He has everything you could ever want except a good tank.
Hes a good inside fighter too, very strong.

Such a shame, if he addressed this he'd probably be a world champion now with the scalps of Khan, McCloskey & Alvarado.
(don't care about a few set backs to a brilliant world champ in Vazquez or to a future world champ in Mitchell at a lower weight he couldn't make)

I agree. The fight he had with Paul changed him. Paul is one of those fighters who hits you impulsively while your off balance. Briedis learned how to do it after he fought Paul. Even when he lost to O'l boy in I think his second to last fight, I knew he had something.

If I had a square ass, I'd s**t bricks.

He has some crazy talent though, but so have a lot fighters who were decent at best.

My question is, why Ariza?

I think he could help best, I think he is the best S&C coach in the game.
Ric Moylan - S&C coach of Denton Vasell, Scott Quigg and the guy who used to whip Ricky Hatton into shape would be another great shout.
Anybody who can whip Hatton into shape must be very good lol

mackie shilstone > alex ariza

[danceswithfire]

i do think breidies has some good boxing skills and a decent puncher but thats where it ends...

[dan_cov]

he's done nothing personal

He beat Richard Abril, he knocked Amir Khan out in 30 seconds flat.
Dropped a superb technician in Vazquez & gave him one of the toughest fights of his career.
Gave future world champion Kevin Mitchell a good fight.

He went to Ireland & kicked McCloskeys ass and got robbed.
He virtually shut out the very highly regarded Mike Alvarado before he gassed & got stopped in the dying seconds. He beat Alvarado so badly he started to look like The Joker.

If this don't show he has talent, I dunno what does. People say oh he only knocked Khan out well I'd say his S/D win over a fantastic Cuban boxer in Richard Abril was just as good.
He just went to America & smashed a rather useful Figueroa to pieces.

He is constantly improving & with a good S&C coach behind him, he could be a machine at 140.

Yeah Id agree that with abit of moulding and a good conditioner Prescot has the tools to make some waves at this weight. Not sure he flatens all those guys teh 1st poster mentioned but I do see him being able to get in the mix by just addressing afew things.

Weve seen Abril easily beat Rios and Prescot beat him. Khan was regarded as the best at 140 and Prescot destroyed him and Avlarado was losing going into the last round so it shows that Prescot can fight at the top level. Always have a soft spot for this guy after what he did to Amir. That fight made me so happy so Id like to see Prescot do well.
