Sky is as far as it goes

Amir Khan looked like a rabbit in headlights last night as Breidis Prescott knocked the Brit out in the first round of his WBO intercontinental lightweight defence last night. The Colombian known for his knock-out blows knocked Khan down twice before having the fight stopped inside 54 seconds.

Khan looked severely light weight against the Colombian and questions will have to be answered about why he was chosen to fight Khan, and whether Khan is really ready for world class opponents.

On this display he isn't even close. I would go as far as to say his career as a boxer is over. He showed last night that against an opponent of any sort of quality he flounders. There were questions asked about Khan durability when hit hard and we all found out last night that he has none whatsoever.

Every fighter gets knocked down at some point in there career, its just the way it goes. But the way Khan was humiliated in Manchester shows to me that this his fourth career knock down will be his last.

The humiliation goes beyond Khan himself. What about Sky themselves. Billing Khan as the next great British boxer on sky behind the likes of Lennox Lewis and Ricky Hatton. How they could give him such a high billing when Khan isn't even a proven boxer is absurd.

I wouldn't be surprised if many customers were asking for a refund after last night debacle, and rightly so.

Frank Warren isn't coming out of last night with any plaudits either. He, and Khan's new trainer will take the blame for the choosing of Prescott.

In my opinion it is a good thing that Prescott was chosen so we can all find out what sort of fighter Khan is, and we really did see his true colours, better we find out now than in a world title fight, an event which would be truly laughable.

Even worse for Warren is he now without any main headline boxers. Alex Arthur's defeat earlier in the evening, and Audley Harrison's awful points victory gives Warren a real dilemma.

So overall a real loose-loose situation for all parties last night apart from Prescott, he showed the boxing world that he is a force to be recond with. With 18 knock-outs from 20 fights he really is an executioner lets wait and see what his next scalp shall be.
